5. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in two ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will move all the motors to
their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit
will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.

other units to give an automatic light show. This function is good when you want an instant
