Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
trolling unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in
programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only
one unit can be programmed to act as the “Master.”
Master-Slave Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the
unit. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your units to-
gether. Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input and
the Female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the
chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only. The last
unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
Note:
You can also daisy chain the power cords, this can only be
done with 20 fixtures. After 20 you will need to use a new
power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO NOT mix
fixtures.
2. You will also have to link the power cords to each other, as you
did with the XLR cables.
3. Using the Master unit, choose your desired mode or program and
connect the “Slave” unit or units.
4. On the “Slave” unit(s) press the MODE button until “SLAv” is dis-
played. They will now follow the “Master” unit.
