RGB Mode:

In this mode you can select either red, green, blue, or adjust the col-
ors to make a deisred color, which will remain static. You can adjust 
the intensity of each color to make your desired color..

1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “COLR” is dis-  

   played

and press SETUP.

2. You can press the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the intensity of  
   the displayed color. When you have adjusted your desired color 

   press SETUP to scroll to the next color. 

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.
