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:

. 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.

did with the XLR cables.
