Operating Modes:
• Sound-Active mode - The unit will react to sound.
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each
individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512
controller such as
as the Elation
®
Show Designer™.
Sound Active Mode:
1. Plug the fixture in and put dipswitch #1 in the “ON” postion.
2. The fixture will now change via sound.
3. The optional
UC3 Controller
(not included)
may be used to
control different functions including blackout.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
This mode will allow
you to link up to 16 units together and
operate without a controller.
In Master-Slave mode, the units will react to sound. In Master-Slave
operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will
react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master
or as a Slave.
1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-
ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR
connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.
2. Choose a unit to function as the Master and set dipswitch #1 to
the “On” position.. This unit must be the first unit in line. Then
sim-
ply daisy chain the units together using XLR cables.
3. Now set the Slave units dipswitches all to the “Off” position. Now
they should react the same as the MASTER.
Note: When running fixtures in Master/Slave configuration
dipswitch 10 in the “On” position will make the fixture do the
opposite to the other fixture. Example: Four fixtures linked
together. On fixtures 1 and 3 put dipswitch 10 in the “On” posi-
tion. Now fixtures 1 & 3 will run the same and fixtures 2 & 4 will
run opposite. This makes a great light show.
4. The optional
UC3 Controller
(not included)
may be used to
control different functions including blackout.
