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.
