Control & Functions
1. Dipswitches -
These switches serve two functions. In master-
slave mode these switches are used to assign a specific head address.
In DMX mode these switches are used to assign a DMX address to the
unit. In DMX mode each switch corresponds to a specific value based
on binary code. See page 7 for a detailed explanation of DMX binary
code.
2. Audio Sensitivity Knob -
This adjust audio sensitivity of the inter-
nal microphone. Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise direction
will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turning the knob in the counter
clockwise direction will decrease the fixture’s sensitivity to sound. If
the knob is turned completely in the counter-clockwise direction the
sound sensitivity function will turn off.
3. DC Input -
Accepts a DC 9V, 500 mA minimum, power supply
.
4. Power Switch -
Switches the power on or off.
5. XLR Output Jack -
This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX fixture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal
to the next Tri Star™ in the chain. For best results in DMX or Master/
Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain. See
“Terminator” on page 9.
6. XLR Input Jack -
This jack is used to accept an incoming DMX
signal or Master/Slave signal.
