Operating  Modes: 

The  X-Scan  LED  Plus  can  operate  in  two 

different  modes.  In  each  mode  you  can  run  the  fixture  as  a 
stand  alone  fixute  or  in  a  master/slave  confiugration.  This  next 
section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

fixture

 will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.

Master-Slave Operation 

This function will allow you to link up to 16 

units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound 
activated. 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 approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-  
 

er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember 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. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina- 

 

tor at the last fixture.

2.   On the Master unit find your desired show and set that show by  
 

pressiing the ENTER button.

3.  On the slave units 

tap the MENU button until “

”  is dis-   

 

played, and Press ENTER.

4.   The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

Universal DMX Control: 

This function allows you to use a Elation

® 

universal  DMX-512  controller  to  control  the  chases  and  patterns, 
dimmer  and  strobe.  A  DMX  controller  allows  you  to  create  unique 
programs tailored to your individual needs.
