Master/Slave Mode (Auto or Sound Active):
Allows you to link up to 32 units together without a controller.
1.) Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX con-
nector on the rear of the units. It may be necessary to use a terminator at the
last fi xture. For more information about terminators, see page 8.
2.) Choose a unit to function as the Master. From the
menu, Select
MAST (see below for readout), then select
ON or OFF depending upon
which master mode you want. The master unit must be the fi rst unit. Finally,
chain the units together using DMX cable.
3.) Select slave function by selecting
, then either
or
SL 1 mode will cause all slave fi xtures to react the same as the master. SL 2
mode will create a “two light” show, where SL 1 and SL 2 fi xtures compliment
each other in a show while still maintaining master/slave confi guration. This
gives additional fl exibility in running shows in master/slave confi guration.
DMX Mode
Allows the unit to be controlled by any universal DMX controller. If you are unfamiliar with
DMX, please read the DMX Primer on page #17.
1.) The default mode for the fi xture is DMX, which appears as the adress num-
ber, for instance
on the LED Readout.
2.) To set DMX mode after previously using the fi xture in master/slave or stand-
alone mode, select
from the menu, then using the <UP> or <DOWN>
buttons, select the appropriate DMX address. Hit <ENTER> to confi rm the
channel, then hold down the <MENU> key for approximately 3 seconds to lock
the assignment into the fi xture. After the address is locked into the fi xture, it
will appear on the LED panel.
