Master/Slave
Connectivity
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour (the “master
product”) to control one or more COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tours (the “slave products”)
without a DMX controller. One COLORado™ Deco Quad 1 Tour becomes the master
product when running an Auto or Custom program, or by being in
STA
mode.
You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in
SLA
mode. During
Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode.
The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master
product.
The
Operation
chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave products.

Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX
controller, download the DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website
