4. Operating Instructions 

The TFX-UVLED is a DMX-512 controllable, flash UV LED panel made up of highly efficient and 

super bright UV LEDs. The TFX-UVLED can operate in Stand-Alone, Master/Slave and via DMX-512 

control utilizing 3 channels.  

Standalone Mode 

The TFX-UVLED can be operated without a DMX controller 

in a standalone mode. It can be operated as a single fixture 

or together with several other TFX-UVLED fixtures in what is 

called a “Master/Slave” configuration. 

Single-Fixture Mode 

The TFX-UVLED can be set to operate independently of other fixtures or a DMX controller in either a 

sound-active or automatic mode. A serial data-link is not necessary for this mode of operation and it 

is recommended that no connection to other fixtures be made at all.  

1.  Simply choose from any one of 10 built-in “DIP-switch Options” from the table below.  

Master-Slave Mode 

A master-slave mode setup consists of more than one fixture connected in a serial data link without 

the use of a controller. In a master-slave operation the slave fixtures will synchronize and will behave 

either identically or in a planned chase pattern to the master unit which must be the first in the serial 

daisy chain. A Master-Slave TFX-UVLED system can consist of an unlimited range of fixtures or at 

least the number stated to conform to EIA-485 standards. 

S e t u p  

1.  The TFX-UVLED sets up automatically for Master-Slave, no DIP-switch settings are required other 

than for selecting DIP-switch Options. 

2. 

Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin 
connector to the 

DMX IN 

input connector of the Slave fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin 

connector. Continue the loop from 

DMX OUT

 to 

DMX IN.
