5. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave with built-in preprogram function
2. By easy controller
3. By universal DMX controller
There is need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as the new DMX
address setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show AE-4W on
the display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for
about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in
programs.
5.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give
an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want
an instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode
and select
(show 1) or
(show 2) mode. Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it and Its
master LED will be constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other units will
have to be set in slave mode
and select
(normal) or
(2 light show)
mode, Their DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led
lights will constantly on.
2-light show
In
(slave mode),
means the unit works normally and
means 2-light
show. In order to create a great light show, you can set
on the second unit to get
contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.
