Scorpion™ BLU User Manual (Rev. 6)
Master/Slave Mode
This mode allows a single Scorpion™ BLU product (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more Scorpion™ BLU units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic, Sound, or Laser
Sky mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and
connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press
<MENU>
repeatedly until
SLA
shows blinking on the display.
2. Press
<ENT>
(
SLA
will show solid on the display).
3. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master
unit
4. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of
the previous slave unit.
5. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either, Automatic, Laser Sky, or Sound
mode, as previously indicated.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
•
Wait until all the slave units are configured and connected before
connecting the master unit to the DMX daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
