Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Scorpion™ Scan 3D EU unit (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more Scorpion™ Scan 3D EU units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active 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
<FUNC>
repeatedly until
SLA
shows on the display.
2.
Press
<ENTER>
.
3.
Set the DMX address to 001.
4.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.
6.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1.
Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.
2.
Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master
unit.
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
Configuration
