Master/Slave 

Mode 

(wired) 

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Shocker™ Panel 180 USB product (the “master”) 
to control the actions of one or more Shocker™ Panel 180  USB  products (the “slaves”) 
without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in either 
Automatic or Sound-Active mode, while the slave products will be set to operate in Slave 
mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master 
product. 

Configure the products as indicated below. 

Slave products: 

1.  Press 

<MENU>

 repeatedly until 

2-CH

5-CH

, or

 shows on the display. 

2.  Press

 to accept. 

3.  Set the DMX address to

4.  Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master 

product. 

5.  Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the 

previous slave product. 

6.  Finish setting and connecting all the slave products. 

Master product: 

1.  Set the master product to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode. 

2.  Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain. 

 

 

 

 

Configure  all the slave products before connecting the master 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. 

 

Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master. 

 

Master/Slave 

Mode 

(D-Fi™ USB) 

The  D-Fi™ USB  allows a single Shocker™ Panel 180  USB  product  (the “master”) to 
control the actions of one or more Shocker™ Panel 180  USB  products (the “slaves”) 
without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will 
be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode, while the slave  (receiver) 
products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products 
will operate in unison with the master product. 

Configure the products as indicated below. 

Slave products:

All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi™ 
channel. 

 

Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.

operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
