Control” submenu. See page 21 for the menu breakdown. Once in the
“Music Control” submenu select “Alone”
10.2 Master/Slave Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This function allows
up to 16 fixtures to be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without
the use of a controller. Only use this when linking several fixtures together for use
without a controller. Any fixture can act as a “Master or a “Slave.”
Using XLR DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the XLR
connectors. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the
Female XLR connector is the output. The first fixture in the chain (master)
will use the female XLR connector only - The last fixture in the chain will
use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.
For the unit functioning as the “Master” unit follow the same procedures
listed in the previous Stand-Alone section.
For the “Slave” units, access the “Set To Slave” settings in the “Function
Mode” menu and assign each slave fixture a designation (Slave 1, Slave 2,
Slave 3…etc.).
10.3 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512
controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2™ or Elation® Show Designer 3™ to
control head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits.
A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual
needs. The Platinum Spot LED Spot™ uses 16 (default up to 20) DMX channels. See
page 37 for detailed description of the DMX traits. To control your fixture in DMX mode,
follow the set-up procedures on pages 16-19 as well as the set-up specifications that
are included with your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to control the
various DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.
Follow the instruction on page 30 to set the DMX address.
Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable
runs (more than a 100 feet).
For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual that was included with
your DMX controller.
