10. OPERATION 

 

 Operating Modes

: The Platinum Spot LED Pro™ can operate in six different modes. This 

next section will detail the differences in the operating modes. 

 

•  Auto  Program  Mode  (Master)  - 

The  fixture  will  chase  through  the  built-in  programs, 

sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a 

synchronized light show.   

 

•  Auto Program Mode (Stand-alone) - 

The fixture will chase through the built-in program. 

This  feature  is  great  for  store  front  with  custom  logos,  where  as  the  logos  need  to  be 

displayed but the use of a controller is unwanted. 

 

•  Music Control Mode (Stand-alone) - 

The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the 

built-in programs. Great for small clubs or DJ that do not want to bother with programming.

   

   

•  Music Control Mode (Master/Slave) -

 

You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to 

get  a  synchronized  light  show  without  the  need  of  an  external  controller.  The  fixtures  will 

react to sound, chasing to a synchronized light show.  

 

•  Set To Slave – 

This function will set the fixture to slave mode for use in either the auto 

program or music control program modes

 

 

•  DMX control mode -

 

This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits 

with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2. 

 

10.1 

Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Program or Music Control):

 This mode allows a  

 

 

single fixture to run to the built-in programs with or without sound. Only use this  

 

 

mode when running a single fixture, or when running several fixtures as individuals. 

§

 

Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner. 

§

and  select  the  “Auto  Program”  function,  this  will  give  you  access  to  the 

“Auto Program” submenu. See page 24 for the menu breakdown. Once in
