Standalone Modes:
Set the fixture in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX
controller. Never connect a fixture that is operating in any standalone mode to a DMX string connected to
a DMX controller. The fixture in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the
DMX signals from the controller.
To enable the Standalone Modes do the following steps:
1.
Connect the fixture to a suitable power outlet or use the internal battery.
2.
Turn the fixture on.
3.
Unlock the fixture menu display by holding down the Up and Down buttons for 5 seconds, the
word “Yes” will appear on the menu display. Then the fixture will be unlocked and ready to
change settings. For more information see page 13
4.
Press <UP> repeatedly and CG##, CJ##, CP##, NANU, STOB, SOUD and DENO, will show
on the menu display. Once one of these modes is selected the fixture will start to correspond
to that mode.
5.
Press <ENTER> to adjust the speed of the mode
6.
Press <UP>or <Down> and select the speed you desire
7.
Press <ENTER> and now your mode and speed will correspond as desired
8.
Press <MENU> to return to the previous menu
See Menu Map on page 13 and 14 for all the different standalone modes.
Certain programs will have additional functionality. To find these options, press <ENTER> after selecting
an auto program. Then press <UP> or <DOWN>. Not every program will feature all the added
functionality. See Menu Map on page 13 and 14 for all the different standalone modes.
Wired Master-Slave Configuration
:
This function will allow you to link together and operate
without a DMX controller. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the
others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1.
Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on
the rear of the units. Remember the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR
connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector
only- The last unit will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminal at the last fixture.
2.
On the Master unit press <MENU>, then use the <Up> or <Down> buttons to find “nASE” on
the menu display screen; press the <ENTER> button, use the <Up> or <Down> buttons to
select “Yes” on the menu display screen then press <ENTER>.
3.
On the Slave units press <MENU> then use the <Up> or <Down> buttons to find “nASE” on
the menu display screen; press the <ENTER> button, use the <Up> or <Down> buttons to
select “No” on the menu display screen then press <ENTER>.The Slave units will now follow
the Master Unit.

Wireless Master-Slave Configuration
:
This function will allow you to link together and
operate without DMX cables or a DMX controller. In wireless Master-Slave operation one unit will act as
the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a
Master or as a Slave.
1. Connect a DMX 512 cable from the output of a DMX 512 console or DMX 512 software to
the desired input of a Quattro fixture to become your transmitter/ master. Make sure your
controller source is on and is sending DMX protocol signals to your Quattro unit.
2. On the same unit that will be your transmitter/ master, next to the antenna you will find a
LED indicator and a red push button. In order for this unit to become a transmitter the LED
indicator must be yellow. If the LED is blinking or pulsing you are not in the right mode. To set
the unit as a transmitter:
•
Hold down the red Tx/Rx button and at the same time shut off the transceiver on / off
switch on the back panel of the unit. while still holding down the red push button turn
on the transceiver on /off switch and release the red push button after a second. If the
LED indicator is now solid yellow this unit is now a transmitter.
Note:
if the LED indicator is not solid and blinking or pulsing repeat the steps above
until the LED is solid yellow .)
3. On the units that will become receivers the LED indicator must be completely off.
Follow the same steps above to achieve this.
Note:
this same process must be done to all the units that will become receivers. This
process is unlimited.
4.
Once steps 1, 2 and 3 are completed, you will have one unit as your transmitter / master
with the LED solid yellow on and all other units as receiver / slave and the LED will be
completely off.
5 . Your final step is to link the transmitter unit to the receiver units.
•
On your transmitter / master unit press the red button <DOWN>
Now the transmitter unit will send a signal to all the receivers units. In this step, you will
see all the LED indicators on the units blinking fast.
•
Once the transmitter unit finds the best frequency to transmit, all the LED indicators
on the receiving units will be solid yellow.
Note:
if you don't want to use any of the units as a transmitter and will be using a Black
Box or other Wireless Solutions transmitters the process for the receiver units will be
the same as step 3, 4, 5. Then on that Black Box you will push down the red button to
link all the receiver units to the Black Box.
