Connection
Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered
directly off a grounded switched circuit. Do not connect to a dimmer pack.
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into
service.

5.2
Stand-Alone Mode
The device starts running in stand-alone mode after connection to the mains. This mode allows you to
use the device without controller.
5.3
Master/Slave Mode
The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy chain.
All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.
Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.
The maximum number of slave units you can connect to a master unit is 18.
5.4
DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
