To Other Slaves
(if applicable)
Master/Slave Modes
The Lex7Star can be linked together with other Lex7Star units to
create a stunning, in-sync lightshow. This is acheived by linking the
units together via the 3 pin DMX connections at the rear. Please see
diagram below:

By choosing the
Master
program mode and connecting the DMX OUT
to another fixture will allow the
Slaves
to copy the
Master
. The above
example shows the
Master
set to Sound-To_Light Mode. Dip switch 9
on the Slave(s) tell the unit it is a slave.
DMX Mode
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form
of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A
DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller
to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from
fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR termi
-
nals located on all DMX fixtures.
The Lex7Star is a DMX enabled fixture and the DMX mode and
DMX address settings are controlled via the Dip Switches. It
also carries the standard 3-pin XLR connections for DMX use.
To set your fixture for use with a universal DMX controller:
Dip Switches all to the OFF position
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
off
on
With all Dip switches set to OFF position now means your
fixture is now in DMX mode and is awaiting for you to assign a
DMX Fixture address. Address settings are obtained by using
dip switches 1 - 9. See example below:
Light 1 in the (01)DMX Universe -
Dip 1 to ON
Light 2 in the (17)DMX Universe -
Dip 1 & 5 to ON
Light 3 in the (34)DMX Universe -
Dip 2 & 6 to ON
This based on the controller having 16 channels per fixture.
Please see the instructions of your controller for more details on
fixture addressing.
