Power Linking
The LX 306 supports power linking. You can power up to 6 devices at 230 V. Never exceed this number.
Power linking cords can be purchased separately.
DMX Linking
You can link the device to any DMX controller with a standard DMX serial connection. If you use another
DMX compatible product with the LX306, you can control each device with a single DMX controller.

Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, the device runs one of the built-in programs.
To set the device to stand-alone mode:
1.
Unplug any connection from the DMX input of the device.
2.
Press MENU until <Auto> is displayed and press ENTER.
3.
Use UP and DOWN to select the built-in program and press ENTER.
7.3
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. The first device in the daisy chain
functions as the master device.
To set the devices to master/slave mode:
1.
Unplug any connection from the DMX input of the master device (the first device in the chain).
2.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave device to the DMX output of the master device.
3.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave devices to the DMX output of the previous slave
device.
Master

3.
Use UP and DOWN to select <Master> and press ENTER.
Slave
1.
On each slave device, press MENU until <M&S Mode> is displayed and press ENTER.
2.
Use UP and DOWN to select <Slave> and press ENTER.
7.4
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.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1.
Press MENU until <Channel> is displayed and press ENTER.
2.
Use UP and DOWN to select a channel and press ENTER.
3.
Press MENU until <Address> is displayed and press ENTER.
4.
Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the DMX start address and press ENTER.
