Ego X Series fixtures can operate in master/slave mode with other Ego X
Series fixtures of the same type. This means that Ego X4 fixtures can
operate with other Ego X4s but not X5s or X6s, for example.
To install a data link for master/slave operation:
1. Insert a female XLR termination plug into the data input of the first
fixture. Using suitable cable, connect the data output of the first fixture
to the data input of the next fixture.
2. Connect additional fixtures output to input. Up to 32 may be connected.
3. Insert a male XLR termination plug into the data output of the last
fixture.
Note that:
• The female termination plug may not be required if the first fixture on the
link is the master.
• A termination plug is simply a connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor
soldered across pins 2 and 3.
