connected light effect units.

•The
control LED lights up.
2. Use the number buttons 1-16 to select the units to be controlled.
•The corresponding LEDs of the buttons light.
•If a number button is pressed once again,
the corresponding device is deselected. Instead of selecting
each device individually, devices with consecutive numbers can be selected simultaneously. For this, press
the first and last number button simultaneously. Example: For selecting the devices 1 to 8, press the
number buttons 1 and 8 simultaneously. Thus, all 8 devices will be selected simultaneously. In the same
way, it is possible to deselect all the devices again.
