"Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master /slave mode or
controller mode
) or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is
set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA1-SLA9
and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.To set the fixture as the master or slave , see
the "Addressing" (menu "
A001"
).
If the master fixture runs a reset,switches On/Off the lamp or plays program ,all slaves will execute
these acts too.
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and
runs its program.
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when playing back their programs.The number of running program is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "
St.AL.
" ).Every fixture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested by the master .
For example:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its
prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.
Stand-alone operation can be set for one or two periods during a 24 hour period,using the built-in clock or for a light
level,using the built-in light sensor.If both the clock and the light sensor are active, operation starts within the set
times or if it is darker than the light-level setting.Operation stops at the stop times or if that the ambient light is
brighter than the set light level.
If the time periods overlap each other or if the time period overlaps the light level period,the fixture will respond
to the events according to their ranks.
For example:
Starting point
Restart
All events will be executed
(Start1,Stop1,Start2,Stop 2).
The events Start 1 and Stop 2
will be executed only.
The events Start 1 and Stop will
be executed only.
The Time period1 and Light
period will be executed ,the
Time period 2 is eliminated.
