7.5 Stand-alone mode

Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is 

set as a master ("MASt.") and the rest as the slaves ("SLA.").Only one fixture can be set  as the master.The slaves  

mimic the behavior of the master.Effect actions are triggered by an internal timer of the master fixture.

Important!:

Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data col

lisions can occur and the fixtures  will not work properly!
