Multiple Calypso fixtures (Master/Slave Mode)
1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
2. Make sure the powercables off all calypso fixtures are unplugged.
3. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Calypso.
The pins: 1. Earth
2. Signal -
3. Signal +
4. Link the units as shown in (Fig. 3); connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's “SLAVE OUT" socket
to the second unit's "IN" socket. Connect a DMX signal cable from the second unit’s “OUT” socket to
the third unit’s “IN “socket. Repeat this process to link the third unit, fourth unit etc.
You can use the
same functions on the master device as described on the former page (Single Calypso (music

. This means on the master device you can set your desired operation Mode and all slave
devices will react the same as the master device.
