Stand-alone Mode
The fixtures on a data-link are not connected to the controller, but can execute pre-set
programs, which can be different for every fixture.
To set the program to be played, see the “Stand-alone setting “ ( menu
) Stand-
alone operation” can be applied to a single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master/slave
mode or controller mode) or to multiple fixture operating synchronously.
For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link
and one of them is the master and the rest slaves. The DMX address of all the slaves are
assigned to
and on that particular slave address only one fixture can be connected. To
the fixture as the master or slave, see “Addressing” (menu
).
If the master fixture resets or runs a test (program), all slaves will execute these acts too.
You can’t play or edit any program on a slave, if the master is switched on and connected to
the master/slave chain.
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the master
fixture and into the output of the last slave fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper
transmission on the data link.
