Setting up your Firestorm for Slave Control

(1) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-
         clamp fastened onto the Firestorm bracket). Leave at least one meter on all
      sides for air circulation.  
(2) Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the 

unit. (See figure 6, page 13.) Then plug the other end of the cord into a 
proper electric power supply socket. 

(3) Link up all the units by DMX cables (we recommend DAP cables)
(4) Push the mode button till the display shows o-s. Now you can select if the 

unit should as master unit (o-s) or as slave unit (o-d). You can select the 
master or slave mode by using the up or down key.

         When the master fixture is in auto-mode all the units will run the build-in 

programm on a fixed speed. If the master fixture is set up as a slave unit all 
the fixtures will react to the speed of music.

(5) The master unit will always send 20 channels DMX out to controll the slave 

units. Therefore it is important to give a slave fixture an DMX address as 
well. 

           Push the mode button till the display shows a three digit number. Eg. 001.
         Select the desired address by the up and down button.
           See the diagram below to select the correct DMX address in slave mode.
