FREQ Matrix Quad Operation
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a Elation
®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns, dim-
mer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs.
1. The FREQ Matrix Quad has 4 DMX Modes; a 2 Channel Mode, 5
Channel Mode, 18 Channel Mode, & 64 Channel Mode. See
pages 14-17 for a detailed description of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 8-9 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
This will allow you to create your own programs.
4. Follow the instructions on page 8 to select your desired DMX
Mode and to set the DMX address. After you have selected your
DMX mode and set the address, then connect your DMX control-
ler.
5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
6. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.

Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allow you to link up to 16
units together and operate without a controller. In Master-Slave opera-
tion one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to
the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a
Slave.
1. Using appropriate XLR cables, daisy chain your units together via
the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male
XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the
output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR
con nector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR
con nector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at
the last fixture.
2. Set the Master unit to your desired operational mode.
3. On the slave units
tap the MENU button until “SLND” is display-
ed, and Press ENTER. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to switch
between either “SL 1” or “SL 2”. Once you have made your
choice, press ENTER. For more info see page 8.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
5. The optional UC3 Controller (not included) may be used to con-
trol different functions including blackout. See UC3 Control below.
