Operating Modes
Stand-Alone mode will allow the independent execution of programs and a Master/Slave mode will
allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized manner.
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. You can create an unlimited
range of chase patterns at any speeds

Stand-alone is an independent fixture operating state which basically means without the use of any
controlling device. The Spectrum
™
575 Exterior Wash fixtures have 42 internal programs that can be
manually selected using the fixture
’
s
dipswitches. Once set, every time the fixture is powered, the
program selected will automatically execute. If you own multiple Spectrum
™
fixtures, you can link
them together so that they all follow one leader in synchrony called the (master). This operating state
is called Master/Slave mode.
The Master/Slave mode allows you to link multiple units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the
first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. Simply connect each
fixture in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables and address master and slave fixtures
as described below. The first unit in the chain will operate in a Stand-Alone mode and all units
following will synchronize to the first unit.
1)
Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of
the first fixture.
2)
Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector
to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to
connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on as illustrated
below in
