SlimPAR™ Tri IRC series User Manual (Rev. 5)
Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimPAR™ Tri IRC series unit (the “master”) to
control the actions of one or more SlimPAR™ Tri IRC series units (the “slaves”) without
the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic
or Static Color mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set
and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press
<MENU>
repeatedly until
3-CH
shows on the display.
2. Press
<ENTER>
to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to
001
.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Static Color mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
•
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master
unit.
•
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
•
When using the Master/Slave mode with the IRC, set the slave units to
7-channel mode to ensure the best performance.
