Master/Slave Mode Operation
Master/Slave
Master/Slave mode allows you to connect multiple units together using one (1) unit to control
others in a chain. When a fixture is set to ‘Master Mode,’ this unit will always act as a
controlling unit until it is switched out of ‘Master Mode’. The Master unit will send out signal
via DMX to Slave units which will react in synchronization. When a fixture is set into ‘Slave
Mode’, this fixture will receive the Master signal. To avoid master signal and DMX signal
interference, do not connect DMX when using Master/Slave mode. If using a DMX run longer
than 60 meters and/or over 32 units, a signal amplifier may be required.
