SELF CYCLE Option
This mode sets the unit to cycle through various colours depending on the mode. Provision has been
provided for all colour cycling, warm options or cool options and a couple of different speeds.
The most popular is “SLOW RNBW” for a gradually changing colour sequence of all colours, which
shows off the true colour depths of the LEDs. “TEST” switches between the three colour chains of
LEDS so the individual elements within each colour chain can be seen and checked.

MODE MSTR
This mode is available on the menu but the enabling hardware is available as an upgrade option. It
allows the unit to be configured as a MASTER in a DMX universe and eliminates the need for a
lighting desk for a simple lighting setup. Other SLAVE units set in MODE SLV will respond to Wireless
DMX signals output from this MASTER device. MASTER mode has built-in patterns of lights allowing
each SLAVE to replicate the colour changes of the MASTER Unit, thus creating a wider lighting
scheme using a network of lights that are synchronised together.
It is possible to set the output of MASTER mode to send via a built-in Wireless Solutions W-DMX
transmitter (OUT WDMX) if this option has been purchased.
SLAVE units will need to be connected to the MASTER unit. This can be achieved by selecting the
“ADD UNIT” in the MASTER DMX menu. Prior to this the SLAVE unit needs to have its wireless
disconnected from any other transmitter by entering “WDMX UNLNK”. This also puts the SLAVE into
“hunting” mode where it will seek a new MASTER unit. When the unit comes into contact with a
master unit in “ADD UNIT” mode, the two units will automatically pair together after a few seconds.
During this process a decimal point will flash quickly in the bottom right corner of the display
simultaneously on both Master and Slave units. When this extinguishes and becomes statically “on”
then pairing is complete. Any number of slaves can be connected to a single Master unit in this way
at the same time by setting all Slaves into “Unlink” mode then adding them with a single “Add Unit”
entry on the Master unit.

MODE SLV
SLAVE mode is fitted to every unit as standard and can be configured to work with a Wireless-DMX
transmitter.
WirelessDMX uses a module from Swedish firm Wireless Solutions with a built-in antenna within the
housing exterior.
