Operation
The PAR-350T can operate in different modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone
fixture or in a master/slave confiugration. This next section will detail the differences in the operating
modes.
Addressing
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the fixture starts to listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation
of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of
the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for
each fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to listen to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to listen to the channel number you have set, based on
the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect
only the selected fixture.
In the case of the PAR-350T, which is 4 channels fixture. If you set, for example, the address in the 4
channel mode to channel 5, the device will use the channel 5 to channel 8 for control.
Universal DMX Control
This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the dimmer and strobe. A DMX

Master-Slave Operation
This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. In a Master-
Slave set up 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.
