Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR jack and an XLR plug, which can be used for
connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all
other slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX-cable. Connect the OUT jack
with the IN plug of the next device.
Set the master device to the desired mode (all except Addr and SLAU). Set the slave mode (SL.AU) on
every slave device. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.
The master/slave operation via QuickDMX is also possible. Please refer to further information under chapter
QuickDMX.
POWER SUPPLY
The device can be operated with mains voltage and for mobile use via the internal rechargeable battery.
Mains operation
1
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable. Do not connect it to a dimming
pack.
2
When operating the device via the mains, the automatic charging for the rechargeable battery is always
active even if the unit is switched off. To prevent unnecessary power consumption, always disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket if the unit is not used for a longer period.
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:

Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected! If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a
disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent
electrical installation. The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in
compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.
Rechargeable Battery Operation
Prior to operating the device off mains for the first time, the rechargeable battery must be fully charged.
1
Switch on the device with the power switch. The operating time of the battery depends on the operating
mode and the ambient temperature (max. 24 hours). After the operation, switch the device off.
2
For charging the battery, connect the device to a power outlet via the enclosed power cable. Charging
time is 4 hours. The device may be operated during the charging procedure.
3
The device features a protective circuit for charging which prevents overload of the rechargeable
battery. However, disconnect the device from the mains after charging. Otherwise there will be a low
current consumption even if the device is switched off.
4
The device will heat up during charging; this is normal.
5
To prevent damage to the battery by deep discharge, recharge a battery completely discharged as soon
as possible. Do not store the unit with the battery completely discharged and regularly recharge the
battery in case of long storage.
