Master/Slave Mode
The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will then
work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode.
1.
Connect all devices in series with DMX cables.
2.
The first unit in the chain functions as the master device. Set up the unit as described in
Stand-Alone
Mode
.
3.
On each slave device, press MENU until <AddR> is displayed and press ENTER.
4.
Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX starting address to <d1> and press ENTER.
5.
Repeat for each slave device.
9.
DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
In case of the 2-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–2), the
second to 3 (1 + 2) (CH3–4), the third to 5 (3 + 2) (CH5–6), and so on. The highest start address is 511.
In case of the 3-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–3), the
second to 4 (1 + 3) (CH4–6), the third to 7 (4 + 3) (CH7–9), and so on. The highest start address is 510.
In case of the 7-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–7), the
second to 8 (1 + 7) (CH8–14), the third to 15 (8 + 7) (CH15–21), and so on. The highest start address
is 506.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1.
Press MENU until <PERS> is displayed and press ENTER.
2.
Use UP and DOWN to select the 2, 3, or 7 channel DMX mode (2-CH, 3-CH, or 7-CH) and press ENTER.
3.
Press MENU until <AddR> is displayed and press ENTER.
4.
Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX starting address (d1–d512) and press ENTER.
