Stand-alone operation 17
Single stand-alone operation
In single stand-alone operation, a fixture runs its own program
independently of all other fixtures. To do this, the fixture must be set as a
master.
Activating single stand-alone operation
To activate single stand-alone operation:
1. Set DIP switch pin 10 to ON (activates stand-alone mode).
2. Set DIP switch pin 9 to OFF (activates master mode).
3. Apply power and program the fixture using DIP switch pins 1 - 8 (see
“ DIP-switch settings in stand-alone mode ” on page 15).
Master/slave stand-alone operation
Important! Do not set more than one fixture on a data link as master, and
do not set a fixture as master on a data link with a DMX
controller. Doing so may cause damage to the electronics that is
not covered by the product warranty.
In master/slave stand-alone operation, one master fixture transmits a
synchronizing signal to slave fixtures over the data link each time it starts a
new action. Slave fixtures start their next programmed action when they
receive this signal from the master fixture. Programs can be identical on all
fixtures, or fixtures can – subject to certain practical constraints – run
programs that are synchronized but not identical.
Note that:
• Colors are always displayed in the order: white, red, green then blue. This
means for example that if red is activated, it will always be first in the
program. If red is not activated but green is activated, green will be first in
the program.
• Each fixture follows the program set on its own DIP switch as described in
“ DIP-switch settings in stand-alone mode ” on page 15.
More sophisticated light shows can be programmed using a DMX controller
(see “
DMX-controlled operation ” on page 21).
The synchronization signal used by Stage Cyclo fixtures is identical to that
used in other DMX-controllable Cyclo fixtures with the same number of
tubes, allowing these products to be combined in master/slave operation on
one data link.
