Stand-alone Mode
The fixtures on a data-link are not connected to the controller, but can execute pre-set programs, which
can be different for every fixture.
To set the program to be played, see the “Stand-alone setting“ ( menu
and ).
Stand-alone operation” can be applied to a single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master/slave
mode or controller mode) or to multiple fixture operating synchronously.
For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link and one
of them is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as slaves (slave mode). The DMX address of all the
slaves are assigned to
and on that particular slave address only one fixture can be connected. To
the fixture as the master or slave, see “Addressing” (menu ).
If the master fixture resets or runs a test (program), all slaves will execute these acts too.
You can’t play or edit any program on a slave, if the master is switched on and connected to the
master/slave chain.
Note: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data
collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the master fixture and
into the output of the last slave fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper transmission on the data
link.
From the master’s control panel it is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
