The display shows the operation time in hours.
2. Press <MENU> to quit.
7.3 Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, the device runs one of the built-in programs: automatic or sound-activated.
To set the device to stand-alone mode:
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [5] of the device.
2. Press <MENU> until <SHMD> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select a built-in program:
COLO SP1 ~ SP8 automatic program, different speeds
FADE SP1 ~ SP8 fade effect, different speeds
MANU R000 ~ R255

green, blue, white) individually
SOUN S1, S2, S3 sound-activated modes
7.4 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 fixture. Set up the unit as described in Stand-
Alone Mode.
3. On the master device, press <MENU> until <SLMD> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose <MAST> and press <ENTER>.
5. On each slave device, press <MENU> until <SLMD> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
6. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to choose <SLAE> and press <ENTER>.
7.5 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture 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 4-channel VDPLP710RGBWx, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~4), the second to 5 (1 + 4) (CH5~8), the third to 9 (5 + 4) (CH9~12), and so on.
• In case of the 8-channel VDPLP710RGBWx, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~8), the second to 9 (1 + 8) (CH9~16), the third to 17 (9 + 8) (CH17~24), and so on.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press <MENU> until <CHMD> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
2. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the 4 or 8 channel DMX mode and press <ENTER> .
3. Press <MENU> until <Addr> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address (A001 ~ A512) and press <ENTER>.
