Never connect a fixture that is operating in Static, Automatic, Custom Static, or Sound
Active mode to a DMX string that is being controlled by a DMX controller because the
signals from the fixture may interfere with the signals from the controller.
Master/Slave Mode
This mode allows a single SlimPAR™ 56 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more
SlimPAR™ 56 units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be
set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while the slave units will be set to
operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the
master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 7-CH shows on the display.
2) Press <ENTER> to accept.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address to: d001.
4) Press <ENTER>.
5) Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
6) Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous
slave unit.
7) Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1) Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode, as previously indicated.
2) Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
 Wait until all the slave units are configured and connected before connecting
the master unit to the DMX daisy chain.

Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
