2. Press ENTER button to confirm.
7.4 Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single fixture (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more other
fixture (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in
either Automatic or Sound 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 512 shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to 001.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
Notes
 Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.
 Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the
controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
 Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
7.5 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.
Example
 To use the 1-channel mode, set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1), the second to 2 (CH2),
the third to 3 (CH3), and so on. The highest start address is 512.
 Use the table below to define the correct address. The table shows the settings for units 1 to 3. Apply
the same principle for the other units.
