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 each slave device, press <MENU> until <Addr> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address to <d--1> 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 mode, 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. The highest start address is 509.
In case of the 6-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–6), the
second to 7 (1 + 6) (CH7–12), the third to 13 (7 + 6) (CH13–18), and so on. The highest start address
is 507.
In case of the 10-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–10), the
second to 11 (1 + 10) (CH11–20), the third to 21 (11 + 10) (CH21–30), and so on. The highest start
address is 503.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press <MENU> until <CHA> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
2. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the 4, 6, or 10 channel DMX mode and press <ENTER>.
3. Press <MENU> until <Addr> is displayed and press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the DMX starting address (d--1 – d512) and press <ENTER>.
