Master/Slave Mode

The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy chain. All
slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device. The first device in the daisy chain functions
as the master device.
To set the devices to master/slave mode:
1. Unplug any connection from the DMX input [11,12] of the master device (the first device in the chain).
2. Connect the DMX input of the first slave device to the DMX output [9,10] of the master device.
3. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave devices to the DMX output of the previous slave device.
4. On the master device, press MENU to open the menu.
5. Select <Show Setup>, then select <Slave Mode>, then select <Master>.
6. For further set-up of the master device, see Stand-Alone Mode.
7. On each slave device, press MENU to open the menu.
8. Select <Show Setup>, then select <Slave Mode>.
9. Select the desired slave mode:
<Slave1>: to run in normal slave mode.
o
<Slave2>: to run in reverse slave mode.
o
10. Set the DMX start address of each slave device to 1 (see DMX Mode for details).
7.7 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.
 In case of the 17-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1–17), the
second to 18 (1 + 17) (CH18–34), the third to 35 (18 + 17) (CH33–48), and so on. The highest start
address is 496.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press MENU to open the menu.
2. Select <DMX Functions>, then select <DMX Address>.
3. Set the DMX starting address (1–496).
