4. How to Control the Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1.
By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2.
By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting will
be affected at once. Each time you turn the unit on, it will show “BEAM-K8” on the display. After
that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units together in master/slave, the first unit (the master) will control the other units
(the slave) to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good
when you want an instant show.
To set the first unit as a master, press the ENTER button to show the MASTER MODE on the display.
To set the unit as a slave, press the ENTER button to show SLAVE MODE on the display.
4.2 DMX Address Setting
To set the DMX address, press the MENU button to show DMX Address on the display. Press the
ENTER button. Use the DOWN and UP button to change the DMX address. Once the address has
been selected, press the ENTER button to setup, to go back to the functions without any change
press the FUNCTION button. Press the FUNCTION button to exit the menu mode.
