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 of the master device (the first device in the chain).
2.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave device to the DMX output of the master device.
3.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave devices to the DMX output of the previous slave device.

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.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller
1.
Press MENU to open the menu.
2.
Select the 4-, 5- or 7-channel mode.
3.
Set the DMX starting address.
