Operation - Elation Color Tone 50 User Instruction

10. OPERATION

Operating Modes: The Color Tone 50™ can operate in four different modes. This next
section will detail the differences in the operating modes.
• Auto Program Mode (Master) - The fixture will chase through the built-in programs,
sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a
synchronized light show.
• Auto Program Mode (Stand-alone) - The fixture will chase through the built-in program.
This feature is great for store front with custom logos, where as the logos need to be
displayed but the use of a controller is unwanted.
• Set To Slave – This function will set the fixture to slave mode for use in either the auto
program or music control program modes
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2.
10.1 Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Program): This mode allows a single fixture to run
to the built-in programs with or without sound. Only use this mode when running a single
fixture, or when running several fixtures as individuals.
 Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.
 : Access the menu and select MODE-RUN-AUTO, this will give you access
to the "Auto Program" submenu. See page 17 for the menu breakdown.
10.2 Master/Slave Operation (Auto Program): This function allows up to 16 fixtures to
be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without the use of a
controller. Only use this when linking several Color Tone 50 together for use without
a controller. Any fixture can act as a "Master or a "Slave."
 Using XLR DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the XLR
connectors. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female
XLR connector is the output. The first fixture in the chain (master) will use
the female XLR connector only - The last fixture in the chain will use the
male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at
