Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows an STRIKE P38 (the master) to control one or more STRIKE P38 products
(the slaves) without a DMX controller. One STRIKE P38 becomes the master when running an auto program,
or by being in Static mode.
You must configure each slave's control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation,
the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX
controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.

cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from
