Operating Modes
•
A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs.
•
Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light
show to the sound.
•
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled
individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
STAND ALONE
The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of DMX signal or a
controller is not connected. All models will run through their built in programs as they listen to the
sound.
MASTER /SLAVE
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units you want in a daisy chain fashion. In
this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. A CA-8
and CA-8F Easy controller connected to the first unit in the chain will allow enhanced simple control
functions. Master/Slave operation does not require any menu or setting selections. Simply connect
each fixture in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables as described below.
1)
Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector
of the first fixture.
2)
Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on
as illustrated below.
Optional Controller
D MX MODE
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
fixture independently.
Menu Functions
DMX-512 addressing {Addr}
This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
