Operating Modes: The Accu Spot 300 can operate in three dif-
ferent modes. This next section will detail the differences in the

operating modes.

• Stand alone mode -
The unit will react to sound, or chase through the built-in programs.
• Master/Slave mode -
You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get a synchronized
light show without the need of an external controller. The units will
react to sound or chase through the built-in programs.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
Designer.
Universal DMX Control:
versal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
or Elation
wheel, gobo wheel, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows
you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Accu Spot 300 uses eleven DMX channels. Channel 1 con-
trols pan, channel 2 controls tilt, channel 3 controls color, channel
4 controls gobo wheel, channel 5 controls gobo rotation, channel
6 controls the shutter/strobe, channel 7 controls the dimmer,
channel 8 controls the focus, channel 9 controls the prism rota-
tion and gobo macros, channel 10 controls the speed of the pan/
tilt movement, and channel 11 controls the lamp, motor resets
and internal programs. See pages 38-41 for detailed description
of the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 10-12 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller's faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4. This will allow you to create your own programs.
5. Follow the instructions on page 16 to set the DMX address.
6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
