left to right. Use the UP or DOWN buttons to find your desired

NO DMX
- This mode can be used as a precaution mode,
that in case the DMX signal is lost, the operating mode
chosen in the setup is the running mode the fixture will go
into when the DMX signal is lost. You can also set this as
the operating mode you would like the unit to return to when
power is applied.
1. Press the MENU button until "NO DMX" is displayed, and either
"Sound", "Auto", "Black", or "Hold" will be displayed beneath.
2. Press ENTER and the bottom choice will begin to flash. Use
the UP or DOWN buttons to choose an operating mode you
would like the unit to start up in when power is applied or the
DMX signal is lost.
• Sound - If the DMX signal is lost or power is applied, the unit
will automatically go into sound active mode.
• Auto - If the DMX signal is lost or power is applied, the unit will
automatically go into Auto Run mode.
• Black (Blackout) - If the DMX signal is lost or power is applied,
the unit will automatically go into stand by mode.
• Hold - If the DMX signal is lost the fixture will stay in the last
DMX setting. If power is applied and this mode is set, the unit will
automatically go into the last DMX set up.
3. Press ENTER to confirm your desired set up.
Personality
- This will let you set your unit as a Master in
a master/slave configuration.

System Menu Dotz Panel 2.4
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a Elation®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the chases and patterns,
dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique
programs tailored to your individual needs. The Dotz Panel 2.4 has 5
DMX channel modes; a 3 Channel Mode, 6 Channel Mode, 8 Channel
Mode, 24 Channel Mode, & 29 Channel Mode. To select your channel
mode see page 8.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture's
traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the
Elation® Show Designer™ or the Elation® DMX Operator.™
2. To run your fixture in DMX mode, follow directions on page 8 to
set your DMX address and DMX Channel mode.
3. Plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX
controller.
4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.

Master-Slave Operation: This function will allow you to link up to 16
units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound
activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling
unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together
via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the
Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is
the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female
XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2. On the Master unit, designate the unit as a "Master" unit following
the instructions on page 10. Then set your desired operating mode.
3. On the slave units press the MODE button until "Slave Mode" is
displayed.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
