Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet SlimPAR Pro VW User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
SlimPAR™ Pro VW User Manual Rev. 6
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimPAR™ Pro VW (the "master") to control the
actions of one or more SlimPAR™ Pro VW units (the "slaves") without the need of a
DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either an auto program or static
color, while the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the
slaves will operate in unison with the master.
Configure the units as indicated below.
The slaves:
1. Set the DMX starting address to 001.
2. Connect the DMX input of the first slave to the DMX output of the master.
3. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
4. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
The master:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either an auto program or static color.
2. Make the master unit the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slaves before connecting the master to the DMX daisy chain.
·
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the
master.
·
Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.
