COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 User Manual Rev. 3
The COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 supports power linking. You can power link up to 17
products at 120 V; up to 28 at 208 V; or up to 31 at 230 V.
This product comes with a power input cord. A power linking cable is available from
Chauvet for purchase.
You can link the COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 to a DMX controller using a standard DMX
serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the COLORdash™
Batten-Hex 8, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.
The COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 uses the standard DMX data connection with its DMX
personalities.

Hex 8 to work in these modes.
· The
DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX
modes.
The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 (the master) to control
one or more COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 products (the slaves) without a DMX
controller. One COLORdash™ Batten-Hex 8 becomes the master when running an Auto
or Custom program, or by being in a 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.
The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure
the master and slaves.
