How To Control The Unit; Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function; Dmx Controller - ACME CM-70Z User Manual

4. How to Control the Unit
You can operate the unit in two ways:
1. Master/slave built‐in preprogram function
2. Universal DMX controller
You do not need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, the new DMX address
setting will take effect immediately. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show "CM‐70Z" on the
display and move all the motors to their 'home' position and you may hear some noises for about
20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give an
automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an
instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode Show Mode and select show 1 or show
2 or show 3 or show 4 mode. Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it, and its master
LED will be constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other units will have to set in
slave mode and select Slave 1 (normal) or Slave 2 (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged
into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly on.
2‐light show
In slave mode, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2‐light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast movement to each
other, even if you have two units only.
