Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet COLORpalette User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
Page 16 of 20
The Master/Slave mode allows a single COLORpalette™ product (the master) to control
the actions of one or more COLORpalette™ products (the slaves) without the need of a
DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-
Active mode, while the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and
connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MODE> until dxxx or Axxx shows on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to cycle through the menu until dxxx shows on the display.
3. Press <ENTER> to accept.
4. Set the DMX address to 001.
5. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master
product.
6. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the
previous slave product.
7. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to run in auto or sound mode.
2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the 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.
