Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet Intimidator Spot 355 IRC User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
Page 18 of 25
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Spot 355 IRC (the master) to control
the actions of one or more Intimidator Spot 355 IRC products (the slaves) without the
need of a DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Automatic or
Sound-Active mode, 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 products as indicated below.
Slaves:
1. Press <MENU>.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to choose Run Mode.
3. Press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Slave.
5. Press <ENTER>.
6. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Slave1, Slave2, Slave3, or Slave4.
·
Select Slave1 for 100% synchronized actions.
·
Select Slave2, Slave3, or Slave4 for a delayed show with all heads in the
same direction but with a delay creating a wave effect.
7. Press <ENTER>.
8. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master.
9. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
10. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
Master:
1. Set the master to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.
2. Make the master the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
When including Intimidator Spot LED 350 products in Master/Slave configuration
with Intimidator Spot 355 IRC products, you must observe the following:
·
When the Intimidator Spot LED 350 is the master and the Intimidator Spot 355
IRC is connected as a slave, the Intimidator Spot 355 IRC must be set to DMX
mode with a starting address of 001. DO NOT set the Intimidator Spot 355 IRC
in Slave mode when an Intimidator Spot LED 350 is the master.
·
The Intimidator Spot 355 IRC will not operate as the master to an Intimidator
Spot LED 350 connected as a slave.
·
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 slave units to the master.
