Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Ovation FD-205WW (the "master") to control the actions of one or
more Ovation FD-205WW products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller to control the
slaves. The master will be set to operate in Master mode (MAST), while the slaves will be set to operate in
Slave mode (SLAVE). Once set and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.
To set each of the slaves:
1.
Go to the RUN MODE main level.
2.
Select SLAVE.
3.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave to the DMX output of the master.
4.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous slave
5.
Finish setting and connecting all the slaves
To set the master:
1.
Go to the SETTING main level
2.
Select MODE SETTING.
3.
Select MAST.
Note: If you select SELF, no DMX signals are sent to the slaves.
4.
Make the master the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
5.
Control the master using the DMX controller and the slaves will operate in unison.
The master is the one that runs a program in Static mode.
Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave
operation. The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.
The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.
