PERATION
Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Festoon/Festoon VW product (the "master") to control the actions
of one or more Festoon/Festoon VW products (the "slaves") without the need of a DMX controller. The
master product will be set to operate in either Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6, 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 <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH, 9-CH, 60CH** shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER> to accept.
3.
Set the DMX address to d 1.
4.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
5.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave
product.
6.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1.
Set the master product to operate in C-- or P-- (or turn the IRC setting to ON).
2.
Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
**The menu setting of 60CH may also appear as 120CH or 180CH, depending upon how many
strings you have attached.
•
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.
D-Fi USB Connectivity
The Festoon/Festoon VW is able to become a D-Fi wireless receiver/transmitter with the use of the D-Fi
USB from Chauvet DJ. Simply set the product's DMX Personality and DMX Address, set the DIP switch D-
Fi receiving/transmitting channel, then plug it into the D-Fi USB port.
You will need two (2) D-Fi USB in order to use the Festoon/Festoon VW wirelessly with another Festoon/
Festoon VW, one to transmit and one to receive.
WARNING! DO NOT plug anything other than a D-Fi USB into the USB port. Doing
so may cause damage to the product.
Before plugging in the D-Fi USB, set the DMX Personality and DMX address on your product. Then do the
following:
1. Set BOTH:
·
the Channel (1-16), and then
·
the Receiving or Transmitting option.
NOTE: DIP Switch 5 is for Transmitting OR Receiving, please choose carefully.
