4) MASTER/SLAVE STANDALONE MODE:
When you have several SUNBAR COMBI units and you want them to all work synchronously, you can
work in the so called master/slave mode. To do this, just daisy-chain all the units (see drawing below)
• Select the desired settings for the manual, automatic or sound controlled program in this MASTER unit.
(this is the first unit in the chain, that has no controller connected to it)
• Now put all the other units in slave mode. Once this is done, the "slave" units will follow the orders of the
Master unit, so they work in perfect synchronicity.
To set a unit in slave mode:
• Press the [MENU] button until the display shows [SLA].
• Press the [ENTER] button to enter this mode.
• [SLAV] will appear on the display
• Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the slave mode.
5) CONTROLLED VIA DMX:
The unit can be controlled by any standard DMX-controller in 5 different DMX-modes: 1, 4, 11, 12 and 17
channels
• Connect the DMX input of the Sunbar to the DMX output of the previous unit in the chain or directly to
the DMX-output of your controller.
• Press the [MENU] button until the display shows: [dMH].
• Press the [ENTER] button to enter this option
• The actual DMX address is shown on the display.
• Press the [ENTER] button again
• The channel mode is shown on the display
• Use the [UP/DOWN] buttons to select the desired DMX-mode. (1Ch, 4Ch, 11Ch, 12Ch or 17Ch). See

Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of
the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the
end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.
