Master/Slave-Operation
The master/slave-operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master-
device.
On the rear panel of you can find a DMX input plug and a DMX output connector, which can be used for
interconnecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. Set the desired Master-mode on the master-device. This
device then works as master-device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the
master-device via a balanced microphone lead. Connect the DMX out connectors with the DMX input plug of
the next device.
Set the DMX start address 001 on every slave-device.
DMX operation
Setting the number of DMX channels and the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 5 control channels.
However, it can also be switched to a mode with 3 channels if different functions are required. To be able to
operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set. The starting address
depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the controller's documentation.
Addressing
Press the MODE-button until the display shows Addr. You can now set the desired address via the UP or
DOWN buttons. Press Enter to confirm. The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,
which is defined as the first channel from which will respond to the controller.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Controlling:
After having addressed the device, you may now start operating it via your lighting controller.
Note: Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX chain. If several devices are addressed
similarly, they will work synchronically.
