Fuse Replacement

With a flat-head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the
damaged fuse from its holder and replace
with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse

Product Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light
shows of one or more products using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows
on two or more products set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of
channels required by all the products on a serial data link determines the number of
products the data link can support.
Important: Products on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single

Master/Slave Product Linking

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin
connector of the first product.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first product which will have a (female) 3
pin connector to the input connector of the next product consisting of a (male) 3 pin
connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the
following product and so on.
Often, the setup for Master-Slave
and Standalone operation requires
that the first product in the chain be
initialized for this purpose via either
settings in the control panel or DIP-
switches. Secondarily, the products
that follow may also require a slave
setting. Please consult the
"Operating Instructions" section in
this manual for complete
instructions for this type of setup
and configuration.
