4. How To Control The Unit

You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. Master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. Universal DMX controller
You do not need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, the new DMX address
setting will take effect immediately. Power the unit on, move all the motors to their 'home'
position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to
receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.

4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function

By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give an
automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an
instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode
and select
(show 1),
(Show 2),
(Show 3),
(show 4) or
(show 5)mode. Its DMX input jack
will have nothing plugged into it, and its master LED will be constantly on and sound LED will flash
to the music. The other units will have to set in slave mode and select
(normal) or
(2 light show) mode. Their DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the
slave LED lights will be constantly on.
2-light show
In slave mode,
means the unit works normally and
means 2-light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set
on the second unit to get contrast movement to each
other, even if you have two units only.

4.2 DMX Controller

Using a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512
channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
