Even if other modules (non-"Master") are switched on later, they will receive (at least after a few seconds) the settings from
the he Master.
The communication of the Radio Remote Control or the PC Dongle with the Master is 2-way. But the master itself sends
signals to the other modules only in one direction. However, this safe, because if any packet goes lost, the next will follow
after a a few seconds. Even if many packets are lost, the network will still work synchronous.
It is good practice to set a module in the middle of the network as Master. If there is any of the other modules too far from
the master, it will not follow reliable (or not at all) to the Master's commands (so this can be recognised easily).
A word about the range: The Radio Remote Control has a less stronger antenna (it is inside of the enclosure) than the
Chromoflex RC modules or the USB Dongle. The range of the Radio Remote Control is therefore normally below the range
of e.g. Master to other modules. To achieve a good range, we recommend to justify the antenna directly „into the air". Dense
materials (especially if close to the antenna) like stone, concrete and metal parts may reduce the range significantly. In case
of weak signals, sometimes if often already helps, if the module is moved some cm.
Keypad configuration
All buttons on the keypad have multiple functions, grouped in different levels: In the top level the different effects and 20
