Stand-alone is an independent fixture operating state which basically means without the use of any
controlling device. The Spectrum™ Exterior Wash fixtures have 4 internal programs that can be manually
selected using the fixture's Control Panel. Once set, every time the fixture is powered, the program
selected will automatically execute. Selecting the program is done using the {ShNd} function in the fixture's
Control Panel. Skip over to "Menu Functions" – "Stand-Alone, Show Selection {ShNd}" for detailed
instructions. If you own multiple Spectrum™ fixtures, you can link them together so that they all follow one
leader in synchrony called the (master). This operating state is called Master/Slave mode.
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link multiple units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first
unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. Master/Slave operation does
not require any menu or setting selections. Simply connect each fixture in a daisy like fashion using
qualified 3 pin DMX cables as described below. The first unit in the chain will operate in a Stand-Alone
mode and all units following will synchronize to the first unit. You can choose from 4 internal chase
programs as described in the next page under "Stand-Alone, Show Selection {ShNd}".
Optional
1)
Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of
the first fixture.
2)
Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector
to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to
connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on as illustrated
below in "Daisy Chain Connection".
