should take no more than 20 seconds and it is necessary for the fixture to operate correctly. During this
time you will hear motor and mechanical movement inside the fixture. After this initial power-up sequence,
if the fixture receives no DMX signal, it will enter into a stand alone mode. Be sure to power up your DMX
controller device before the lighting fixture to avoid unwanted auto mode operation.
Operating Modes
All models can be operated in three different ways.
A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs.
Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized
light show to the sound.
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be
controlled individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
ST AND AL O NE
The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of DMX signal or a controller is
not connected. All models will run through their built in programs as they listen to the sound.
MAST ER/ SL AVE
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. The ILS system provides for the
synchronization of all CHAUVET products whose model number is pre-fixed by the letters ILS.
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.
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".
DMX MO DE
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a
wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are
endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently.
Menu Functions
DMX-512 addressing {Addr}
This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address"
from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel
indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels of DMX and was
addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and
