DMX Operation

This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must set
the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that
you refer to the "DMX Primer" section in the "Appendix" of this manual.

Accessing the 2 Personalities

There are two personalities for this fixture. There is the standard 7-channel personality with strobe
and color macros, and then there is the basic 3-channel RGB personality. Please see the DIP switch
settings to access each of these personalities below.
Mode
7-CH
3-CH
Master/Slave Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode, Static Colors)
This mode allows a single unit to run a standalone program, while 1 or more other units follow the
same operation. This requires the fixtures to be linked with DMX cables. Please see the section on
Fixture Linking.
1)
The Master unit may be operated in Automatic, Sound-Active, and Static Colors.
2)
Adjust the DIP switches to the Slave position on the slave units, and they will react the same as
the Master. See below for DIP switch assignment.
