DMX CONTROL MODE: Control the unit using a DMX controller.
1. Use a DMX cable to connect the output port of your DMX controller to the DMX Input port of your
first fixture. If multiple units will be running off the controller, then connect the DMX Output port
of your first fixture to the DMX Input port of the next fixture, continuing until all fixtures are daisy-
chained together via their DMX Input and Output ports. Refer to the DMX Setup section of this
manual for detailed information about DMX connections.
2. From the main system menu, press UP and DOWN to navigate to "DMX Settings", then press
ENTER.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to the "Address" option, then scroll to the desired channel
and press ENTER to confirm. This channel represents the channel at which the fixture will begin to
listen to the DMX signal.
•
If you want all of your fixtures to react in the same way, then all fixtures should be set to the
same DMX starting address.
•
If you want each of your fixtures to react differently, then each fixture's DMX address that is
spaced apart from the previous fixture's DMX address by the number of DMX channels that the
fixtures have been set to run. For example, when running in a mode with 6 DMX channels, unit
addresses should be set to 1, 7, 13, 19, etc.
For detailed information, please refer to the DMX Setup section of this manual.
4. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to the "Ch Mode" option, and select the DMX channel
mode that you would like the fixture to operate in. Press ENTER to confirm. Please refer to the
DMX Traits section of this manual for detailed information.
5. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to the "No DMX" option, then press SETUP to select. Use
the UP and DOWN buttons to select the option for how you would like the unit to behave when
DMX signal is lost or interrupted, then press ENTER to confirm. Please refer to the System Menu
section for detailed descriptions of each option.
PRIMARY-SECONDARY MODE: This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-
Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the
controlling unit's built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary,
but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary.
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR
data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and
the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR
connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
2. From the main system menu, use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to "Personality", then press
ENTER.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll to "Prim/Sec Mode", and press ENTER.
4. The fixture can be set to Primary or Secondary. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select one or
the other, depending on which mode you would like the current fixture to use, then press ENTER
to confirm.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each linked unit. Make sure that only one unit is designated as the Prima-
ry, while all other units are designated as Secondaries. The secondary units will act in conjunction
with the primary unit.
