Primary-Secondary Set Up - Elation SIXPAR 100WMG User Manual

P R I M A R Y- S E C O N D A R Y S E T U P
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.
Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the bottom 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 con-
nector only.
2. On the units that you want to designate as secondaries, use the display screen and control
panel to navigate to "Secondary Mode" and press the ENTER button to confirm.
3. On the unit that you want to designate as the primary, no additional action is required.
Simply set the unit to operate in your desired mode, and the linked secondary units will
now follow the primary.
NOTES:
• Only one unit should be configured as the primary, while all the other units should be con-
figured as secondaries.
• All units should be set to the same DMX channel mode.
• If fixtures fail to sync, verify that all settings mentioned above are the same, then power
all devices off, then switch them on again to re-establish the link.
