Installation Inserting the battery into the Push the lock of the battery holder towards the centre of the housing and pull out the battery remote control holder like a drawer. Insert the batteries. The battery is correct if the positive pole points to the housing base of the remote control.
Starting up Starting up Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards. Connections in DMX mode Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device.
Page 19
Starting up Connections in master/slave When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the mode other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device.
