Primary-Secondary Set Up | Multi Unit Power Linking - ADJ ELECTRAPIX PAR 7 PAK 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 connector only.
2. On the unit that you want to designate as the primary, use the display screen and control panel to
navigate to Personality > Prim/Sec Mode, then select "Primary" and press the SETUP button to
confirm. Configure the operation of the device as desired.
3. On the units that you want to designate as secondaries, use the display screen and control panel
to navigate to Personality > Prim/Sec Mode, then select "Secondary" and press the SETUP button
to confirm. The secondary units will now follow the operation of the primary unit.
NOTES:
• Only one unit should be configured as the primary, while all the other units should be configured
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.
