Circus™ 2.0 IRC User Manual (Rev. 1)
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Circus™ 2.0 IRC unit (the "master") to control
the actions of one or more Circus™ 2.0 IRC units (the "slaves") without the need of a
DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-
Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate from DMX starting address d 1.
Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Set the DMX address to d 1.
2. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
3. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
4. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Sound-Active or Automatic mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
daisy chain.
·
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the
master unit.
·
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
