Continued from previous page
The Master/Slave mode allows a group of COLORado™ 2 fixtures (the slaves) to
execute simultaneously the same program (Auto or Custom) that another
COLORado™ 2 fixture (the master) is executing. This mode works without a DMX
controller.
1) Set the Master Unit:
a) Set the running mode to DMX as explained in "DMX Control Without ID
Addressing".
b) Select an Auto program as explained in "Auto Programs".
2) Set the slave units:
a) Press <MENU> repeatedly until RUN shows; press <ENTER> to accept.
b) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLAV; press <ENTER> to accept.
c) Press <MENU> to return to the main level.
The fixture that runs an auto program automatically becomes the master. There
can be only one master fixture in the Master/Slave connection.
Do not connect a DMX controller to the fixtures in the Master/Slave connection.
Otherwise, the signals from the controller may affect the slave fixtures.
If you want to use a DMX controller, set all the fixtures to DMX and to the same
starting address.
The RGBW to White setting determines how the COLORado™ 2 generates the white
color based on the RGB settings.
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until SET shows; press <ENTER> to accept.
2) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select RGBW; press <ENTER> to accept.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select ON or OFF; press <ENTER> to accept.
4) Press <MENU> to exit twice to exit to the main level.
When RGBW is set to ON, setting Red, Green, and Blue to "255" will create a
balanced white, albeit with a reduced output.
When RGBW is set to OFF, setting Red, Green, and Blue to "255" will produce
the maximum output, although the resulting white will be imbalanced.
The Power Setting determines the power drawn by the COLORado™ 2.
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until SET shows; press <ENTER> to accept.
2) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select POW; press <ENTER> to accept.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select HIGH or NORM; press <ENTER> to accept.
When POWER is set to HIGH, the light output is maximum and the power draw is
150 W.
When POWER is set to NORM, the light output is reduced and the power draw is
90 W.
This setting determines the output of the COLORado™ 2 based on the position of the
Red, Green, Blue, White, and Dimmer faders.
1) Press <MENU> repeatedly until SET shows; press <ENTER> to accept.
2) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Dim; press <ENTER> to accept.
3) Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select a dimmer curve (Off, Dim1, Dim2, Dim3, or
Dim4).
4) Press <ENTER> to accept.
When Dim is set to "Off", the output is proportional (linear) to the Dimmer and
RGB channel values.
When Dim is set to "Dim1" through "Dim4", the output follows the Dimmer and
RGB channel values based on the corresponding dimmer curve, being Dim1 the
fastest and Dim4 the slowest.
