3. How To Control The Fixture
There are three ways to operate the unit:
A. In Master/Slave operation
B. As an universal DMX controller
C. Via Easy controller (Pocket master I)
A. Master/Slave operation
The fixture will allow you to link the other fixtures together and operate
without a controller. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control the
others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show.
This function is good when you want an instant show.
The first fixture has to be set in master mode, its DMX input socket must
be unplugged, and the other fixtures must be set in slave mode. The DMX
input socket of each slave unit must be connected to the DMX output of
the respective previous fixture by DMX cable. Any fixture can be set as a
master or as a slave.
In Master/Slave mode refer to the DMX settings below:
Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch =
ON, all others are OFF)
Slave units: DMX start address may have any value EXCEPT 001
(example: set the first 3 DIP switches to ON)

2-light show
DIP switch 10 "off" means the unit works normally and "on" means
inversion. In order to create a great light show, you can set DIP switch 10
"on" on any unit that is linking to the master unit to get contrast movement
to the master unit, even if you have two units only. DIP switch 10 on the
first (Master) unit is of no use for the 2-light show as it is the master unit
that operates the light show.
B. Universal DMX controller
When using an universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you
have to set the DMX addresses by DIP switches from 1 to 9 to make sure
all the units will receive its DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to learn how to address your DMX
512 system in the binary code.
