Master/Slave Configuration - ADJ Vortex 1200 User Instructions

Vortex 1200
Universal DMX Control:
sal DMX-512 controller to create unique programs tailored to your
individual needs. The Vortex 1200 has 4 DMX modes; 14 DMX chan-
nels, 15 DMX channels, 17 DMX channels, and 29 DMX channels.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture's
traits with a standard DMX 512 controller. See pages 18-30 for
the DMX traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 7-8 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller's faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
This will allow you to create your own programs.
4. Follow the instructions on page 10 to select your DMX channel
mode and to set the DMX address.
5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
6. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Vortex 1200
Master-Slave Configuration:
to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will be
sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
trolling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs.
Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the
Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector
is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female
XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2. Set the Master unit to your desired operating mode.
3. On the slave units press the MENU button until "Slave Mode" is
displayed, and Press ENTER. Choose either "Slave 1" or "Slave 2"
and press ENTER. See page 11 for more info.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
