4.2 Master/Slave Operation
The unit can be linked together in daisy chain as many as you need in master/slave mode
to perform the great built-in pre-programmed lighting shows triggered by music.
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 but NOT 001 (example: set the first 3
DIP switches to ON)
2-Light Show
Dipswitch 10 "off" means the unit works normally and "on" means 2-Light show. 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.
Dipswitch 10 on the first (Master) unit is no use for the 2-light show as it is the master unit
that operates the light show.

4.4 Universal DMX Controller

address by Dip switches from 1 to 9 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX signal.
The dip switch 10 is used to choose channel mode. Please refer to the following diagram
