Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet SlimBEAM QUAD IRC User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
SlimBEAM™ QUAD IRC User Manual Rev. 1
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimBEAM™ QUAD IRC (the master) to control
the actions of one or more SlimBEAM™ QUAD IRC products (the slaves) without the need
of a DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Custom or Sound-Active
mode, or an auto program, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once
set and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until one of the DMX modes shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d 1–d51 will show on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
Master unit:
1. Set the master to operate in Custom, Auto, or Sound mode.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master to the 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.
·
Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.
