Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet Megta Strobe FX12 User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
Page 14 of 18
The Master/Slave mode allows a single MegaStrobe™ FX12 unit (the "master") to
control the actions of one or more MegaStrobe™ FX12 units (the "slaves") without the
need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or
Sound-Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set
and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLAV shows on the display.

3. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
4. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.

Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.

Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX 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 unit.

Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
