Master/Slave Mode - Chauvet SlimPar 56 IRC IP User Manual

Master/Slave
Mode
SlimPAR™ 56 IRC IP User Manual (Rev. 2)
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimPAR™ 56 IRC IP unit (the "master") to
control the actions of one or more SlimPAR™ 56 IRC IP units (the "slaves") without the
need of a DMX controller. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison
with the master unit.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH or 7-CH shows on the display. The slave unit
will operate regardless of DMX personality.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to 001.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in Static Color Mode, Automatic or Custom Static
Color 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 unit.
·
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
