the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
•
Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
•
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.

7. Operation
The VDPL300QF2 can be used in the following modes:
•
Standalone mode (with the built-in microphone)
•
Master-slave
•
With a DMX512 controller
a. Standalone mode with built-in microphone
In standalone mode, the LEDS of the VDPL300QF2 will synchronize with the music through the built-in
microphone.
To set the device to standalone mode:
•
On the back panel [5], set DIP switch 9 to ON.
If you also set switch 10 to ON, the LEDS will run faster.
•
Set all other DIP switches to OFF.
•
If necessary, set the sensitivity of the internal microphone with the sensitivity knob [3] on the back panel.
b. In master-slave mode
The master/slave mode allows connecting several devices to a single master device. All slave devices will then
work synchronously with the master device.
You need to set one device to master mode and all other devices to slave mode. Connect all devices in series
with DMX cables.
•
To set the master device:
On the back panel [5], set DIP switches 9 and 10 to OFF, all other switches to ON.
•
To set the device to slave mode:
On the back panel [5], set all DIP switches to OFF.
Repeat this for every slave device.
c. With a DMX512 controller
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
•
On the back panel [5], set DIP switches 9 and 10 to OFF, all other switches to ON.
You can also use other devices in slave mode together with the DMX controller, as follows.
