Master/Slave Mode

The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device
in a daisy chain. All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.
Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain. The
maximum number of slave units you can connect to a master unit is 18.
Slave Units
Connect the DMX input from your slave device to the DMX output of the previous device
in the chain. Connect the slave device to the mains to switch it on. Repeat these steps
for all slave units.
Master Unit
Connect the master device to the mains to switch it on. Press MENU to enter the menu.
Set the master unit to work in one of the running modes. Connect the master unit as
the first unit in the chain by connecting the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave unit.

DMX Mode

The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device
responds to the signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the
device starts to "listen" to the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used
for a whole group of devices or an individual address can be set for every device.
When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the control signal
on one particular channel. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will
affect all devices simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will
"listen" to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only
affect the device in question.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press MENU and select the DMX mode.
2. Select the DMX start address and confirm.
Start Addresses
Use the table below to define the correct address. The table shows the settings for units
1 to 3. Apply the same principle for the other units. Example:

11 start address
