4- Function MODE
3 ways to operations for the Derby III LED:
• Master/Slave operation
• Universal DMX controller
• Manual operation
A. By Master/Slave Built-in Preprogrammed Function ( AUTO or
SOUND)
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit ( Master) must be turned Dip
switch 9 "ON", then will control the others to give a coordinate automatic light show and
it's good for instant shows. In this mode, the other unit ( Slave) must be turned Dip switch
10 "ON". The first unit is easy to recognize by nothing in its DMX input jack. The others of
chains (Slave) will have DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain).
Example :
Switch 8 "ON" + switch 9 "ON" : unit will work in Auto program and will be the "Master"
B. By DMX
When using a universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you have to set DMX
address by Dip switches from 1 to 8 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to know how to address your DMX 512 system in
