4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating Modes
The unit can be operated in stand-alone (sound activated), Master/Slave mode, or DMX mode.
Stand-alone
The Stand-alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture does not receive a DMX signal,
regardless of DIP switch settings. The fixture will run through its built in program (sound activated).
Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units as you want, without a controller, in
a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all
other units following regardless of their DIP switch settings. See the Setup section for instructions on
how to connect the various units.
DMX Mode
This mode allows the unit to be controlled by any universal DMX controller.
Using DMX Mode
If you are unfamiliar with DMX, please read the DMX Primer section.
1) Daisy chain the fixture(s), using DMX cables, from the output of the DMX controller as indicated
in the Setup section.
2) Assign the individual DMX address, using DIP switches 1 to 9 on each unit.
3) When the fixtures detect DMX signal, they will automatically switch to DMX operation mode.
