Configuration
(Standalone)
Set this product in one of the standalone modes to control it without a DMX controller.
1. Connect this product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Turn this product on.
Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode, whether Static,
Automatic, or Sound to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. This is
because products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could
interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
Sound Active
Mode
To enable the Sound Active mode, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SND shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Turn the music on and adjust the microphone sensitivity knob until the product
starts reacting to the beat of the music.
The product will only respond to the low frequencies of the music (bass and
drums).
Automatic Mode
To enable the Automatic Mode, follow the instructions below:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until AUTO shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to adjust the duration of each step of the automatic
program from S__1 (fast) to S100 (slow).
4. Press <ENTER>.
Master/Slave
Mode
This mode allows a single Mini 4 Bar™ 2.0 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of
one or more Mini 4 Bar™ 2.0 units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller.
The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while
the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave
units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 512 shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to “001”, as previously explained.
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 either Automatic or Sound mode, as
previously indicated.
2. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
daisy chain.
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit.
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
