Configuring the

Master

Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator™ Wash Zoom 250 IRC (the master) to control the actions of one or more Intimidator™ Wash Zoom 250 IRCs (the slaves) without a DMX controller.

In Master/Slave mode the master is set to operate in Auto mode, Sound mode, or IR mode and the slaves are set to operate in Slave mode.

The master and slaves are daisy chained though the DMX input and output ports with the master at the beginning of the chain. Once set and connected, the slaves will operate identically to, and in unison with, the master.

Always put the male DMX connector into the master. Do not connect to the DMX In port on the master.

Never connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX daisy chain of master and slaves. Configure all the slaves before connecting the master to the DMX daisy chain.

Configure the slaves for Slave mode before or after they are put in position, and before they are daisy chained to the master.

1.Make sure the product is connected to a power source.

2.Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4 icons show on the display.

3.Use <UP> and <DOWN> to highlight the Run Mode icon.

4.Press <ENTER>. The Run Mode options will show on the display.

5.Use <UP> and <DOWN> to highlight the Slave option.

1.Make sure the product is connected to a power source and connected to all the slaves.

2.Press <MENU> repeatedly until 4 icons show on the display.

3.Use <UP> and <DOWN> to highlight the Run Mode icon.
