Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Cubix™ 2.0 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Cubix™ 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.

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.

2.Make the master unit the first unit in the daisy chain.

Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.

Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.

Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

Unplug the product from power.

Wait until the product is cold.

Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.

Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.

Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.

Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
