Master/Slave Connectivity

You may link the Q-Spot™ 560-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Q-Spot™ 560-LED, you can control each product individually with a single DMX controller.

The Q-Spot™ 560-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX personalities, Basic and Advanced. You will find information about these DMX modes in this manual. Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description, the Operation chapter for configuration details, and the DMX Values section for individual channel values.

The Master/Slave mode enables a Q-Spot™ 560-LED (the “master unit”) to control one or more Q-Spot™ 560-LED’s (the “slave units”) without a DMX controller. A Q-Spot™ 560-LED becomes the master unit when running an AUTO, SOUND, TEST, or CUSTOM program.

You must configure the slave units to operate in SLAVE mode from their respective control panels. During the master/slave operation, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.

If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, master/slave connectivity, or if you need information about the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, you may download the document DMX Primer from the CHAUVET® website: www.chauvetpro.com.

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to the products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the Master and Slave units.
