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.
