Master/Slave Standalone Operating Modes, DMX Operation

Configuring the Starting Address

Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap. In addition, you should note the starting address selected for future reference.

The SlimPAR™ 38 uses seven or three DMX channels. If this is your first time using DMX, we recommend reading the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix”.

DMX Operation

This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual.

1.Press <MENU> until 3-CHor 7-CHappears on the LED screen.

2.Press <ENTER>.

3.Using <UP> and <DOWN>, select the desired DMX address (d001~d512).

Master/Slave (Standalone Operating Modes)

This is the operating mode which will allow one fixture to act as the “master” and control all of the other “slave” fixtures. You must set both the master and the slave(s) fixtures to the correct mode for this operation.

Master Settings:

1.Connect the fixtures with DMX cables, as shown in the “Fixture Linking” section.

2.Use any one of the standalone modes for the master unit. This includes: P--, C--, and U--

Slave Settings:

1.Press <MENU> until 3-CHor 7-CHappears on the LED screen.

2.Press <ENTER>.

3.Using <UP> and <DOWN>, set the DMX address to d001.

4.Press <ENTER>.

Although any fixture in the DMX daisy chain may be set to master, it is advisable to set the master as the first fixture in the line.

Only one fixture may be set to master.

Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operating mode.

It does not matter which DMX mode is selected for the slave fixtures. Either mode will be effective.
