•Stand alone mode - The unit will rotate to the pre-defined speed set with the dip switches. You can also use the optional MINI/C remote to control a blackout function.

•Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get synchronized motor rotation. The motor will rotate to a preset speed. You can also use the optional MINI/C remote to control a blackout function.

•DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each unit’s individual traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the American DJ® and LSC® DMX Operator™ or Show Designer.™
