Operation

 

 

Note: Stand-Alone and Master-Slave operation require sound to acti- vate! The units will blackout in this mode to conserve bulb life when there is no sound present.

Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): This function allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music. Only use this function when running a single unit, or when running several units as individuals.

1.To activate the Sound-Active mode, set dip switch 10, on the rear of unit to the ON position (See “Master Unit” on the DIP SWITCH chart on page 15).

2.The unit will now react to the low frequencies of music via the inter- nal microphone.

3.Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity, turning the knob in the counter-clockwise direction will decrease the fixture’s sensi- tivity to sound.

4.The optional MINI/C Blackout Controller may be used with this function. This controller is used for blackout function only.

you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.

1.Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connectors on the rear of the units. Remem- ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. Refer to the set-up procedures beginning on page 10.

2.Follow the Master-Slave dip-switch chart on page 16 for proper dip-switch settings.

3.The optional MINI/C Blackout Controller may be used in this operation mode to control the blackout.

4.After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in, adjust the sensitivity knob on the rear of the master unit to make them react to sound.

5.Several unit may share the same slave setting as long as there are no more than 16 units in a Master-Slave configuration, however only one unit may have the “Master - Head 1” dip switch setting.

Linking: Your fixture comes with several built-in programs. These pro- grams are designed to work with up to 16 units when daisy-chained together in a master-slave configuration. Any unit can function as either a “Master Unit” or a “Slave Unit.” Link the units together using standard DMX cable.

Master/Slave Linking:

For a more dramatic effect, link several Color units together.
