Connectivity

You can link the Legend™ 412 Series to a DMX controller using a standard 5-pin DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Legend™ 412 Series, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

The Legend™ 412 Series uses the standard 5-pin DMX data connection for its ADVANCED and BASIC DMX personalities.

Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes.

Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Legend™ 412 Series to work in these modes.

The DMX Values section will provide you with detailed information regarding the DMX modes.

The Master/Slave mode allows a Legend™ 412 or a Legend™ 412 VW (the “master unit”) to control one or more Legend™ 412’s or Legend™ 412 VW’s (the “slave units”) without a DMX controller. The product becomes the master unit when set in master mode via the control panel. You must configure the slave units to operate in one of the two (2) slave modes from their respective control panels. During the Master/Slave operation, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit or run offset depending on the slave mode chosen.

Do not connect a Legend™ 412 together with a Legend™ 412 VW in Master/Slave mode.

If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, master/slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the 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 product.

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