Connectivity

You can link the Q-Spot™ 460-LED to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible products with the Q-Spot™ 460-LED, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

The Q-Spot™ 460-LED uses the standard DMX data connection for the 11 and 14 channel DMX modes.

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

·Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the Q-Spot™ 460-LED 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 Q-Spot™ 460-LED (the “master product”) to control one or more Q-Spot™ 460-LEDs (the “slave products”) without a DMX controller. One Q- Spot™ 460-LED becomes the master product when running an Auto or Custom program.

You must configure each slave product’s control panel to operate in SLAVE mode. During Master/Slave operation, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to 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.
