Chauvet 648 user manual DMX Channel Assignments and Values, Master/Slave Mode, 2-CH

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Impulse™ 648 unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Impulse™ 648 units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.

Configure the units as indicated below.

Slave units:

1.Press <MENU> repeatedly until 512 shows on the display.

2.Press <ENTER> to accept.

3.Set the DMX address to 001.

4.Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.

5.Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the previous slave unit.

6.Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.

Master unit:

1.Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.

2.Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.

∙Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX daisy chain.

∙Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

∙Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
