Master/Slave Fixture Linking

1.Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture.

2.Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

Often, the setup for Master-Slave and Standalone operation requires that the first fixture in the chain be initialized for this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP- switches. Secondarily, the fixtures that follow may also require a slave setting. Please consult the “Operating Instructions” section in

for this of setup and configuration.
