For the unit functioning as the “Master” unit follow the same procedures listed in the previous section “Stand-Alone section.

For the “Slave” units, access the “Set To Slave” settings in the “Function Mode” menu and assign each slave fixture a designation (Slave 1, Slave 2, Slave 3…etc).

A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs. The Design Beam 1200C™ uses 21 DMX channels. See page 45 for detailed description of the DMX traits. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures beginning on page 18 as well as the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.

Follow the instruction on page 33 to set the DMX address.

Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet).

For help operating in DMX, consult the user manual that came with your DMX controller.
