XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (master) will
use the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use
the male XLR connector only.
2. Set the “Master” unit to your desired mode or operation.
3. For the “Slave” unit(s), set the display to DMX mode 3, or 3 Channel
mode. The display should read “3000” or any variables, i.e “3001”,
“3002 etc..
