ProTron LED

6. Master / Slave Operational Mode

The Master / Slave Operational Mode allows one ProTron LED Luminaire to act as the "Master" unit and all other connected units are controlled by this unit. When a unit is set to "Slave" mode, it will only listen to and follow any commands sent from a "Master" unit. Only one "Master" unit is allowed in this type of operation.

To setup a master / slave network:

Step 1. Set the first device in the DMX512 chain to Master Mode through the unit’s menu system.

Step 2. Set all other connected units to Slave Mode.

Step 3. The master unit can be controlled via DMX512, RDM or through standalone operation (self-contained network utilizing on-board effects). The slave units will mimic the master unit’s operation in all cases.

Note: For ProTron LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to "DMX CONTROL" on page 14.
