Master/slave operation
Several devices may be interconnected (max. 32). Then all slave units can be synchronized and controlled
with the master unit without the need for a DMX controller. The devices must be set to the corresponding
operating modes.
1
Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit. For this, press the MENU button until M/S
Mode is indicated in the display under Personality. Confirm with the ENTER button. Choose SLAVE and
confirm with the ENTER button.
2
To define the master unit, press the MENU button until M/S Mode is indicated in the display under
Personality and confirm with the ENTER button. Choose MASTER and confirm with the ENTER button.
3
Connect the DMX output of the master unit to the DMX input of the first slave unit. Then connect the
DMX output of the first slave unit to the DMX input of the second slave unit, etc. until all units have been
connected in a chain. Make sure the master unit is the first in the chain. Do not connect a DMX controller
to the DMX input of the master unit.
4
Select the desired setting at the master unit. The interconnected devices will now operate
synchronously.
DMX operation
To be able to operate the device in DMX mode, it must first be set to DMX under the menu item NETWORK
=> Control Mode (see Menu structure).
Setting the number of DMX channels and the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 67 control channels.
However, it can also be switched to a mode with 28 or 34 channels if different functions are required. To be
able to operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set. The starting
address depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the controller's documentation.
1
Press the button MENU until DMX Address is indicated on the display under DMX Setup. Confirm with
the ENTER button. The display indicates the DMX starting address setting (001). Use the UP and
DOWN buttons to set the desired starting address and confirm with ENTER.
2
Menu item Channel Mode is then indicated on the display. Confirm with the ENTER button. The menu
for the DMX modes is called up. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired DMX channel
mode: 28CH (28 DMX channels), 34CH (34 DMX channels) or 67CH (67 DMX channels). Confirm with
ENTER.
3
When DMX signals are being received, the display will blink.
Note: Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX chain. If several devices are addressed to the
same address, they will work synchronously.
The LEDs of the device are separated into 12 Beam pixels and 2 Ambient Light strips, which can be
individually controlled with the following DMX-protocol.
The LEDs of the device are arranged as shown in the graphic below.
