OPERATION OF FEATURES
CHAIN SIZE
You can synchronize several Apesticks. This allows you to present a per-
fectly synchronized show with several Apesticks without having to arduous-
ly program each device with the help a light desk.
You can thus create various types of running-light effects within seconds.
A maximum of 32 Apesticks can be integrated in the „CHAIN SIZE". If you
would like to use more than 32 Apesticks, you can assign numbers (POS in
CHAIN) more than once. For example in a long hallway (left side and right side).
And this is how it's done.
1. Press the On/Off button for 5 seconds until the „BLUE SETUP" flashes
(Apestick flashes blue)
2. You are now in „BLUE SETUP" – As from now you can follow all steps with
the remote control and effect your settings. (After entering data via the
remote control the tube flashes faster.)
3. Select how many devices will be used – let's assume there are 8
4. Call up the menu „CHAIN SIZE" under „BLUE SETUP"
5. Select the desired number of Apesticks and confirm with „enter" (8)
6. Call up the menu „POS IN CHAIN" under „BLUE SETUP"
7. Determine position of device and confirm with „enter" (from left to right)
8. Call up program with remote control or DMX transmitter
(All colours used in the programs can be changed with the buttons C1-C4)
GROUPS
Provided no other settings were made, all Apesticks will react synchronous-
ly to the remote control signals.
Assuming you would like to use several Apesticks in different locations
to present synchronized shows or simply to present a number of different
colours, you have the option to allocate groups to the devices.
Example
In room no.1 there are 10 Apesticks. The program should run in Chain Size
mode. In room no.2 there are 10 Apesticks. These should emit green light.
Both rooms are within the range of the remote control.
