8.2 Menu
Refer to the illustrations on page 3 of this manual.
8.3 Stand-Alone Mode
The device starts running in stand-alone mode after connection to the mains. This mode allows you to
use the device without controller.
1. Connect the device to the mains to switch it on
2. Press MENU to enter the menu.
3. Select the auto mode and confirm.
8.4 Master/Slave Mode
Notes

The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy
chain.

All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.

Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.

The maximum number of slave units you can connect to a master unit is 18.
Slave units:
1. Connect the DMX input from your slave device to the DMX output of the previous device in the
chain.
2. Connect the slave device to the mains to switch it on.
3. Repeat these steps for all slave units.
Master unit
1. Connect the master device to the mains to switch it on.
2. Press MENU to enter the menu.
3. Set the master unit to work in one of the running modes.
4. Connect the master unit as the first unit in the chain by connecting the DMX output of the master
device to the DMX input of the first slave unit.
8.5 DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.

All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to "listen" to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.

When all devices have the same address, all the units will "listen" to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will "listen" to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
To set the device to work with a DMX controller:
1. Press MENU and select the DMX mode.
2. Select the DMX start address and confirm.
Start addresses
Use the table below to define the correct address. The table shows the settings for units 1 to 3. Apply the
same principle for the other units. Example:
