Stand-alone Mode

Stand-alone operation can be applied to a single fixture.

Go to MODE and set M-AU (Stand-alone). The fixture will play its internal program.

Stand-alone operation can be applied to a single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master/slave mode or

controller mode) or to multiple fixture operating synchronously.

For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures, the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link and one of

them is set as a master (M-SO) and the rest as slaves (M-SL). The DMX address of all the slaves are

assigned to 001 and on that particular slave address only one fixture can be connected. To the fixture as

the master or slave, see page 12

If the master fixture resets or runs a test (program), all slaves will execute these acts too.

You can’t play or edit any program on a slave, if the master is switched on and connected to the

master/slave chain.

Note: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data

collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly!

It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the master fixture and into

the output of the last slave fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

From the master’s control panel it is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
