Master/Slave operation
The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master
device.
On the side panel of the DMX interface you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR-plug (DMX In), which can
be used for connecting several devices.
Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all other
slave devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX OUT jack with
the DMX IN plug of the next device.
Set the desired master mode for the master device, as described in chapter Menu structure. Set the DMX address
001 and the master setting to "OFF" for all slave devices.
Adjusting manual zoom
1
Loosen the knurled head screws on the top and bottom sides of the device.
2
Adjust the zoom by sliding the lens-housing forward or backward.
3
Tighten the knurled head screws on both sides of the device.
Please note: When setting the zoom, always adjust on both sides of the unit at the same time. One-sided adjusting
could lead to a misalignment in the guide grooves.
DMX operation
You can control the devices individually via your DMX-controller.
Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features
are listed under Functions in DMX mode.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from which
the device will respond to the controller.
If you set for example the address to channel 3, the device will use the channel 3 and 4 for control.
Please note, for control via DMX, the DMX-Interface must be set to "Demo = SC00" and "Mast = Off".
Press the UP/DOWN-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the device via
your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is data
received at the DMX-input, the red LED on the DMX interface will flash. If there is no data received, the red LED
will remain lit.
This situation can occur if:
- the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective.
- the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector.
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 defined to the same address,
they will work synchronously.
