Configuration (Standalone) Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller. 1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet. 2. Turn the product on. Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static, Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
Master/Slave Mode The Master/Slave mode allows a single Eclipse™ RGB unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Eclipse™ RGB units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit. Configure the units as indicated below. Slave units: 1.
