Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single CORE™ 3x3
unit (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more CORE™ 3x3
units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master unit will be set to operate in Master mode 1 (and in either an Auto
program or Sound-Active mode), while the slave units will be set to operate in Slave
mode 1
. Once set and connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master
unit, each slave duplicating the master exactly.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1. Press <MENU> on the slave units until SLA shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and SLA1–SLA4 shows on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLA1 (Slave mode 1).
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
Master unit:
1. Press <MENU> on the master unit until SEnd shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and either SEd1 or SEd4 shows on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SEd1 (Master mode 1).
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Set the master unit to operate in either Auto program or Sound-Active mode.
6. Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
• Configure
all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX
daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller
may interfere with the signals from the
master unit.
• Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
