Operating instructions

Rev. 7 14 Eclipse™ RGB User Manual
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 “slav
es”) 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. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLA shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.
3. Set the DMX address to 001.
4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1. Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode.
2. 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.
• The lasers cannot be turned off. They can be set to a slow strobe.
• At higher rotation speeds, the operation noise may increase from the
product. This is normal.
