Often, the setup for Master-Slave
and Standalone operation
requires that the first fixture in
the chain be initialized for this
purpose via either settings in the
control panel or DIP-switches.
Secondarily the fixtures that
follow may also require a slave
setting. Please consult the
“Operating Instructions” section
in this manual for complete
instructions for this type of setup
and configuration.
