that is not meant specifically for the fixture. Because each fixture is connected in a
daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to
each and every fixture. The DMX address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s
memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by
an internal power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see
Section 10/Page 35 of this user manual.

automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the controller.

Each slave setting will have a different function for a dynamic lightshow without a controller.

This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/salve mode.
In “Master” mode the fixture will send DMX data to other fixtures connect via the DMX chain.

function, you can run the individual scenes either automatically, i.e. with the adjusted
