Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a Elation®
universal DMX-512 controller to create unique programs tailored to
your individual needs.
1. The Arena Par CW has 2 DMX channel modes. To set the channel
mode see page 9. See page 14 for the DMX modes & traits.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 5-7 as well as the set-up specifications that are
included with your DMX controller.

Arena Par CW Master-Slave Operation
Master-Slave Operation: This function will allow you to link up to
16 units together and operate without a controller. In Master-Slave
operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will
react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master
or as a Slave.
1. Using standard XLR data cables, daisy chain your units together
via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the
Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is
the output. The rst unit in the chain (master) will use the female
XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male
XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina-
tor at the last xture.
2. Set the “Master” unit to your desired operating mode. The “Slave”
units will now follow the “Master” unit.
