OPERATION
Stand-alone operation
The SynchroZap QX250 may be operated without a controller in a stand-alone mode in
which it performs a random sequence triggered by the beat of the music. Two or more Syn-
chroZap QX250s may be connected for synchronized stand-alone “master/slave” operation.
Single SynchroZap
1.
With the fixture off, set DIP-switch pins 1,2, and
10 to ON and set the others to OFF.
2.
Apply power to the SynchroZap QX250.
Adjust the volume of the music until the fix-
ture responds.
Multiple SynchroZaps
1.
Link the fixtures together as described under
“Connecting the serial data link” on page 8.
2.
Select one SynchroZap to be the “master”
by setting its DIP-switch pins 1, 2, and 10 to
ON as shown above. Any SynchroZap - but
no more than 1 - may be the master regard-
less of its position on the link.
3.
Set all other SynchroZaps to be “slaves” by setting DIP-switch pin 1 to
ON and setting all other pins to OFF.
4.
Apply power to the fixtures. Adjust the volume of the music until the fix-
tures respond.

The SynchroZap QX250 may be operated with any DMX-512 controller. It is ideally suited
for use with the Martin 2518 DMX Controller.
