9. Stand - alone mode
The xtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set program which can be
different for every xture."Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single xture (the xture may be set
to the master or slave mode ) or to multiple xtures operating synchronously.Effect actions are triggered by
sound,using built-in microphone, or automatically using an internal timer.
Synchronous operation of multiple xtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them
is set as a master ("MSt") and the rest as the slaves ("SLA").Up to 32 xtures can be connected in master/slave
chain.Only one xture can be set as the master.The slaves mimic the behavior of the master.
Important!:Disconect the xtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data col-
lisions can occur and the xtures will not work properly!
Time control
The master xture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave xtures.All xtures have a denite, syn-
chronized starting point when playing back their programs.Every xture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested by the master .
For example:
If the slave xture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master xture
nishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be nished).
If the slave xture has a longer program length,it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.

Audio control
The sound beat starts program steps simultaneous in the master xture and in the slave xtures.Every xture
runs its program repeatedly ,starting the program step when requested by the master.(Master is controlled by
sound and sends demand on the slaves to move them to the next prog.step).
Operating multiple xtures in stand-alone mode.
1.Select one xture and set it as a master (Menu path: "St.A."--->"St.M."--->MSt).
2.The rest of the xtures set as slaves (Menu path: "St.A."--->"St.M."--->SLA).
3.Build the master/slave chain.(See chapter DMX-512 connection and Master/Slave connection).
4.Activate automaticaly program running after switching the xtures on(Menu path: "St.A."--->"Aut."--->On).
