The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
The Star LED can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-alone mode. Control Panel Fig. 4 A. LCD Display B. CHOOSE button C. ENTER Button D. Up Button E.
