12A

move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds.
After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function

automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is very good when you want an
instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode Show Mode and select show 1 or show
2 or show 3 or show 4 mode. Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it, and Its master
LED will be constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other units will have to set in
slave mode and select Slave 1 (normal) or Slave 2 (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged
into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly on.
2-light show
In slave mode, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2-light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast movement to each
other, even if you have two units only.
4.2 Easy Controller
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting to
the 1/4” microphone jack of the first unit, you will find that the remote
controller on the first unit will control all the other units for Stand by,
