Operation
The PAR-350T can operate in different modes. In each mode you can run the xture as a stand alone
fixture or in a master/slave confiugration. This next section will detail the differences in the operating
modes.
Addressing
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct xture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture starts to listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation
of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of
the device.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or make different address for
each xture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to listen to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to listen to the channel number you have set, based on
the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect
only the selected xture.
In the case of the PAR-350T, which is 4 channels xture. If you set, for example, the address in the 4
channel mode to channel 5, the device will use the channel 5 to channel 8 for control.
Universal DMX Control
This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the dimmer and strobe. A DMX
controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
Stand-alone mode
In this mode, the xture can be operated without a controller.
1. Press the MENU button.
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to slect “CC--”, “CP--”, “DE--” which can be used as stand-alone
mode, and press ENTER.
3. Press the UP or DOWN button to adjust speed of the programs, speed increasing from 00-99.
Note: Disconnect the xture from the controller in stand-alone operation.
Master-Slave Operation
This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. In a Master-
Slave set up 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 approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear
of the units.
2. Set the desired Master mode. The following mode can act as master mode: “CC--”, “CP--”, “DE--”,
“Oxxx“, “Yxxx“, “Txxx“.
3. For the slave units. Set the DMX address to 001.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
