5 Starting up
Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible high-
quality cables for all connections.
Starting up

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).

When the display is flashing in ‘DMX’ mode, no DMX signal is received. Perhaps the DMX con‐
troller is off or the wiring is incorrect. If the display lights up solid, the device is receiving a valid
DMX signal.
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.
