OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating Modes
Stand-Alone mode will allow the independent execution of programs and a Master/Slave mode will
allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized manner.
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. You can create an unlimited
range of chase patterns at any speeds
MASTER/SLAVE & STAND-ALONE
Stand-alone is an independent fixture operating state which basically means without the use of any
controlling device. The Spectrum™ 575 Exterior Wash fixtures have 42 internal programs that can be
manually selected using the fixture’s dipswitches. Once set, every time the fixture is powered, the
program selected will automatically execute. If you own multiple Spectrum™ fixtures, you can link
them together so that they all follow one leader in synchrony called the (master). This operating state
is called Master/Slave mode.
The Master/Slave mode allows you to link multiple units in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the
first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. Simply connect each
fixture in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables and address master and slave fixtures
as described below. The first unit in the chain will operate in a Stand-Alone mode and all units
following will synchronize to the first unit.
1) Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of
the first fixture.
2) Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector
to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to
connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on as illustrated
below in “Daisy Chain Connection”.
