ANDEM
MODE
Two 2518 DMX Controllers with v. 2.1 or higher firmware and connected using the
Tandem Connection Kit, P/N 91616005, can be operated in a 2-controller tandem
mode in which DMX channels, faders, and scenes per bank are doubled.
The top controller provides access to channels 1 - 72 and scenes 1 - 6; the bottom
controller provides access to channels 73 - 144 and scenes 7 - 12.
The functions of the controls in tandem mode differ slightly from that described for a
single controller. The most important difference is that in tandem mode, each channel
button controls 12 channels, instead of 6, so there is no need to switch between high
and low channels. In addition, MIDI execution is not supported in tandem mode.
Otherwise, tandem mode programming and playback are very similar to single-con-
troller mode. Table 6 summarizes the differences.
