Master/Slave Mode

This mode allows a single Orb™ unit (the “master”) to control the actions of one or

more Orb™ units (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master unit

will be set to operate in either Automatic or Sound Active mode, while the slave units

will be set to operate in Slave Mode. Once set and connected, the slave units will

operate in unison with the master unit.

Configure the units as indicated below.

Slave units:

1) Set DIP switch [10] to the ON position.

2) Set the DMX address to “001”, as previously explained.

3) Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.

4) Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the

previous slave unit.

5) Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.

Master unit:

1) Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound mode, as previously

indicated.

2) Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.

 Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the DMX

daisy chain.

 Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave

operation because it may interfere with the signals from the master unit.

 Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
