Control is provided by the first unit which must be set to master mode. To set a unit as master, please refer to ‘Initial Set up’ at the beginning of this section. For the remaining cans there are four slave modes available, , , , and . The selected mode determines the can’s function.  will mimic exactly what the master is displaying.  will show the 2nd stage of a chase program.  will show the 3rd stage of a chase program and  the 4th. DMX mode To control PAR cans via DMX, connect a DMX controller to the DMX IN socket of the unit via a balanced XLR lead. Extra fixtures can be controlled by the same DMX controller by connecting the DMX OUT of the first to the DMX IN of the second via another XLR lead and so on. The unit can be used as a 3-channel fixture to give basic RGB (red, green, blue) control or as 7-channel which will give the controller access to built-in functions such as auto programs and sound activation. Setting the number of DMX channels • Press MENU repeatedly until the display shows  (refer to appendix 1) followed by ENTER.
