The Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 has an auto-ranging power supply, and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

• Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

• To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of nonuse completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Operation

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in Standalone, whereas the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product. Configure the products as indicated below.

Slave products:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until D-Fi Setting shows on the display. Press <ENTER>.

2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select D-Fi Mode. Press <ENTER>.

3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Receive. Press <ENTER>.

4. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Slave Setting shows on the display. Press <ENTER>.

5. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the slave unit(s), from Slave1–4. Press <ENTER>.

6. Set the DMX address to 001.

7. Set the D-Fi to receive a specific channel, CH01–CH16.

8. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode.

2. Set the D-Fi to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.

• For more information on how to activate the Freedom Flex H9 IP X6 built-in D-Fi, see D-Fi Setting.

• All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.

• Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.

• Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
