UNIVERSAL DMX CONTROL: This unit allows you to use any universal DMX-512 controller to control master
dimmer, RGB colors, effects and effect speed, and the strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique
programs tailored to your individual needs. Follow the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX
controller.

1. The TriDisc9 LED has an 6 channel mode and 8 channel mode.

2. To select your desired DMX mode please see the next page under “dn.pr”. Press the UP or DOWN but-
tons until “dn.pr” is displayed, then press ENTER. Select your desired DMX Channel Mode and press
ENTER.

3. After you have selected your desired DMX Channel Mode, press the UP or DOWN buttons until “A001” is
displayed, press ENTER.

4. Now use the UP or DOWN buttons to set your desired address and press ENTER. Connect your DMX
Controller.

5. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.

7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.

MASTER-SLAVE OPERATION: This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without
a controller. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the
controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.

1. This is a very simple process. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units together via
the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Fe­ male XLR connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. You do

not have to assign the units Master/Slave. They will automatically fall into Master/Slave mode when
connected.
