Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Spot 360X IP product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Intimidator Spot 360X IP products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in standalone mode, while 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:

Press
.
Use or to select Run Mode.
Press .
Use or to select Slave.
Press .
Use or to select from Slave1, Slave2, Slave3, or Slave4.

Press .
Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

Set the master product to operate in standalone mode.
Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
• Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
• Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
• Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

Maintenance

Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean the lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

Unplug the product from power.
Wait until the product is at room temperature.
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because it they could be damaged.
