Master/slave operation
A SURGE fixture operating in one of the standalone modes may be connected
by DMX lead (6, 7) to control further SURGE units by setting subsequent units
to DMX address
In this mode, the slave SURGE units will mimic the master SURGE working in
standalone mode.
DMX operation
The SURGE functions can be controlled by DMX signal by connecting DMX leads
from the controller to the DMX input (6) and linking onto further units from
the DMX output (7) using suitable XLR leads. In order to access the full DMX
functions, the DMX start address will need to be set on the control panel.
When the display shows “600”, this means that the SURGE is operated starting
from the DMX address
1. When the display shows “6203”, this means that the SURGE is operated
starting from DMX address 203. The start address can be anywhere between 001
and 512.
There are 9 DMX channels – which are detailed on the following pages.
