ROCKWEDGE LED: How To Set Up & Use Master / Slave Mode

Introduction

The Master-Slave function allows multiple Rock Wedge LED Par Lights to sync together without needing a DMX controller. This feature is great for stage productions, DJ setups, and event lighting, ensuring all your lights match in color, effects, and sound modes.

This guide will show you how to:

• Set up a Master light
• Sync Slave lights wirelessly
• Control the setup with a remote
• Use a wired DMX connection for Master-Slave mode

Step 1: Powering On and Selecting a Master Light

1. Turn on all lights you want to sync.
2. Choose one light as the Master Light.
3. Press the Wireless DMX Code button on the Master Light.
4. Select a DMX code color (e.g., Red for this setup).

Step 2: Syncing the Slave Lights

1. On each Slave Light, press the Wireless DMX Code button.
2. Set the same DMX code color as the Master Light (Red in this example).
3. Confirmation:
   • Master Light flashes red
   • Slave Lights flash green

Step 3: Controlling Lights in Master-Slave Mode

Using the Remote

• Change colors: Select Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, or UV.
• Activate lighting effects: Choose from Auto, Strobe, Fade, or Sound Mode.
• Adjust effect speed: Use the Up/Down buttons on the remote.
• Turn lights on/off: Use the power button.

Using the Menu Button on the Master Light

• Navigate through static colors, effects, and sound activation modes.
• All Slave lights will mirror the Master light settings.

Avoid Sync Issues: If the remote only changes the Slave lights instead of all lights, disable IR control on all Slave lights.

Step 4: Using a DMX Cable for Master-Slave Sync

If you prefer a wired connection, follow these steps:

1. Take a DMX cable and plug the Male end into the DMX OUT of the Master Light.
2. Plug the other end into the DMX IN of the first Slave Light.
3. To add more Slave Lights, continue daisy-chaining using DMX cables.
4. Set all lights to the same DMX channel mode and DMX address (e.g., 10-channel mode, A001).
5. The Master Light controls all Slave Lights via the wired DMX connection.

Conclusion

The Master-Slave function makes it easy to synchronize multiple Rock Wedge LED Par Lights for a professional and unified lighting setup. Whether using wireless DMX or a wired DMX connection, this feature ensures that all lights work together seamlessly.

For simple setups, use the wireless remote to control effects. For larger setups, consider DMX cables for a more stable connection. Enjoy your Rock Wedge LED lights and take your lighting setup to the next level!
