WET PAR PRO: How To Set Up Master / Slave Mode

Introduction

If you want to control multiple Rockville Wet PAR Pro Outdoor Wash Lights without using a DMX controller, you can use the Master-Slave function. This allows one light (Master) to control the rest (Slaves), keeping them perfectly synchronized.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through connecting and configuring your lights for Master-Slave operation.

What You’ll Need

• Rockville Wet PAR Pro Outdoor Wash Lights
• DMX Cables (Weather-resistant cables recommended for outdoor use)
• Included Wireless Remote (for easier setup)

Step 1: Connecting the Lights

1. Choose your Master Light – This is the light that will control all others.
2. Take a DMX cable and:
   • Plug the male end into the DMX Out port of the Master Light.
   • Plug the other end into the DMX In port of the first Slave Light.
3. For additional lights, repeat this process:
   • Connect a new DMX cable from the DMX Out port of the previous Slave to the DMX In port of the next light.
   • Continue chaining lights together.

Step 2: Setting the Master-Slave Mode

Using the Included Remote

1. Point the remote at the Master Light.
2. Set the Master Light to Master Mode.
3. Point the remote at each Slave Light and set them to Slave Mode.

Manually Setting Slave Lights

Alternatively, you can manually set all Slave lights to the same DMX address:

1. Go to the settings menu on each Slave light.
2. Set them to the same DMX address (e.g., A001).
3. Press Enter to confirm.

Step 3: Controlling the Lights

• Once the setup is complete, any changes made to the Master Light will automatically sync to the Slaves.
• You can control:
  • Color modes
  • Strobe effects
  • Auto programs
  • Sound-activated modes
• Use the remote to adjust settings on the Master, and the Slaves will follow.

Step 4: Preventing Sync Issues

To prevent Slaves from going out of sync, turn off IRCL (Infrared Control) on all Slave lights. This ensures only the Master light receives remote commands.

Conclusion

Setting up the Master-Slave function on your Rockville Wet PAR Pro Outdoor Wash Lights is simple and efficient. This allows you to control multiple lights without needing a DMX controller, keeping them perfectly in sync for a seamless lighting experience.
