Introduction
The Rockville RF Wedge PAR Lights allow you to synchronize multiple lights without needing a DMX controller using the Master-Slave function. This feature lets you control multiple lights with one master unit, making it perfect for DJs, parties, and stage performances. This guide will walk you through setting up Master/Slave mode, using the remote, setting up groups, and using DMX control.
A.) Select & Assign the Master Light
- Select one light as the Master.
- Set this light to Master mode using the red switch on the back.
B.) Assign the Slave Lights
- Set all other lights to Slave mode using the red switch on the back of each light.
C.) Setting Wireless Color Code
- On the Master light, select a Wireless DMX Color Code from the 7 options/channels:
- Red (selected in video)
- Green
- Yellow
- Blue
- Purple
- Cyan
- White
- Red (selected in video)
- Select the same Wireless DMX Color Code on all Slave lights.
- The Master light’s Wireless DMX Code light will flash, while the Slave lights’ DMX code lights stay solid—this means they are synced.
- Now, changing the mode or color on the Master light will automatically apply to all Slave lights.
Please Note: The remote cannot control Master/Slave mode directly—manual control is required on the Master light, unless Workaround Method(see next section) is used.
D.) Using the Remote to Control All Lights (Workaround Method)
If you want to use the remote to control all lights:
- Set the Master light to Slave Mode temporarily(so it can receive commands from the remote):
-
Slave Mode is set using the red switch on the back of the light.
- This will temporarily break sync between Master and Slave lights.
-
Slave Mode is set using the red switch on the back of the light.
- Use the remote to set colors or modes using the information provided in the next section.
- Once done, switch the Master light back to Master Mode—this will resync the Slave lights:
-
Master mode is set using the red switch on the back.
-
Master mode is set using the red switch on the back.

- Press the Mode button until you reach REN mode.
- Using the Up /Down buttons; select rEn1 or rEn2 as the RF Channel.
- Press Enter to confirm.
- Use the RF Remote to change colors, brightness, and effects.

F.) Creating Multiple Light Groups
You can set up independent groups of synced lights using different Wireless DMX Color Codes:
-
Group 1:
- Set one light to Master Mode using the red switch on the back.
- Set others in the group to Slave Mode using the red switch on the back of each light.
- On the Master light, select a Wireless DMX Color Code from the 7 options/channels:
- Red
- Green (selected in video)
- Yellow
- Blue
- Purple
- Cyan
- White
- Select the same Wireless DMX Color Code on the other lights in Group 1.
- The Master light’s Wireless DMX Code light will flash, while the Slave lights’ DMX code lights stay solid—this means they are synced.
- Now, changing the mode or color on the Master light will automatically apply to all Group 1 lights.
- Set one light to Master Mode using the red switch on the back.
-
Group 2:
- Set one light to Master Mode using the red switch on the back.
- Set others in the group to Slave Mode using the red switch on the back of each light.
- On the Master light, select a Wireless DMX Color Code from the 7 options/channels:
- Red (selected in video)
- Green
- Yellow
- Blue
- Purple
- Cyan
- White
- Red (selected in video)
- Select the same Wireless DMX Color Code on the other lights in Group 2.
- The Master light’s Wireless DMX Code light will flash, while the Slave lights’ DMX code lights stay solid—this means they are synced.
- Now, changing the mode or color on the Master light will automatically apply to all Group 2 lights.
- Set one light to Master Mode using the red switch on the back.
Now, each group operates independently, allowing different effects like pulse mode on one group and strobe on another.
G.) Using DMX Cables for Wired Syncing
Wired Master/Slave Setup:
3-Pin DMX Cable (1 per Slave Light) required for this.
- Select one light as the Master.
- Connect a DMX cable from the DMX OUT on the Master light to the DMX IN on the first Slave light.
- For additional Slave lights; connect the DMX OUT of the previous connected Slave light to the DMX IN another RF Wedge light.
- Repeat the previous step for additional RF Wedge Slave Lights..
Wired Master/Slave Setup:
- Set the Master light to Master mode using the red switch on the back.
- Set all other lights to Slave mode using the red switch on the back of each light.
Control Options with DMX Cables:
- Manual Control: Set the Master light to Master mode and adjust settings.
- Remote Control: Set the Master light to RF mode, then use the remote to control all connected lights.
Conclusion
The Master/Slave function allows you to easily sync and control multiple Rockville RF Wedge PAR Lights without needing a DMX controller. Whether using manual settings, the remote workaround, or DMX cables, this setup gives you flexibility and professional lighting effects for any event.
