WET PAR 50: How To Set Up Groups

Introduction

Grouping your Rockville WET PAR 50 PAR lights allows you to control multiple lights together while keeping different groups performing separate functions. This guide will show you how to set up two independent groups of lights using the Master-Slave function and remote control.

Step 1: Setting Up the First Group

1. Choose a Master Light for the first group.
2. Press the Menu button and navigate to the Master-Slave menu.
3. Press Enter and use the Up/Down buttons to select Master Mode.
4. Press Enter to save.

Configuring Slave Lights for Group 1

1. On the Slave Lights, go to the Master-Slave menu.
2. Press Enter and use the Up/Down buttons to select D512 (Slave Mode).
3. Press Enter to save.
4. Navigate to the U512 Menu and assign a DMX Code (U1 – U7).
   • Example: Set Group 1 to U7.

Step 2: Setting Up the Second Group

1. Choose a Master Light for the second group.
2. Follow the same steps as above but assign a different DMX Code.
   • Example: Set Group 2 to U1.

Step 3: Using the Remote to Control Groups

Once both groups are set up, you can control them with one remote by assigning each group to a different remote setting.

Assigning Remote Groups

1. For Group 1:
   • Go to Remote Settings and select REM1.
2. For Group 2:
   • Go to Remote Settings and select REM2.

Switching Between Groups on the Remote

1. Hold down the Brightness button on the remote.
2. The LED will flash once—keep holding until it flashes quickly.
3. This switches the remote to Group 1.
4. Repeat the steps to switch to Group 2.

Step 4: Understanding Remote Control Functions

• Brightness Buttons: Adjust brightness or switch between groups (hold to switch).
• On/Off Buttons: Turn lights on or off.
• Static Colors: Choose Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, or UV.
• Mode Buttons:
  • Sound Mode: Syncs lights to music.
  • Strobe Mode: Creates flashing effects.
  • Snap Mode: Instantly changes colors.
  • Fade Mode: Smoothly transitions between colors.
  • Auto Mode: Runs preset programs.
• Speed Control: Adjust the speed of effects using the brightness buttons.

Conclusion

With the Master-Slave function and remote control grouping, you can set up two independent light groups that respond differently while being controlled from a single remote.
