LEAF SPINNER: How To Set Up Master / Slave Mode

Introduction:

In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the Master Slave function with your Leaf Spinner Lights to control multiple lights simultaneously. This function allows one light (the Master) to control the behavior of the others (the Slaves) without needing a DMX controller for each light. Follow these simple steps to get your lighting setup running in sync.

Requirements:

• Rockville Leaf Spinner Lights
• DMX cables (included with your lights)

2. Plug the male end into the DMX out port on the Master light.
3. Plug the female end into the DMX in port on a Slave light.

   • Take another DMX cable.
   • Plug the male end into the DMX out on the previous Slave light.
   • Plug the female end into the DMX in on the next Slave light.
   • Continue this process for each additional Slave light.
