Dotz Par Universal DMX Control
Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control
the chases and patterns, dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique pro-
grams tailored to your individual needs. The Dotz Par has 4 DMX channel modes: a 3 Channel Mode,
4 Channel Mode, 5 Channel Mode, & 9 Channel Mode. See the Channel Mode sections of this man-
ual for details.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s traits with a standard DMX 512
controller.
2. To run your fixture in DMX mode, follow directions in the System Menu section of this manual to
set your DMX address and DMX Channel mode.
3. Plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller.
4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.
Dotz Par Primary-Secondary Configuration
Primary-Secondary Operation: This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and oper-
ate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In Primary-Secondary operation, one unit
will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can
act as a Primary or as a Secondary.
Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear
of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the
output. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only, and the last unit in
the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the
last fixture.
On the Primary unit, set your desired operating mode.
On the secondary units, press the MODE button until “Secd” is displayed.
The secondary units will now follow the primary unit.
