efficient and super bright LEDs. The ST-4000RGB™ can operate in Stand-Alone, Master/Slave and
via DMX-512 control utilizing 5 channels.
Standalone Mode

controller in a standalone mode. It can be operated as a
single fixture or together with several other ST-4000RGB™

Option
Note: to set this fixture up with smooth standalone fade programs, you must use only
dipswitches 4-7. Dipswitch 4 activates the function, while the combination of dipswitches 5-
7 adjusts the fade time.
Single-Fixture Mode
The ST-4000RGB™ can be set to operate independently of other fixtures or a DMX controller in
either a sound-active or automatic mode. A serial data-link is not necessary for this mode of operation
and it is recommended that no connection to other fixtures be made at all.
1. Simply choose from any one of 11 built-in “DIP-switch Options” from the table below.
Master-Slave Mode
A master-slave mode setup consists of more than one fixture connected in a serial data link without
the use of a controller. In a master-slave operation the slave fixtures will synchronize and will behave
either identically or in a planned chase pattern to the master unit which must be the first in the serial
daisy chain. A Master-Slave ST-4000RGB™ system can consist of an unlimited range of fixtures or at
least the number stated to conform to EIA-485 standards.
Setup
1. The ST-4000RGB sets up automatically for Master-Slave, no DIP-switch settings are required
other than for selecting DIP-switch Options.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin
connector to the DMX IN input connector of the Slave fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin
connector. Continue the loop from DMX OUT to DMX IN.
