Standalone Operation
To operate the HIPAR-100 in standalone (autonomous) mode, navigate to FAIL and select Master mode.
Sound-activated, Static colour, Auto, Fade & Strobe modes described above will operate without DMX control.
To control further HIPAR cans in master-slave mode, connect the DMX through from a master HIPAR-100 in standalone mode to the DMX input of a “slave” HIPAR can that is set to Slave mode under the FAIL menu.
Further HIPAR cans set to Slave mode may be connected from DMX through to DMX input in a daisy chain.
If the strobe setting is St01 - St99, a flashing strobe effect will be applied to the Auto program (slow to fast)
For custom static colours, adjusting the values of rxxx, 9xxx, bxxx, uxxx and Axxx gives a manual colour mix.
DMX Operation
The HIPAR-100 is compatible with standard DMX512 control.
Connect the supplied XLR plug to waterproof socket lead to the DMX input lead of the first HIPAR can in line to be controlled. Connect further HIPAR cans from the DMX through of the first can to the DMX input of the second can and DMX through of the second can to the DMX input of the third can etc. until all HIPAR cans are connected in a daisy-chain.
Connect the XLR plug to a DMX controller, ensuring that this connection is protected from the elements.
(the XLR plug is not a waterproof connector)
