Operation

Master/Slave

The Master/Slave mode allows a group of STRIKE P38 products (the slaves) to simultaneously duplicate

the output of another STRIKE P38 (the master) without a DMX controller. To set each of the slaves:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.

2. Select Slave.

To set the master:

1. Go to the Master/Slave main level.

2. Select Master.

3. Select a static setting.

Dimmer Profiles

This setting determines how fast the output of the STRIKE P38 changes when you modify the output value.

This setting provides four different options to simulate the dimming curve of an incandescent lighting product.

1. Go to the Dimmer Mode main level.

2. Select a dimmer curve (Off, Dimmer 1, Dimmer 2, or Dimmer 3).

LED Frequency

This option changes the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency of the LEDs on the STRIKE P38.

1. Go to the LED Frequency main level.

2. Select PWM Frequency (600Hz, 1200Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz, 6000Hz, or 25Khz).

Back Light

This setting allows for selection of the amount of time the backlight on the STRIKE P38’s display stays on

after the last button is pressed on the control panel.

1. Go to the Back Light main level.

2. Select On (remains on), 10S (10 seconds), 20S (20 seconds), or 30S (seconds).

System Information

This option displays the total number of hours the product has run, the installed software version, and the

product’s UID.

1. Go to the Information main level.

2. Select Fixture Hours, Version, or UID.

Factory Reset

This option restores the STRIKE P38 to factory default settings.

1. Go to the Reset Factory main level.

2. Select No or Yes.

• The master is the one that runs a program whether in Auto or Static mode.

• Do not connect a DMX controller to the products configured for Master/Slave operation.

The DMX controller may interfere with signals from the master.

• The master should be the first product in the daisy chain.

Off: The output is proportional (linear) to the dimmer channel value.

Dimmer 1-3: The output follows the dimmer value based on the corresponding dimmer

curve, DIM1 being the fastest.
