This method utilizes a Master/Slave configuration to convert the analog signal to a digital signal, which is then relayed to the rest of the chain.

The analog signal must be connected to the first fixture, and this fixture must be the ‘Master’.

To enable this:

  • Enable Master/Slave mode as per ⮕ Master/Slave mode without an external controller, but set the first fixture as the Master,

  • Enable ‘Analog LED’ mode as per ⮕ Analog chaining using New Maxi Controller (SW version 3.3 or later), but only do this for the first fixture!

When an analog signal is detected, the master will be in 🟡 Analog “LED” Control mode. The rest of the chain, the slaves, will be in 🟣 Digital Control mode.

ℹ

When the first fixture has seen the analog signal, it will lock on to that signal. When the signal is stopped or interrupted, it goes into “Analog Lost” alarm.

When Slave fixtures have seen a Master’s signal, they will lock on to that signal. When the signal is stopped or interrupted, they go into “Digital Lost” alarm.
