godboy Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I have some of the old style datamoons with jack plugs on and can't find any manuals online for these older models. I wish to know the dip switch settings for master and slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsabre Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 http://www.njd.co.uk/technical/354.pdf That's for the newer ones which were somewhat more sophisticated... I am pretty sure the original ones did not have a master-slave function. They barely worked on DMX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 NO! The TRS DMX ones used the TRS itself to switch functions. TRS in the input socket and it listened for DMX, NO TRS in the input and it sent signals to subsequent slaves. TRS in the output socket and it sent DMX onward, NO TRS and it switched in the terminator resistor. SO 4 TRS datamoons with three leads and the first (in DMX wiring order) with only a TRS in the output sends programme to the rest of the datamoons. They are four channel DMX and they contain a pattern played on four lanterns. So in lantern number order nos 1, 2, 3, and 4 lanterns play a pattern in S-L mode, then 5, 6, 7,& 8 play the pattern with X reversed, 9, - 12 play the pattern with Y reversed and lanterns 13 - 16 play the pattern with X & Y reversed. This makes contra rotating patterns possible. Please use ONLY good quality TRS jacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godboy Posted June 26, 2012 Author Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks for your help guys. I found it really helpful. I worked it out from what you said. For some reason the one I was using as master would only work as slave. It was really the dip switch settings I was after but I guessed them once I realized the fault. I will post the dip switch settings later for other peoples future reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 There are some in the store that may still work, the only fault I ever had was an on board microphone dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
