signals to the slaves. In Wireless DMX mode a lighting control board or D-Fi productmust send wireless DMX signals to the products.
To DMX-link a number of Freedom Par Quad-4 IP using wireless D-Fi, see D-Fi 2.4 GHz(DMX Mode Manual Sync).
Information about DMX is in the DMX Primer, which is available from the Chauvet
website www.chauvetlighting.com/download/.
To ensure full access to all channels in each DMX mode, the highest recommended
DMX address is 503.
Master/Slave mode allows a single Freedom Par Quad-4 IP (the master) to wirelessly
control the actions of one or more Freedom products (the slaves) without a DMX
controller.
The master will be set to operate in either an auto program, static color, or custom color
mixing mode, while the slaves will be set to operate in wireless DMX receiver mode.
Once set, the slaves will operate in unison with the master. Configure the units as
indicated below.
Slaves:1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until any DMX personality shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select drCH.
6. Press <ENTER>.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select a receiving channel dr 1–dr16.
8. Press <ENTER>.
9. Finish setting all the slaves.
Note: All slaves must be set to the same DMX personality and D-Fi channel.
Master:1. Press <MENU> until the DMX personality the slaves are set to shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
4. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S-tr shows on the display.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select dtCH.
6. Press <ENTER>.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to select the transmitting channel (dt 1–dt16) the slaves are
set to.
8. Press <ENTER>.
9. Set the master to run in auto program, static color, or custom color mixing mode.
Never transmit a DMX signal from a controller over a D-Fi channel being used for
Master/Slave.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels
the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you
could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
If unfamiliar with DMX, download the DMX Primer from www.chauvetlighting.com.
To select the DMX personality and starting address, do the following:
1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 3-CH (3-channel mode), 6-CH (6-channel mode) or
10CH (10-channel mode) shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> and d 1–d512 shows on the display.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
4. Press <ENTER>.

To add additional Freedom products, turn the synced ones off and repeat the above
steps with un-synced products. Once all products are synced, turn them all back on.
Auto scan syncing must be done within a distance of about 32 ft (10 m).
Manual syncing is recommended for best results when adding products after initialsystem setup.
If you are experiencing issues or need to improve signal quality, keep the line of sight
between products unobstructed.
Ensure that all linked products are configured to the same DMX personality.

Caution: D-Fi 2.4 GHz operation can be interrupted or inhibited by liquid masses between
the transmitter and receiver such as water, snow, or people. For best results, keep the lineof sight clear of any liquid mass.
