Ensure the master unit slave mode 5Lnd is set as iRST and the controlled unit slave mode is set as 5L_1 or 5L_2. Connect DMX out from the master unit to the DMX in of the slave unit.

DMX mode:

The PB-7 can be control by DMX signal, simply connect the DMX signal source to the DMX in of the unit via a balanced XLR lead. Extra fixtures can be controlled by the same DMX signal by looping through the DMX out on the PB-7. Ensure the correct DMX start address is set from the Addr option on the manual control.
