Stand-alone operation
” on page 3 before attempting to
operate this product!
In stand-alone operation, the Cyclo IP65 Directional can run light shows without a DMX controller. Luminaires can be programmed to change colors in cycles. Changes can be programmed at 1, 5, 10 or 30 second intervals.
Two stand-alone operation modes are available: • In
single stand-alone operation
, luminaires run independently of each other. No data link is required.
• In
master/slave stand-alone operation
, luminaires must be linked with a

luminaires is triggered by one “master” luminaire. In both single and master/slave stand-alone operation, luminaires are programmed by setting the pins on the DIP switch on the circuit board as shown in the following table. 7 8 9 10

Activating tubes
DIP switch pins 1 to 3 (03 models) or 1 to 4 (04 models) activate tubes in the stand-alone program.
Setting program speed
Combinations of DIP switch pins 5 and 6 allow one of four different speeds to be set.
Note that the speed of color changes affects tube life (see “
Fluorescent tube lifetimes and performance
Fading between colors
If DIP switch pin 7 is set to OFF (blackout fading), colors fade to almost blackout before the next color fades in.
If DIP switch pin 7 is set to ON (crossfading), color fading overlaps. If two or more colors are active, one color fades in while another is fading out, giving a color mixing effect. For example, if red and blue are activated and crossfading is selected, colors will crossfade from red through purple to blue, then back through purple to red in a continuous cycle (see example).

Cyclo IP65 Directional user manual
In single stand-alone operation, a luminaire runs its own program independently of all other luminaires. To do this, the luminaire must be set as a master.
Activating single stand-alone operation
To activate single stand-alone operation: 1. Set DIP switch pin 10 to ON (switches from DMX to stand-alone mode).
2. Set DIP switch pin 9 to OFF (activates master mode).
3. Set DIP switch pin 8 to OFF (activates stand-alone mode)
4. Program the luminaire using DIP switch pins 1 - 7 (see table on page 29).
Important!
Do not set more than one luminaire on a data link as master, and do not set a luminaire as master on a data link with a DMX controller. Doing so may cause damage to the electronics that is not covered by the product warranty.
In master/slave stand-alone operation, one master luminaire transmits a synchronizing signal to slave luminaires over the data link each time it starts a new action. Slave luminaires start their next programmed action when they receive this signal from the master luminaire. Programs can be identical on all luminaires, or luminaires can – subject to certain practical constraints – run programs that are synchronized but not identical.
Note that each luminaire follows the program set on its own DIP switch as
described in the table on page 29.
Note also that colors are always displayed in the order: white → red → green → blue.
This means for example that if white is activated, it will always be first in the program. If white is not activated but red is activated, red will be first in the program.
More sophisticated light shows can be programmed using a DMX controller
The synchronization signal used by the Cyclo IP65 Directional is identical to that used in other Cyclo luminaires with the same number of tubes, allowing these products to be combined in master/slave operation on one data link. However, Cyclos with different numbers of tubes cannot be mixed in master-

slave operation. Consult your Martin Architectural supplier if you need advice on combining and controlling products.
Identical light shows
Master and slave luminaires can be set to behave identically. In this mode, the master sends synchronizing signals to the slaves, and all luminaires run the same light show. Each slave luminaire follows the program set on its own DIP switch, so for identical operation, all luminaires’ DIP switch settings must be the same apart from pin 9, which is set to ON for slaves and OFF for the master.
Synchronized non-identical light shows
It is also possible to synchronize changes but program slave luminaires to behave differently from the master. To use this feature effectively, you need to plan your light show using
scenes
as building blocks and set the luminaires’ DIP switches accordingly.
A scene is a change from one output to another. When a luminaire is in slave mode, it starts a scene when it receives a synchronization signal from the master. The time taken by the scene is determined by the speed setting of the DIP switch. A slave will not respond to new synchronization signals until its scene is complete.
When crossfading is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only). When blackout fading is selected, each color takes up two scenes (fade in and fade out). This means that the maximum number of scenes that can be programmed is twice the number of tubes installed, with all tubes activated and blackout fading selected.
Each time the master luminaire starts at scene 1, it sends a signal to all the slave luminaires to start at scene 1. This means that if a slave luminaire has: 1. Fewer scenes than the master luminaire, it will run these in a cycle until the master luminaire signals that the program should start from the beginning again.
2. More scenes than the master, the additional scenes will never run, because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts its program from the beginning.
Here is an example of what will happen when a slave luminaire has fewer scenes than the master luminaire:

Program examples
The following examples of programs show how an individual luminaire’s program is made up of scenes.
The following symbols are used in program diagrams: Tube turned fully off Fade in Fade out Fade to 50% and back to 100% in one scene (applies when only one color is active and crossfading is selected)
Example 1
DIP switch 7 is set to ON (crossfading) and only red is activated: Red Scene 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Example 2
DIP switch 7 is set to OFF (blackout fading) and only red is activated: Red Scene 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 1 2

Activating master/slave stand-alone operation
To activate master/slave stand-alone operation: 1. Isolate all luminaires from power.
2. Set all luminaires as slaves and enable stand-alone mode by setting DIP switch pins 9 and 10 to ON and pin 8 to OFF.
3. Decide which luminaire to use as master and set this luminaire’s DIP switch pin 9 to OFF. Note that any luminaire can be set as master, but you will obtain the most reliable data signal by either setting the first luminaire on the link as master or using 120 Ohm resistors to terminate
both
ends.
4. When power is applied, slave luminaires will go to the next scene in their program each time the master goes to its next scene. Slave luminaires will also start scene 1 of their programs each time the master starts scene 1 of its program.
