This guide explains how to configure multiple Groovetube fixtures so they can all be controlled by a single remote. In this setup, one Groovetube acts as the Master, and all other fixtures are set as Slaves.
The Slave units automatically mirror the Master’s settings, except for Step 3 and Step 5, which are configured differently for each type.
- For the Master: Follow all steps exactly as written for the Master unit.
- For the Slaves: Set Master/Slave to Slave and IR to OFF.
When configured correctly, each Slave fixture will display a blinking green LED, confirming synchronization with the Master.
Master unit setup (Master only)
- Power on the Master Groovetube.
- Press the Menu button until Address appears.

- Use the Up and Down buttons to select On, then press Enter.
- Continue pressing the Menu button until Address 001 is displayed and the tube light turns off.
Slave unit setup (Slave units only)
- Power on the Slave Groovetube.
- Press the Menu button until Address appears.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to select Address 001, then press Enter.
- Press the Menu button until Channel appears.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to select 160CH, then press Enter.

Final synchronization and confirmation
Aim the IR remote at the Master unit and select a static color. All synced Groovetubes should illuminate identically.
- Master: Displays a solid red LED next to the screen.
- Slaves: Display a blinking green LED indicating successful synchronization.
You may now use the remote to control all synchronized Groovetube fixtures simultaneously.
