Test Mode with Custom Static Colour
The test mode allows you to use the device in a fixed mode with a custom colour. You can define the colour,
pan and tilt positions, and zoom. You can also dim the colour using DMX channel 6.
To set up the test mode:
1. Press [Test Mode] and set the following options:
o [PAN]: set the pan position (0-255).
o [TILT]: set the tilt position (0-255).
o [FOCUS]: set the zoom factor (0-255) for a broad (0) or narrow (255) beam of light.
o [RED]: set the brightness of the red LEDs (0-255).
o [GREEN]: set the brightness of the green LEDs (0-255).
o [BLUE]: set the brightness of the blue LEDs (0-255).
o [WHITE]: set the brightness of the white LEDs (0-255).
2. To dim this colour using DMX control, set channel 1 to 255; channels 2-5 to 0; and then use channel 6 to
set the dimmer.
Note: If you want to define the static colour using DMX channels 2-5, make sure to set channel 6 back to 0.
