7.3 Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, the device can run:
•
in timer-controlled mode: produce haze in pre-defined time intervals. You can set the duration of the haze
output, the time in between outputs, and the output volume.
• in volume-controlled mode: produce haze continuously. You can set the output volume and the fan speed.
• in manual mode: manually produce haze while you press the <MANUAL> button. The output volume is
100 %.
Timer-Controlled Mode
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [3,10] of the device.
2. Press <FUNCTION> until <INTERVAL SET> is displayed.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the interval between two haze outputs (1 ~ 200 seconds).
4. Press <FUNCTION> until <DURATION SET> is displayed.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the duration of the haze output (1 ~ 200 seconds).
6. Press <FUNCTION> until <TIMER OUT> is displayed.
7. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the volume of the haze output (1 ~ 100 %).
8. Press <TIMER> to start timer-controlled operation.
9. To stop timer-controlled operation, press <TIMER> again.
Notes:
•
The device can produce continuous haze without reheating. When the interval between outputs comes to an
end, the device starts producing haze immediately.
• The timer settings are saved in the internal memory. The next time you plug in the device and press
<TIMER>, it will start in timer-controlled mode with the settings as specified for the previous use.
Volume-Controlled Mode
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [3,10] of the device.
2. Press <FUNCTION> until <VOLUME OUT> is displayed.
3. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the volume of the haze output (1 ~ 100 %).
4. Press <FUNCTION> until <FAN SPEED> is displayed.
5. Use <UP> and <DOWN> to set the fan speed (1 ~ 100 %).
6. Press <VOLUME> to start volume-controlled operation.
7. To stop volume-controlled operation, press <VOLUME> again.
Notes:
•
The device can produce continuous haze without reheating. Each time you press <VOLUME>, the device
starts producing haze immediately.
• The volume settings are saved in the internal memory. The next time you plug in the device and press
<VOLUME>, it will start in volume-controlled mode with the settings as specified for the previous use.
Manual Mode
1. Connect nothing to the DMX input [3,10] of the device.
2. Press and hold <MANUAL>. The device starts producing haze at 100%.
3. Release the <MANUAL> button to stop.
7.4 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the device by any universal DMX controller.
•
All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals.
This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX
controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can
be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular
channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you
set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of
one channel will only affect the device in question.
• In case of the 2-channel mode, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1 (CH1~2), the
second to 3 (1 + 2) (CH3~4), the third to 5 (3 + 2) (CH5~6), and so on. The highest start address is 511.
