8.2.8 Voltage regulation is not operating
properly
The PowerModule uses a relative measurement of
mains voltage in the general operation of the
dimmer circuit, in the status reporting system, fault
detection and reporting, and output voltage
compensation. For accurate measurement and
operation, the incoming mains supply voltage at
the dimmer is calibrated at the factory. If this
calibration is wrong, the voltage-related
parameters will be affected. The solution is to
recalibrate the PowerModule.
Note: IMPORTANT. This set-up procedure
may only be carried out by a qualified
electrical engineer as it involves an
accurate measurement of the mains
supply.
8.2.9 To calibrate line voltage
This requires a true RMS digital voltmeter, and a
safe means of connecting the voltmeter to the
dimmer’s supply. If the mains supply is known to
have a high impedance, it is advisable to take the
measurement under normal operating loads so
that voltage drop in the supply can be
accommodated in the measurement.
1. Measure the voltage of the
PowerModule power supply.
2. Press INST.
3. Press Ð or Ï to choose
CALL.VOLTAGE menu. Press ENT.
4. The screen shows:
SERV CODE ????
ENTER ↵ ЕЗИЖ
5.Enter the service password. Press Ï to
set the digit and press Î to enter the
other digits. The screen now shows:
L-1 L-2 L-3
[242] --- ---
Note: The screen shows L-1, L-2 and L-3 for
the three-phase PM6 PowerModule.
5. Press Ð and Ï to adjust the voltage to
match the voltage measured at the
supply. Continue with the other two
phases in the case of the PM6.
6. Press ENT to leave the menu and
record the changes or EXIT (to leave
the previous settings unchanged).
9. Ethernet module
9.1 Introduction
The Ethernet module supports virtual connections
using the Compulite protocol and offers a wide
range of settings. The DMX address structure is
multilayered and based on the Avab protocol:
there are ten logical networks (0-9), each with 32
DMX universes (1-32), and each universe has
512 DMX channels (1-512). It is normally
advisable to use only one logical network per
auditorium, to simplify the system.
DMX universes
Each Ethernet dimmer module supports an A and
a B DMX universe. The A universe is used for the
internal dimmers (and any dimmers connected to
the DMX-A Through output) and the B universe is
used for equipment connected to the DMX-B
output (e.g. scrollers, motorised yokes, etc.).
However, if required A and B could be set to the
same universe.
Non-Ethernet operation
If the module does not receive Ethernet data it will
respond to the data received on the DMX-A input
which is also sent to the DMX-A Through output.
(If both the Ethernet and the DMX-A input receive
data the module will only respond to the Ethernet
data.)
Please note that you will need to be familiar with
your lightboard, the network at your site and basic
networking concepts to make the settings
effectively. Setting the universe for each channel
(where required) is discussed in section 6.5.3 (To
set up DMX universes).
Ethernet settings
The following Ethernet settings are available:
- IP address: this is unique to each module, and
should be selected in consultation with your
network manager. In this example we will use
172.22.4.10.
- Subnet mask: leave at the default value of
255.255.0.0.
- Gateway: leave at the default value of 0.0.0.0.
- Net/Universe A: used to select the logical
network (0-9) and universe (1-32) used for the
DMX-A signal (normally used for the internal
dimmers).
- Net/Universe B: as above, now for the DMX-B
signal (normally used for external equipment).
9.2 To set up the Ethernet options
The network structure and addressing scheme
should be designed in detail before setting the
Ethernet options, to ensure a smoothly working
system. This information should be carefully
archived as it will be needed in future when any
changes are made to the networked dimmer
system.
1. Press INST.
2. Press Ð or Ï to choose the
ETHERNET SETUP menu. Press ENT.
3. Press Ð or Ï to choose the IP
ADDRESS menu. Press ENT.
