5. SNAPSHOT Record DMX levels into the backup scenes.
Provides a quick and easy way to save control channel levels into each of the 01 to
06 backup scenes using a DMX source.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and activate snapshot mode.
SAVE >01 Press MENU ( ) to select a different scene from 01 to 06.
SCENE>06 Press EXECUTE to store DMX levels in the selected scene.
SURE ??? Press EXECUTE if you are sure the DMX levels are set as intended.
DONE !!! DMX levels have now been saved in the selected scene.
NO RX! DMX is not being received on either input, so a snapshot is not possible.
Press ESCAPE to back-up within the menu, or exit/deactivate snapshot mode.
Press RESET to exit/deactivate snapshot mode.
6. DIM TEST Test the dimmer outputs one at a time, or all at once.
A technician’s best friend! Used for troubleshooting the dimmer outputs and field
wiring to the load.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and activate dimmer test mode.
D 01L>00 Displays the active dimmer (D) and the test level (L).
D 01L>50 Press MENU ( ) to select the desired test level.
D 01L>FF Press ESCAPE to toggle the test level from full-on (FF) and off (00).
D>01L FF Press EXECUTE to toggle between the dimmer (D>) and the test level (L>).
D>ALL FF Press MENU ( ) to select the active dimmer from 01 to 06 or ALL.
Press ESCAPE or RESET to exit the menu.
The menu will automatically timeout after 2 minutes of inactivity.
7. MONITOR View the control level to each dimmer output.
The dimmer control level is displayed as a 9-bit value from 000 to 512. This menu
does not timeout automatically and will continue to monitor indefinitely.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and activate monitor mode.
D>01L000 Press MENU ( ) to select the dimmer (D) output to monitor from 01 to 06.
D>06L512 Display shows dimmer 06 has full-on control.
Press ESCAPE or RESET to exit the menu.
NOTE: The control level value will not reach 512 when voltage output limiting is
activated, or when regulation is enabled and the line voltage is greater than
118VAC for 120VAC operation or 236VAC for 240VAC operation.
8. DMX O/P Configure the on-board DMX protocol manager for offset or patch mode.
OFFSET mode is typically used for the majority of systems, and is the factory default.
OFFSET mode refers to the DMX start address, with each of the 6 dimmer (PWM)
outputs addressed sequentially from the DMX start address.
PATCH mode provides full flexibility for addressing each of the 6 dimmer (PWM)
outputs. Each of the 6 dimmer (PWM) outputs can be patched to (controlled from) any
DMX input channel from 001 to 512.
With DMX patch mode activated, any configuration within the ADDRESS and DC
PATCH menus is ignored, and the DMX patch configured within the DMX PAT menu
takes precedence.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and configure the DMX mode.
DISABLED This menu is disabled to help prevent inadvertent changes.
ENABLED Press and hold MENU ( ) and MENU ( ) at the same time for 4-5 seconds.
OFFSET Press EXECUTE to toggle the DMX mode from OFFSET to PATCH.
PATCH Press EXECUTE to toggle the DMX mode from PATCH to OFFSET.
Press ESCAPE or RESET to exit the menu.
Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
