17. TEST INC Set the test increment units to percent or hexadecimal.
The level for the dimmer test (DIM TEST) menu can be displayed as a percentage or
hexadecimal value.
PERCENT Press EXECUTE to toggle test increments from PERCENT to HEX VAL.
HEX VAL Press EXECUTE to toggle test increments from HEX VAL to PERCENT.
Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
18. L-BUTTON Set the mode of the 12 or 24 local buttons to scene, bump or disabled.
The DPC-12 is equipped with 12 local buttons/switches, while the DPC-24 is
equipped with 24 local buttons/switches. The mode for the local buttons can be
configured for “BUMP”, “SCENE” or “DISABLED”.
Setting the local buttons for “BUMP” mode (factory default setting) enables the
use of the local buttons as bump buttons. When a bump button is pressed, the
corresponding dimmer output toggles (alternate action, push on/push off) between
full on and off. If DMX is being received or DMX status hold is active on that channel,
the dimmer output level is HTP (Highest Takes Precedence). For example, if DMX
is received on channel 1 at 50%, bump button 1 toggles the dimmer output level
between 50% and full on. For a 6 dimmer circuit CD80 pack, bump button 1 controls
dimmer 1, bump button 3 controls dimmer 2, bump button 5 controls dimmer 3, bump
button 7 controls dimmer 4, bump button 9 controls dimmer 5 and bump button 11
controls dimmer 6.
Setting the local buttons for “SCENE” mode puts the system in scene mode. With
scene mode enabled the selected scene will always automatically be activated when
DMX is not being received or when DMX status hold is not active. The local buttons
are used to select a scene from 1 to 12 or 24.
When the local buttons are “DISABLED”, nothing happens when a button is pressed.
The local buttons are backlit with blue LED’s. The LED’s indicate the approximate
control level for each of the 12 or 24 dimmers. As the control level for a dimmer is
increased, the intensity of the LED increases.
BUMP Press EXECUTE to toggle the operation of the local buttons to bump mode.
SCENE Press EXECUTE to toggle the operation of the local buttons to scene mode.
DISABLED Press EXECUTE to toggle the operation of the local buttons to disabled.
Any change in the configuration is automatically saved.
19. Ø-PATCH Set the zero-cross phase reference for each dimmer control output circuit.
The defaults (DEFAULTS) menu is normally used to configure the phase patch for
DPC-12 and DPC-24 control modules. This menu provides custom phase patching for
non-standard applications.
If a dimmer control output is patched to the incorrect phase reference, the dimmer will
not dim correctly and will go to full output at around 1% DMX input.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and configure the dimmer phase patch.
CH 01 ØA Displays the dimmer output channel (CH 01) and patched phase (ØA).
CH 24 ØC Press MENU ( ) to change the dimmer output channel to patch from 01 to 12 or 24.
CH 24 ØA Press EXECUTE to toggle the patch to Phase A (ØA).
CH 24 ØB Press EXECUTE to toggle the patch to Phase B (ØB).
CH 24 ØC Press EXECUTE to toggle the patch to Phase C (ØC).
Press ESCAPE to exit the menu and save the desired settings.
Press RESET to exit the menu without saving.
The menu will automatically timeout after 2 minutes of inactivity and save.
