OFF – No DMX received (Basic Mode)

ON (RED) – DMX Fail

ON (GREEN) – Good DMX or RDM data packet received. Note that in Monitor Mode the DMX

indicator will only be green when RDM packets are being received. In this case a RED LED

is not indicating DMX failure, just that no data is being received from the RDM monitor.

Control Interface Operation

The Control Interface is normally LOCKED.

To UNLOCK, hold

ESC and OK together for 5 seconds.

You are now in the

CONTROL MENU

CONTROL MENU

SET DMX ADDRESS (in Monitor, DMX or Service modes)

Select a DMX starting address in the range 001 to 510

1 – Lamp Relay

In Service Mode an addition two slots are available

2 – Fan Relay

3 – Heater Relay

Note that the DMX control is designed using a SAFETY pile-on Logic. So the DMX input can

only override automatic settings in a safe manner. For example, if the enclosure has

switched off the lamp relay due to an over-temperature condition, the DMX input cannot

switch it on, if the fans are running because of Overtemp, the DMX input cannot turn

them off, and so on.

SET DMX MODE

From the Front Panel, this menu item allows the user to check (and if necessary change)

the RDM mode.
