Control Interface Operation
The Control Interface is normally LOCKED.
To UNLOCK, touch ESC and OK together for 5 seconds.
You are now in the CONTROL MENU
Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down the menu.
Use OK, to enter a menu item, then the arrow keys to set
the item parameter, or to scroll to the next menu level.
Use ESC to back up a level, and OK to confirm settings.
CONTROL MENU
DMX SET (if DMX/RDM mode 2 or 3 is selected)
Select a DMX starting address in the range 001 to 510
1 – Lamp Relay
In RDM Mode 3 an addition two slots are required
2 – Fan Relay
3 – Heater Relay
Note that the DMX control is designed using a SAFETY pile-on Logic. In other words, 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.
The DMX SET menu can be ignored if the DEC3 is in Standalone or DMX/RDM Mode 1 (RDM
Monitor) mode.
SET LAMP HOURS TO 0
The lamp hour counter needs to be reset each time you change the lamp in the
fixture/projector. Make this a part of your maintenance instructions.
STATUS DISPLAY
View Temperature (in Celsius) and Relative Humidity (in %) inside the enclosure. Note that
in Tornado moving light enclosures the temp/humidity sensor is located in the exhaust
airflow, which may be significantly warmer than ambient.
HUMIDITY SET
The humidity level above which the heater kicks in to remove humidity from incoming air
(default 80%, permissible range 50-90%). This setting should not normally be changed.
TEMP SET
Set three temperature trigger points for Top, Cutoff and Bottom temperatures.
TOP TEMP
The desired upper temperature limit for normal operation
(default 40°C, permissible range 35-45°C).
When the DEC3 sees air above this temperature, but below the additional Cutoff
temperature (see below), it indicates a temperature error. This is not dangerous, but may
reduce lamp life.

Depending on the Operating Mode
selected, and present status, DEC3’s
display shows you temperature,
humidity, DMX address and a
selection of error and status
messages.
