If the APS is OFF, the “Manual Off” button becomes “Manual On”. Touching Manual On
starts the staggered power on sequence.
4.7 STAND ALONE
If the APS is not being remotely controlled (either by DMX presence or by a GPI contact
closure) then it can be set to “stand alone” mode by touching the Home Screen then
touching Stand Alone, Enable.
In standalone mode, the APS will automatically start its staggered switch on sequence
3 seconds after power is applied at the input.
4.7.1 Unit Number
If multiple APS units are to be operated in standalone mode, then you can prevent them from
all starting their starting their staggered switch on sequence at the same time by assigning a
different “unit number” to each APS. Each unit number adds an additional 12 second delay to
the start of the staggered switch on sequence.
 Unit 1 starts after 3 seconds.
 Unit 2 starts after 15 seconds.
 Unit 3 starts after 27 seconds etc.
In standalone mode, the stagger power on times of the output channels are fixed to ensure
that channels in different size APS units do not turn on at the same time.
 6 channel APS units have a fixed stagger time of 2 seconds.
 12 channel APS units have a fixed stagger time of 1 second.
 24 channel APS units (future release) have a fixed stagger time of 0.5 seconds.
