4.0 DIMMER OPERATION
4.1 Front Panel Controls
Good product design generally relates to good user interface and providing a well laid out,
concise, easy-to-read control panel is the key. The design of the iPAK and iPRO dimmers
concentrated very heavily on this principle and the end result has produced an easy to use
control panel that allows very quick access to all functions and indicators that show the exact
status of the dimmers.
Following is a brief explanation of the switches and displays.
Channel Drive LEDs These 12 LEDs indicate the channel output status and will glow
proportionately to the level of output being generated. In SCENE mode, these LEDs are used to
build the desired output levels for the scene to be stored. When the scene is recalled these LEDs
will correspond to the output levels stored in memory.
Mode Select Button This button is used to alter the dimmer’s status by allowing the operator to
set the DMX512 address, drive individual channel at varying levels, create a scene to be stored
in memory and individually set different dimmer curves for each channel (iPRO only).
Mode Status Indicators These LEDs indicate which mode the dimmer is operating in.
Scroll Buttons These up and down buttons allow the operator to adjust the DMX512 address,
channel number and channel output level, in either a up (increment) or down (decrement)
direction.
Status Display The 3 digit display can indicate the current DMX512 address, channel number and
the channel output level. The output of the display is dependent on which mode the dimmer is
currently in. Under other conditions the display will also scroll prompt and error messages.
Data Indicators These two LEDs indicate good or bad data being received by the dimmer.
