LCD Menu Battery Operation
The LCD menu system utilizes a battery powered system for operation when the luminaire is not
connected to power. The primary purpose of this mode is to allow basic setup and configuration of the
luminaire.
To enable the battery operation of the menu system:
Step 1. Press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds.
Step 2. Once enabled, the menu will function as normal.
Note: Any commands that require full power (calibrate, lamp strike, etc.) will be ignored while the
menu system is in battery operation mode.
Step 3. To exit battery mode, press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds. Note, luminaire will
automatically exit this mode after one minute of inactivity .
Status Bar
The Status Bar (as illustrated in Figure 4-2 ) is present at all
times and displays luminaire operational information of the
luminaire. The Status Bar contains the following
information:
• LAMP – indicates current lamp state - ON or OFF.
• SHDN – indicates shutdown time in hours NO
indicates NO shutdown time.
• ERRORS – Displays a number indicating the total amount of current errors. When errors are
present, messages will appear in Red text. When no errors are present, NO will display.
• ADDR – Displays the current DMX address for the fixture. NOTE, when the fixture does not
detect a DMX input signal, the DMX address text will display in Red text.
LCD Menu Proximity Sensor
The LCD menu system uses a proximity sensor to automatically enable the menu display (turn on the
backlight) as you reach for the front panel. If the display is off, it will turn on when your hand is within
a few inches of the display.
Note, when the luminaire is not connected to power and the LCD menu is
operating on battery, this proximity sensor is disabled.
