Operating Instructions

Programming Scenes (Steps) into Chase Patterns:

This

function allows you to turn on specific channels (1-16) at one time to

be programmed into a Chase. This controller stores 60 CHASE PAT-

TERNS, 1-30 are user programmable and 31-60 are preset and cannot be

changed. You may program SCENES into CHASE PATTERNS 1-30 only.

To program a scene:

1. Press and hold down the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) for two

seconds. The green program LED will turn on indicating you are in

program mode.

2. At this point the display should read 01:01. The first two digits display

the CHASE bank and the second pair of digits displays the SCENE

bank.

3. Use these PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select a CHASE bank

to store the scenes you are about to create.

4. Once you have selected a CHASE bank, you may begin to adjust

the channels (1-16) to your liking.

5. Once you have adjusted the channels to your desired settings press

the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) once to record your scene into

memory. When you press the PROGRAM BUTTON (23), all the

channel LED’s will flash indicating the scene has been stored into

memory. The right two digits in the LCD DISPLAY (6) will advance

to the next available step.

6. You may continue this pattern up to 99 times per each CHASE

PATTERN. You may mix and match the top and bottom channel

buttons together in a CHASE PATTERN, however, remember that

the upper and lower channels chase speeds are controlled

separately.

7. When you have completed programming all your steps you must

record an “End Step” to finalize your CHASE PATTERN. To

program the “End Step,” press and hold down the SHIFT BUTTON

(16). While holding down the SHIFT BUTTON (16), press and

release the PROGRAM BUTTON (23). You will see all the LEDs

flash indicating the “End Step” was successfully programmed.

8. To exit the program mode, press and hold the PROGRAM

BUTTON for two (2) seconds.

Running Chase Patterns:

This function allows you to automati-

cally run one of the 60 CHASE PATTERNS. The speed of these chase’s

(6) will light indicating you are in CHASE MODE.

2. Use the PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select the CHASE PAT-

in minutes. Programs 31-40 control channels 1-8, 41-50 control channels
