35 Echo ACP Configuration Manual
Module Type
Module type allows you to quickly set all dimmers in the DRd rack to a single type. Available
modules are determined by the voltage which is automatically determined at power up.
Reference Dimmer Specifications, page 62 for dimmer module property defaults.
• For a 100-130 V AC dimmer rack, the default is a D20 dimmer module.
• For a 230-240V AC dimmer rack, the default is an ED15 dimmer module.
• For a 277V AC dimmer rack, the default is an AD20 dimmer module.
Step 1: Use the touch wheel to scroll to “Module Type”, press enter ( ). The module
type menu list displays for selection.
Step 2: Use the touch wheel to scroll the module type list, press enter ( ) to make your
selection.
Step 3: Use the touch wheel to scroll to the next setup option or scroll to “Apply Changes
Only” or “Apply All”. Press enter (
) to select.
Balance
This setting is automatically defaulted to “Straight”. Other settings include “3 Phase Bal” or
“1 Phase Bal”.
Step 1: Use the touch wheel to scroll to “Balance”, press enter ( ) repeatedly to cycle
through the available options.
Step 2: When the desired value is displayed, use the touch wheel to scroll to the next
setup option or scroll to “Apply Changes Only” or “Apply All”. Press enter (
) to
select.
DMX Start Address
This setting is automatically defaulted to “1”. The start address corresponds to the first
address you wish to patch DRd dimmers in the enclosure. When using the “DMX Start
Addr” setting, addresses may range from 1 to 501 depending on the type of dimmer rack.
The highest DMX address for any dimmer allowed is 512.
A universe of DMX is a group of 512 contiguous control channels. When using the “DMX
Start Address” menu feature, addresses may start at one or any number up to 512 minus
the number of dimmers in the enclosure, depending on the type of enclosure(s) you are
programming.
Step 1: Use the touch wheel to scroll to “DMX Start Addr” and press enter ( ) to select.
Step 2: Use the touch wheel to scroll or use the numeric button pad to specify a start
address. Press enter (
) to select.
Step 3: Use the touch wheel to scroll to the next setup option or scroll to “Apply Changes
Only” or “Apply All”. Press enter (
) to select.
N o t e : Un-editable dimmers, such as the CC20 module, are not assigned addresses in
this operation.
Dimmer doubled dimmers are, by default, applied a default +256 address offset.
When this results in an address greater than 512, the address for the “B” side of
the dimmer is set to equal the “A” side of the dimmer.
High resolution dimmers are applied a default +1 address offset.
N o t e : If the selected start address doesn’t allow for unique addresses for each dimmer
in the enclosure (for example a DRd6 with a start address of 506), the dimmers
outside of the allowable range of 512 will remain un-patched.
