To use a Fader:
1. Adjust the Remote so your lights are producing the output you wish to fade

to. Then press and hold the desired Fader preset button until the power
light (top left) starts blinking. Release the Fader preset button.

2. Adjust the fade or transition time by pressing and holding the desired Fader

preset button and moving the top thumbwheel (labeled Hue) until the
desired fade time (1-10 seconds) appears on the display.

3. Adjust the Remote so your lights are producing the output you wish to fade

from. Press and release the desired Fader preset button, and the lights will
smoothly fade to the preset you defined earlier.


Tip: To quickly save and recall colors you wish to fade from, use the Preset
functionality of the Remote. This operates the same as Presets on a Z90.
Simply push and hold the P1 or P2 button to save a color. Then, after fading to
your new setting, recalling your original setting is as easy as pushing and
releasing the P1 or P2 button.

Faders are independently set in each of the Z90’s three modes, as indicated by
the Mode indicators: White Mode, Gel (or Variable Color Temperature) Mode,
and Color Mode. Therefore, there are two Fader Presets for each of the three
modes. Please Note: You cannot fade from one mode to another.

Fader Example

Example: Fade a Z90 from 5800k to 4200k over 3 seconds

Steps:
1. Set up a Z90 in ZyLink mode on channel 1 by pressing and holding the

Z90’s bottom rocker switch until the “ZYLINK” light turns on. Then
repeatedly press and release the Z90’s bottom rocker switch on the Z90
until the display reads CH 1.

2. Set the Remote to channel 1 by repeatedly pressing and releasing the

Remote’s bottom rocker switch until the display reads CH 1. The Z90
should now respond to control from the Remote. If the Z90 is not lit at this
time, turn on the light with the Power button on the Remote (top left).

3. Put the Z90 in Gel mode by holding the top rocker switch on the Remote

until the “MODE” light indicates “G”.

4. Choose 4200k by adjusting the top thumbwheel on the Remote.
5. Press and hold the Fader 1 button until the power light on the Remote

blinks. This will save 4200k as the destination output of Fader 1.

6. Press and hold the Fader 1 button while adjusting the top thumbwheel on

the Remote to choose the fade time of Fader 1. For this example, set the
display to read “3 s”, indicating a 3 second fade time.

7. Choose 5800k by adjusting the top thumbwheel on the Remote. This will

be the output you are fading from.

8. To execute the fade, press and release the Fader Preset 1 button. The Z90

will fade smoothly from 5800k to 4200k over 3 seconds.
