FEATURES
The I.Q.192 is a twelve channel lighting control console with standard DMX-512 output.
AMX-192 and 0 to +10VDC analog outputs are optional. A special hold mode gives it
the capabilites of a two scene console. The console has a grandmaster, two
submasters, and twelve channel sliders. It can softpatch up to 192 dimmers. There are
four modes of operation: play; hold; assign; and patch.
SET-UP AND CONNECTION
Proper connection of electronic lighting control equipment is very important. The I.Q.192
has been designed to make it as simple as possible. The I.Q.192
must be connected to
the dimmer pack through a control cable. The cable uses five pin XLR connectors for
standard DMX control. Four pin XLR and DB15 connectors are used on units with
optional AMX and 0 to +10VDC outputs. See page 7 for a hookup diagram.
In DMX and AMX systems, dimmer packs are hooked to the controller in series: the
cable runs from the controller to the first pack, from the first pack to the second pack,
and so on. In 0 to +10VDC systems, the cable may split and fan out to several packs.
The I.Q.192 requires a power input of +12 to +15VDC. This is usually made through a
power supply adapter included with the unit. Also it may be made through pin 13 of the
DB15 on units so equipped.
When the unit is properly wired it may be energized and tested (very important!):
1. Press the button under the mode window until a red "1" appears in the window.
2. Press the button under the slider labeled "A" until a red "0" appears in the window.
3. Press the button under the slider labeled "GM". The red "0" will wink out and on again.
4. Press the button under the mode window until a red "P" appears in the window.
5. Push the faders labeled "GM", "A", and "B" up to the tops of their slots.
6. One by one, run the sliders labeled "1" through "12" up and down and watch the lights.
Although there are only twelve channels, the I.Q.192 sends data for 192 DMX or AMX
dimmers
. Channel 1 sends data to dimmers 1, 13, 25, and so on. These assignments, called
