OPERATION
The four modes of operation are selected via the mode pushbutton below the display.
The mode determines the functions of the buttons. The slide controls are active in all
modes except the hold mode. The display window indicates which mode the unit is in: P
for play; H for hold, A for assign, and a number (e.g. 1) for patch mode. Press the mode
button to cycle through the modes.
Play Mode
Play mode is identified by a "P" in the display window. The dimmers come up in
proportion to the levels of the channel sliders. The dimmers may be assigned to different
channels in patch mode (see below.) The buttons act as bumps; when a bump button is
pressed, the level for that slide control goes to full. When the button is released, it
returns to the slider setting.
The grandmaster and submasters are proportional master controls. The outputs of the
submasters and channels are in proportion to the level of the grandmaster; the outputs of
the channels are in proportion to the levels of the submasters. Channel and submaster
assignments may be changed in assign mode (see below.)
Hold Mode
Hold mode is identified by an "H" in the display window. In this mode, the output levels
being sent to the dimmers are frozen, allowing the user to set up the next "look" on the
sliders. After the new levels are set, the user may initiate a timed fade, a manual fade,
or step immediately to the new scene. This is called "two scene" operation.
A timed fade is begun by pressing one of the channel buttons. The fade time
corresponds to the channel number: pressing the channel 5 button starts a 5 second
fade. The LED indicator for that channel will light, showing the fade in progress. The
fade time may be changed during a fade simply by pressing a different channel button.
Pressing the grandmaster will finish the fade immediately. The console will return to
play mode and the indicator LED will go off when the fade is complete.
A manual fade is accomplished using the grandmaster slider. After setting the new
channel levels, bring the grandmaster slider down all the way to zero. The LED indicator
under the Grandmaster will light, indicating that the fader is active. Bring the slider to full
at the desired rate. When the slider reaches full, the indicator will go out and the console
will return to the play mode.
