10. Preset Playback

Once presets are recorded, the APC system is ready for use.

If there is no control console in the system, or if the console is turned off:

· Pressing any preset button will fade in the stored scene using the fade time that

was set for that scene.

· Pressing a new preset will start a fade from the old preset to the new preset.
· Pressing Off will fade out any scene.

The panels will be disabled if a control console begins transmitting data. The DMX
line will be driven by the console, and the panels will be in 'standby'. All preset will be
turned off, and all LED indicators on the panel will be off.

When the console is turned off, the panels will respond in one of two ways,
depending on the setting of jumper JP3 on the Master panel. The default setting is
for JP3 to be open, selecting Architectural mode. If a jumper placed on JP3, the
system will operate in Backup mode.

· Architectural mode - The APC panel will fade up the last preset selected when the

console is turned off.

· Backup mode - The APC panel will continue to send the last scene from the

console. All panel presets will blink, prompting the operator to select a particular
playback.

The Off key can be programmed for a special function when the console is off and all
panel presets are turned off. Installing a jumper on J6 on the master panel will
program the system to turn DMX OFF instead of sending all zero channel data. This
feature can be used to 'lamp off' some types of intelligent fixtures.
