4.10 PANIC MENU
The “Panic” function provides emergency evacuation lighting that can be easily recalled by
either a simple “Panic” or “Evacuate” button or it can be connected to a BMS (Building
Management System) so that it is automatically operated when a fire alarm is activated.
The “Panic” input is a dry contact closure that stops all current output and replaces it with a
“Panic Memory” that you have created in the Redback. This memory will typically contain
channel levels that will provide suitable lighting for evacuation purposes. A separate contact
closure is required to release the panic memory. When Panic has been activated , “Panic
Memory Active” flashes on the screen.
See the “Installation” section for details on how to connect the Panic and Release buttons.
Selecting [Config] [Panic] provides menus for:
 Creating, editing the Panic Memory (P).
 Activating the Panic Memory for testing purposes.
The “P” button shows a bargarph display of the current Panic memory and also its fade time
in seconds.
Pressing the [P] button allows you to create or edit the memory.
You can either take a [Snap] (snapshot) of the current DMX input signal or the current
state of the Redback’s Outputs or select a channel(s) and manually set their levels using the
controls on the screen.
4.10.1 Manually Setting Channel Levels
The “Panic Memory Setup” menu (above) shows the first 6 channels. Use the [<] or [>]
buttons to see the other groups of 6 channels (if fitted). The navigator at the top right of
the screen shows current group of 6 selected channels highlighted.
The default setting for the Panic memory is for all dimmer channels at an intensity of 65%
and all non dim channels set to ON.
