LSC Lighting TEKO - Manual (Page 11)

TEKO Dimmer
Operator Manual V3.0
TEKO Main Screen
At the top of the screen is the name of this
TEKO dimmer. The default name is “TEKO
Dimmer” but you can enter a name of your
choice from the options menu. Names are useful
in identifying each TEKO dimmer in installations
containing more than one TEKO and can also
be used by the “Houston” monitoring software.
The middle of the screen is a bar-graph display
of the channel levels with channels numbers 1 to
12 shown across the bottom.
The levels from 00 to FL (Full) are shown on the
left scale in increments of ten, whilst the units of
each channel are shown on the individual
channel bars. In the example above, channel 3
has a level of 68.
Channels can be individually configured to be
controlled from either “DMX”, “Memory”
(ePlates)”, or the “MEM/DMX Switch”. The
letters below the bargraphs show the control
source for each channel. The legend below the
channel numbers explains the meaning of the
letters. In the example above;
Channels 1 to 4 are controlled by M, (Memories
recalled by ePlates). Channels 10 to 12 are
controlled by D, (DMX).
Channels 5 to 9
D are also controlled by DMX
but control is via the MEM/DMX switch.
Therefore the switch is obviously in the DMX
position. If the switch was changed over to
Memory, then channels 5 to 9 would come
under Memory control.
If the switch has been set to “Auto Switch” to
DMX (if a DMX signal is present), then if the
DMX signal is lost, channels 5 to 9 would
automatically switch to Memory control.
See section 2.5 “Control Philosophy” for more
details.
The right hand side of the screen indicates the
presence of the 3 phases (Ø A B C) of input
power to the TEKO.
“1” indicates the presence of that phase.
“Ø” indicates a loss of that phase.
The bottom of the screen displays scrolling
messages about the status of the TEKO
dimmer. These are described in the
Alarms
section .
