Operating Instructions

Programming Scenes (Steps) into Chase Patterns: 

This 

function  allows  you  to  turn  on  specific  channels  (1-16)  at  one  time  to 

be  programmed  into  a  Chase.   This  controller  stores  60  CHASE  PAT-

TERNS, 1-30 are user programmable and 31-60 are preset and cannot be 

changed. You may program SCENES into CHASE PATTERNS 1-30 only. 

To program a scene:

  1. Press and hold down the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) for two 

 

  seconds. The green program LED will turn on indicating you are in 

 

  program mode.

  2. At this point the display should read 

01:01.

 The first two digits display 

 

  the CHASE bank and the second pair of digits displays the SCENE 

 

  bank.

  3. Use these PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select a CHASE bank 

 

  to store the scenes you are about to create.

  4. Once you have selected a CHASE bank, you may begin to adjust 

 

  the channels (1-16) to your liking.

  5. Once you have adjusted the channels to your desired settings press 

 

  the PROGRAM BUTTON (23) once to record your scene into 

 

  memory. When you press the PROGRAM BUTTON (23), all the 

 

  channel LED’s will flash indicating the scene has been stored into 

 

  memory.  The right two digits in the LCD DISPLAY (6) will advance 

 

  to the next available step.

  6. You may continue this pattern up to 99 times per each CHASE 

 

  PATTERN. You may mix and match the top and bottom channel 

 

  buttons together in a CHASE PATTERN, however, remember that 

 

  the upper and lower channels chase speeds are controlled 

 

  separately.

  7. When you have completed programming all your steps you must 

 

  record an “End Step” to finalize your CHASE PATTERN. To 

 

  program the “End Step,” press and hold down the SHIFT BUTTON 

 

  (16). While holding down the SHIFT BUTTON (16), press and 

 

  release the PROGRAM BUTTON (23). You will see all the LEDs 

 

  flash indicating the “End Step” was successfully programmed.

    8. To exit the program mode, press and hold the PROGRAM 

 

  BUTTON for two (2) seconds.

Running  Chase  Patterns:

 This function allows you to automati-

cally run one of the 60 CHASE PATTERNS. The speed of these chase’s 

can be controlled by the DIMMER SPEED (9) and SWITCH SPEED (10) 

faders. The DIMMER SPEED (9) will control channels 1-8 and SWITCH 

SPEED will control channels 9-16. To run a chase pattern:

  1. Press the CHASE BUTTON (24). The chase LED in the LCD Display 

 

  (6) will light indicating you are in CHASE MODE. 

  2. Use the PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select the CHASE PAT- 

 

  TERN you wish to run.

  3. Use the SPEED CONTROLS (9 & 10) to adjust your chase speed 

 

  and the LEVEL CONTROL (8) to set your output intensity.

Using  the  Built  In  Programs:

  This  controller  comes  with  30 

preset programs. These programs are designed to get you up and running 

in minutes. Programs 31-40 control channels 1-8, 41-50 control channels 

9-16, and programs 51-60 combine channels 1-16. Chase Pattern 40 is a 

combination of 31-39. Chase Pattern 50 is a combination of 41-49. Chase 

Pattern 60 is a combination of 51-59. These chases can not be changed 

or edited.
