Cross Mode:

 Cross mode is a manual adjustment that fades from one 

step to the next. You may use this function in any CHASE PATTERN. This 

function will not effect channels 9-16. To use this function:

  1. Be sure you are in CHASE MODE. 

  2. Turn CROSS MODE on by holding down the SHIFT BUTTON (16), 

 

  and pressing the CROSS SETUP BUTTON  (20) until the yellow 

 

  CROSS ON LED glows.

  3. Press the CROSS BUTTON (15) to activate the cross function.  

 

  Channels 1-8 will stop chasing and the MASTER FADER (4) LED 

 

  will turn off. Either the “A” or “B” LED on the MASTER FADER 

 

  (4) will begin to glow depending on the position of the fader.

  4. You may now use the MASTER FADER (4) to manually cross fade 

 

  through a CHASE PATTERN’s steps. Sliding the MASTER FADER 

 

  (4) up and down will change the steps from one to the next. The 

 

  slower you move the fader the slower the scenes will fade from one 

 

  to the next.

  5. In this operation, the FADE TIME (7) level will function.

  6. You may use the CHASE PATTERN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select a 

 

  different chase at any time.

 

Loop  Mode: 

This  function  allows  you  to  group  several  CHASES 

together and run them in a sequential repeating pattern. 

  1. Be sure you are in CHASE MODE.

  2. Go to the first pattern you wish to program into the loop and press 

 

  the LOOP BUTTON (22). After you press the LOOP BUTTON (22), 

 

  the channel green LEDs will flash and “LP” will be displayed in 

 

  the right two (2) digits in the LCD DISPLAY (6).

  3. Repeat step two until you have enter all your desired CHASE 

 

  PATTERNS. If the LOOP BUTTON (22) is not pressed within 10 

 

  seconds, the loop will automatically start to cycle. You may add the 

 

  same CHASE PATTERN more than once.

  4. When you have finished entering all you chases, wait 10 

 

  seconds and “CL” will appear in the right two digits of the LCD 

 

  DISPLAY (6). When this happens the chases will automatically 

 

  begin to run and loop in the same pattern you programmed them in.

  5. To cancel or exit this mode, press the LOOP EXIT BUTTON 

 

  (22) while holding down the SHIFT BUTTON (16).

 This function gives you manual control over  channels 

1-8  when  running  in  normal  chase  mode. This  function  will  not  effect 

channels 9-16 in any way. To operate in show mode:

  1. Run a chase in a normal fashion.

  2. Bring the DIMMER SPEED SLIDER (9) down until “SHO” appears 

 

  in the LCD DISPLAY (6).

  3. When “SHO” appears you may use the STEP UP and DOWN 

 

  BUTTONS (20 &21) to manually step through a CHASE PATTERNS. 

  4. In this function you may change your selected CHASE PATTERN 

 

  at any time.

CHASE PATTERN. Please note that only CHASE PATTERNS 1-30 can be 

deleted, 31-60 are built in programs and can not be deleted or changed in 

any way. Also note that a program is never completely erased unless you

It can always be recalled later. To delete a CHASE PATTERN:

  1 .Enter PROGRAM MODE as described in “Programming Scenes” 

 

  on page 9.

  (16). All the channel LED’s will flash indicating the command

Assign Add/Kill:

a single or a group of channels on. Channels are assigned to the FLASH 

BUTTON (1 & 13), allowing to have a total of 16 programmed overrides. 

You may use your overrides at different times and may use more than one 

at a time. You can set this function to blackout (“KILL”) the chase, so only 

your override channels come on. You may also, set this function to “ADD” 

to the chase. When you “ADD,” your override channels will come on as 

your chase is running. This function will operate in any chase. This will 

be a momentarily function and your chase return to normal as soon as
