Advanced Operation
The AL7-W offers a wide range of advanced settings for professional users. Many options like
Strobe lighting, group-building, color calibration etc can found in the menu and are discussed
in Chapter 6. Other advanced functions can only be operated with the ARC2 Remote Control.
As there are numerous settings, it is recommended to reset each unit as well as the remote
controller to its Factory Default settings before they are set-up (again). This can be done by
entering the menu (hold first key key for one second) and go to FACTORY RESET, and confirm
with YES.
5.1 Targeting Lamps
There are several ways to control only a selection of units, rather than all units at once. The
functions are launched with the ARC2 Remote Control but can be prepared at the AL7-W it-
self.
Target Lamps by GROUPS
Each lamp can be set to belong to one of four groups (G1, G2, G3 or G4). Then each groups
can be controlled individually, or groups can be linked together. If groups are linked, the pro-
gram pattern stretches over them. New lamps or reset lamps are set to group 1
Groups can be set in the menu under AUTO SETTINGS > GROUPS
Target lamps by SET
Lamps can be assigned to one of 255 possible set-addresses. Also, more than one lamp can
be assigned to one set #. In practice, usually a set of lamps will be assigned one set #. Each of
these sets can be controlled individually.
Groups can be set in the menu under AUTO SETTINGS > SET SIZE and POS IN SET
Target lamps by TAPPING THEM
Select this option with the ARC2 Remote Control and confirm the selection with the AL7-W's
ENTER button
Target lamps by TYPE
If you want to use the ARC2 to address all AL7-WXL or AL7-WXXL units in range, select this
option.
Target lamps by SERIAL NUMBER
To use the ARC2 Remote Control to target one specific unit, select this function.
You can check a unit's serial number under INFO > SERIAL
