PAN/TILT:
Invert the pan and/or tilt values separately to make the motors turn in the opposite direction. This
function is available for all modes.
TEST:
Should the device need cleaning or maintenance, this function can be used to test one or more
devices simultaneously. The device plays a continuous program while the step motors and LEDs are used.
This way you can quickly detect any abnormalities or defects. The device will run the program until stopped
manually (for example when the sound-controlled mode is activated.)
HOUR:
If this device is used professionally or rented, it should be regularly maintained and inspected in
between use. The HOUR function shows exactly how long the device has been in use. This amount of time
accumulates over time as long as the device is being used and cannot be manipulated by the user.
VERS:
This function shows the device's current firmware version number. The user can not be updated by
the user.
RSET:
By selecting this function, you can restart the device completely without having to physically unplug it
and plug it back in.
Operating modes
The following overview is designed to show the differences between the various operation modes that are
supported by the above-mentioned menu functions.
Auto:
In Automatic mode, choose one of the operating modes where the device is not dependent on external
factors (such as a sound-controlled signals or the presence of noise). Choose one of the basic programs and
set the options such as the switching speed or the intensity correction, if desired.
Sound:
When in Sound-controlled mode, the device's internal microphone detects the music and reacts to the beat.
The device will move in sync with the music and provide an automated light show.
When there is no music for the device to detect or when only high frequencies are audible, the device will
continue its program at a slower pace, so the light show will not stop abruptly. As soon as the microphone
detects music again, it will resume the automated program and follow the beat.
Slave
In Slave mode, you can daisy-chain multiple devices of the same type so they all function a specific way.
This way you can coordinate your light show by having multiple separate devices moving the same way
instead of all different directions, which can be chaotic. Basically, you can connect an unlimited number of
slave devices to a master device, but a DMX booster is required in between. Generally speaking, you can
connect up to four armatures together without the need for a DMX booster.
Be aware that when you attempt to connect devices of different types and brands, they may behave
strangely and you may not get the desired effect because certain functions are linked to the wrong channels.
This is true of DMX lighting of all brands and types.
The ERO Micro Spot can function in conjunction with the ALO Micro Scan because they share exactly the
same operating programs. Moving heads and scanners of this type can work together seamlessly.
DMX
The DMX mode is the most comprehensive way to maintain ultimate control over all the functions this device
has to offer. It enables you to determine exactly how many functions you want to control via the DMX
controller or DMX software.
This device can be set to various channel modes so the channel layout, which is shown below, corresponds
