Esprit Digital Operating Instructions

If a transmitter set to a different channel number is activated within range of the unit with the IR
Remote enabled then the channel number of that unit will be briefly displayed. This allows a quick
channel check to be made whenever a channel number is unknown. The remote control can then
be switched to that channel.
Restrictions
The actual number of channels available depends on the Remote Control transmitter being used.
Any IR system tends to be directional and although the IR signal can be ‘bounced’ off objects or
walls it may not always work reliably with a number of units that are spaced far apart. Whenever
possible point the remote control directly towards the sensor on the unit or units requiring
adjustment. The Photocell is very sensitive and the IR Remote is capable of activating it if used
within a range of approximately 1.0m.
OPTIONS

DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS Option
The preferred brightness of the display and LED’s can be selected from the ‘OPTIONS’ sub-menu
as follows:
Display Range
X.X Description
di.X
1 to 9
Display brightness value where 1 is minimum and 9 is the
maximum. Use ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ to adjust. Default factory
setting is di.7.
UP & DOWN Buttons
Select the required ‘FUNCTION’ as detailed above.
Single presses of the ‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ buttons will increment or decrement the value by one. Hold
the appropriate button down to automatically increment or decrement the value. Release the
button when the required value is reached and then use momentary presses to adjust if
necessary.
NOTE: Attempting to exceed either the minimum or maximum values for any function will cause
the display to flash. If the sounder is turned on then this will beep to indicate an out of range
condition.
FLASH CONTROLS & OPERATION
‘F’ - FLASH Display Mode
The FLASH mode is displayed by
default and is indicated by an ‘F’ before the flash value as
follows:
Display Range
X.X Description
FX.X
5.0 to 10
Display Flash power value. Use ‘UP’ or ’DOWN’ to adjust.
The FLASH power is adjustable over a 5 f-stop range (6 f-stops) in 1/10 f-stop increments using
the UP and DOWN push buttons. The power is displayed in an easy to use decimal form where
each whole number represents 1 f-stop. The control has a minimum setting of 5.0 and a
maximum setting of 10. A single press of either the UP or DOWN button changes the value by 0.1
f-stop (1/10) to give a total of 51 values. E.g. If the current value shown is 9.4 then to reduce the
power by 1 f-stop just reduce it to 8.4. The following table shows the whole decimal numbers and
equivalent fractional power ratio:
