Scroll to Look Store and press Enter, scroll to desired Look and press Enter to access 
the memory data. The data is presented as two numbers separated by a letter “c”. 
The number to the left of the c is the channel number and to the right is the channel 
level. Scrolling the wheel will select the channel number. To edit the channel level, 
press Enter to toggle to the alternate number and use the scroll wheel to adjust the 

level (shown as 0-255). Press Enter to toggle back to the channel number. When the 
desired effect is created press Enter for 2 seconds to save Look.

 

  Time Triggers 

 

The PSU-30 has real time triggering of the internal Looks. Press Enter and scroll to 
desired Time Trigger and press Enter. Press Enter to toggle between Day, Hour (24), 

Minutes and Look to be triggered, adjusting the setting with the scroll wheel as 
desired. Press Enter for 2 seconds to save settings.  By default Time Triggers will 
occur on all 7 days unless specified. The triggers will only be activated when the 
feature “When DMX is Lost” is set to Trig. 

  Set Day and Time 

 

Press Enter. Press Enter to toggle between Day, Hour (24) and Minutes, adjusting the 
setting with the scroll wheel as desired. When the Day and Time is set correctly 
press Enter for 2 seconds to save settings. 

  Display Backlight (Displ. Backlight) 

 

The LCD backlight can be set to go off after 5 seconds of no activity. Press Enter, 
scroll wheel to On (permanently) or Off (after 5 seconds) and press Enter for 2 
seconds to save setting. 

  Reset to Default 

 

Press Enter for 2 seconds to reset all menu items to factory defaults. Factory defaults 

are: DMX address = 001, Control Mode = 1 (367 channels HSI+FX), DMX Lost = 
Hold, Looks = default, Time Triggers deleted, Display = On. Sync FX = Master. 

  Sync Mode 

 

In normal operation internally generated FX should stay synchronised between PSU-
30’s for approx 30 minutes. If better synchronisation is required a timing signal can 

be run via a RJ45 patch (not crossover) cable between PSU-30’s. In order for this to 
work correctly one PSU-30 must be designated as the Master and all other must be 
set to Slave. 

 

 

 

Press Enter and use the scroll wheel to select Master or Slave. Press Enter for 2 

seconds to save setting.
