Pass Thru Mode
In
Pass Thru
mode
, the system will convert all the DMX values to CK Data protocol, and
send that CK Data (with 24V power) to all 12 outputs. This mode is useful when powering i-
Color Cove fixtures which have local address switches for each light. The Pass Thru Mode
can also be suitable for CB fixtures when using the CTI PDS-375 TR in a system requiring
Zapi addressing schemes, such as when being used in combination with other Color
Kinetics™ power supplies like the PDS-150™
Pass Thru Mode is selected whenever the DMX Address switches are set to all 0s (000) and
the Config Switch is set to 0
Stand-Alone Effects Mode
In
Stand-Alone Mode
the PDS-375 TR will run various pre-programmed effects without need
for a console. This is very useful for events like parties or trade shows, where a constantly
running program is desired without the use of a console or show programming.
The unit is placed into Stand-Alone Mode using the Config BCD switch. When the unit is in
Stand-Alone mode, the DMX Address switches become Effect controls. Different Stand-Alone
Effects are selected via different setting combinations of the DMX Address switches and the
Config switch
Configuration Switch Settings for different Stand-Alone Effects

No Stand-Alone function. The System will operate normally in Pass-Thru or CB
Modes, depending on the DMX Address switch settings.

Fixed Color. The DMX address BCDs are used to adjust the red, green and blue
components. DMX 100s controls the red (0 is off and 9 is full), DMX 10s controls
green and DMX 1s controls blue.
2
Color Wash (forward). The color wash effect moves sequentially around the
spectrum of colors (Red, Magenta, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow & White) repeating
the same cycle over and over again at user definable speeds. The speeds are
controlled by setting the DMX 10s & ones to 1 of 48 possible settings. The
following lists their settings and approximate fade times.
