Multiple
AR 250
fixtures can operate in the absence of control signal by executing internally stored, pre-recorded programs
Projectors correctly connected together may operate in synchronised mode, the
AR 250
receiving signal being denominated as
“
slave
” units and those generating control signal designated as “
master
” units.
To activate this automated function, projectors must be connected together as described in the section entitled
9.3.
“Synchronising multiple AR 250 fixtures without using DMX512”; No signal cables should be connected to
the external data input sockets.
Power up the projector and use the 4 button menu system and the display panel to set the units correctly.
15.1 “Masters”
AR 250
may operate automatically with output in the form of pre-recorded programs, as described in section “
9.3.
Synchronising multiple AR 250 fixtures without using DMX512”
Only one unit may be designated as “master”.
Selecting a master unit is simply a matter of convenience and accessibility to the display panel:
1) Press the
menu
button, the display will show
MODE
.
2) Press the
enter
button, the display will show
DMX
(for dmx function).
3) Press the

(for master).
4) Press the
enter
button to confirm you selection; the letters
-MA-
will flash momentarily and then the display will show the pro-
gram details
PRG
.
, for program,, with the relevant number (9 available programs from
1
to
9
sequentially).
You may now alter the preset parameters:
Altering the delay between color changes in a program.
1) The display shows
PRG. 1
(program 1 is running, for example).
2) Press the
enter
button.
3) Press the
+
button until the display shows
WAIT
(wait).
4) Press the
enter
button. The display will show a numerical value which corresponds to the current delay between color changes
5) Press the
+
button to obtain the required time delay (between 0,1 and 460 seconds).
6) Press the
enter
button to confirm your selection. The display will flash and then return automatically to the original
PRG.1
dis-
play, recording the time delay you have selected.
Selecting an alternative program to that currently running.
1) The display shows
PRG.1
(program 1, for example)
2) Press the
enter
button.
3) Press the
+
button until the display shows
PROG
(
program).
4) Press the
enter
button. The display will show a numerical value which corresponds to the currently running program

5) Press the
+
button to select the number of the required program.
The
AR 250
provides numerous color change combinations in the internal memory of the projector, grouping them with conside-
ration to the tonality and speed of the color changes:
Program 1: all possible color combinations in a smooth, slow sequence.
Program 2: saturated colors in a smooth, slow sequence.
Program 3: pastel colors in a smooth, slow sequence.
Program 4: bright colors in a smooth, slow sequence.
Program 5: all possible color combinations at a faster speed with respect to programs 1 to 4.
Program 6: saturated colors at a faster speed with respect to programs 1 to 4.
Program 7: pastel colors at a faster speed with respect to programs 1 to 4.
Program 8: bright colors at a faster speed with respect to programs 1 to 4.
Program 9: a sequence of color changes of varying tonality and speed.
6) Press the
+
button further and the
AR 250
will display
P.ALL
(all programs, played back in order) and
P.L.RM
(all programs,
played back randomly).
Note that prior to recording, the decimal point will not appear preceding the program number.
7) Press the
enter
button to confirm your selection. The display will flash and display, for example,
PRG.2
recording the change.
15.2 “slaves”
All projectors which are connected to a “
Master
” unit should be set to “
Slave
”. Connections should be as described in section
“9.3
Synchronizing multiple AR 250 fixtures without DMX 512”.
“
Slave
” units are recognisable since they have connections made to both XLR sockets in their base, except for the final unit in the
chain which has only one connection to its “
DMX IN
”.socket.
Once this is complete, you may proceed to set up units as “
Slave
”.
1) Press the
menu
button, the display will show
MODE
.
2) Press the
enter
button, the display will show
DMX
(for dmx function).
3) Press the
+
button until the display shows
-SL-
(for slave).
4) Press the
enter
button to confirm you selection; the letters
-SL-
will flash momentarily and then remain static.
When the display shows
-SL-
it confirms that it has accepted the setting as
Slave
and is ready to accept input instructions from a
Master
unit.
