5.4. Battery supported memory
Smartrack stores its configuration parameters in battery supported memory,
which will support settings for up to ten years. These batteries will have to be
replaced at approximately ten year intervals.
5.5. Using offline mode
There are two levels of access to Smartrack’s control panel, which is normally
safeguarded from accidental operation. The first level is used for dimmer testing,
plus changes to dimmer addressing, profiles and response speed. The second
level – offline mode – is used for commissioning and service only, and requires a
special entry code, which may be withheld from operational staff if desired.
In offline mode, engineers can:
●
Check the rms line voltage
●
Set the output voltage scale
●
Clear configuration settings
To enter offline mode, it is first necessary to unlock the control panel:
a) Press
enter
for three seconds. The enter LED lights, indicating that the con-
trol panel is unlocked. Note that the control panel has a three minute time-
out. This means that the control panel will lock up if no buttons are pressed in
normal operating mode, after a period of three minutes. This time-out does
not apply in offline mode.
b) Press the
▲
and
▼
keys simultaneously for one second; three dashes appear
in the display window, indicating that Smartrack is in offline mode.
Note: in offline mode, the current DMX input is set to zero.
c) Use the
▲
and
▼
keys to move around the offline menu. The menu items are:
– – –
Offline menu header
AC
Check rms line voltage
CAL
Set output voltage scale
CLr
Clear stored values to factory defaults
d) To exit the offline menu, press
▲
and
▼
together from the offline menu.
