Converting a Light Head from Controller to Follower and Vice Versa
Changing from controller to follower resets all features to the
default settings. See Table 2 for the defaults. The light head will
shortly go to a low-power steady burn with all LEDs regardless
of which color lights up. Low power mode continues until the
light head is connected to a controlling light head.
The patterns for the light head are now ready to be controlled
by another controller light head.
Converting a Light Head from Follower to Controller
To convert a light to a controller:
1.
Connect the black wire from the light head to ground
(–GND).
2.
Apply 12 Vdc (+BAT) to the red wire from the light head.
3.
Hold the green pattern-selection wire to ground (–GND)
until the light head goes out and then flashes three times.
This procedure takes approximately 3 seconds. Remove
the green wire from –GND, shortly after the three flashes
complete. Do not hold the green wire to ground (–GND)
much longer after the three flashes, as you may change a
different feature. If the light flashes four times, you have held
the green wire too long. Changing from follower to controller
resets all features to the default (Table 2).
The light head has now been placed into Pattern 2, which is
79 FPM Power Quad. To achieve subsequent flash patterns,
tap the green pattern-selection wire to ground (–GND). For
information about available flash patterns, see "Selecting a Flash
Pattern" on page 21.
