MENU BACKLIGHT
With a range of 0-10 and a factory default of 9, this adjustment controls the brightness of all menu
screens, except the main “run” window.
MAIN SCREEN BACK LIGHT
Range is 0-10, with a factory default of 1, this adjustment if for the main “run” window. Generally
this channel is adjusted to dim the screen while running.
FACTORY RESET
If you get lost and prefer to start over, FACTORY RESET will return all settings to a factory default
that works well for most types of lights. In the FACTORY RESET window, press +. It will ask
you to confirm by pressing both + and – simultaneously. The factory reset will happen nearly
instantaneously. You may then scroll down through the various windows or just hit MENU to save
and resume operation.
ADVANCED OPERATION
The FF-211 will work right out of the box with no adjustments as mentioned in the QUICK START section.
However, you can customize some of the settings to optimize the system to better fit your needs.
LEVEL adjustments should be set so that lights react to subtle sounds, yet don’t remain on solid during a
lightning strike.
DEPTH - DIMMER will determine the depth of dimming or how dim the light will become during a strike.
It can be adjusted to just make the lights flicker slightly with strong lightning strikes or it can completely
extinguish lights with even medium strikes. There is no right or wrong… only personal preference.
THRESHOLD controls are one of the most important settings. Set too high, the lights will always glow. If
set too low, the system will still work, but the lights will seem more “choppy” and they will lose sensitivity
to subtle sounds. Always adjust this control until your lights just begin to glow, then back it down a step
or two.
MAXIMUM DIMMER LEVEL allows you set the maximum brightness of the lights connected to the
dimmer channel. You can now dim those lights, while still having the FF-211 flicker and dim them more
during a “lightning strike”. This adjustment is purely a matter of preference.
