If one wants to control a smoke machine (or any dmx equipment) separately from the units, he can assign it
to a function button here. According to its parameter max. four smoke machine buttons can be provided, all
of them can be with max. 8 channels.
STROBO
When installing the unit it can be specified which channel of it should be of STROBO type and which value
should be where this channel strobes. B pressing the button the strobes can be switched on and the units
will strobe until the button is not switched off again.
AUTOMATIC MODE
The events written in the menu can be launched in automatic mode according to the data set in the setup
menu, and the parameters of the launched events can be changed.
Function of some operating devices:
PAGE button: Switch from channels 1-16 to 17-32 or from 33-48 to 49-64.
The LED glows at half intensity when the events 1-16 or 33-48 are launched and for a short
moment „page 01-16“ or „page 33-48“ appears on the display. The LED starts blinking when
channels 17-32 or 49-64 are active and on the display appears „page 17-32“ or „page 49-64“.
Event bank buttons: only one of buttons can
be active, its LED glows with total intensity,
the other LEDs do it at half intensity. By
pressing them, they are able to redeem each
other. With buttons 1-16 the event with an
active event bank can be started. After
pressing the PROGRAM button programs and after pressing the PRESET button preset scenes can be
launched. The page has to be shifted to launch an event with a serial number of 17 or a higher one. If you
start an event, the event bank button will blink. If you press the SEQUENCE button you can start sequences
with buttons 1-16. If you press button one its LED will blink and the SEQUENCE buttons´ LED will also blink.
If you press PROGRAM the LED glows at full intensity and the SEQUENCE LED will blink at half intensity.
Now select programs. If a blinking event bank button lights with full power and you press it, its event will
stop. Except for the SCENE button, read more in the part ‘Select program scene by one’.
Buttons 1-16: Events can be launched on them, always those that
correspond to the current event bank. If a LED does not glow, no
event was written on it in the current event bank. If its LED glows
at half intensity, an event was written on it and it can be started by
pressing the button, then its LED starts flashing. It can flash at half intensity as well, which may occur if the
corresponding program is running while you are selecting another bank with the bank-selecting buttons. With
this half-intensive flashing you indicate that the program with this serial number is running, but not in the
current bank.
STROBE button: its LED glows at half intensity, after pressing it, it starts flashing - indicating that
the strobo effect is switched on. In the lower line of the display the ‘SPEC STROBE ON’ caption
appears for a short time. Then on the set special strobo channels the set active values will get on
the dmx line (these are usually SHUTTER channels and on their values the units strobing with
maximum speed), which overload the value of automatic channel or the manual one, but not the
contingent black-out value. After pressing the button again the special strobo effect is switched
off, its LED will glow at half intensity, and on the display the ‘SPEC STROBO OUT’ caption will appear for a
short time.
