A flame will be generated if the safety condition is met and the flame channel is being received with a
dimmer value of at least 90% (at least decimal 229).
Another flame effect can only be triggered if the dimmer value of the flame channel dropped below 6%
(below decimal 16) in the meantime.
If a flame is being generated currently and the safety channel is being received with a dimmer value
higher than 80% or lower than 60% the electromagnetic fuel valves are closed to stop the flame effect.
It can be meaningful to program the G-Flames with different flame channels and a common safety
channel. If you move the fader of the safety channel beyond the valid range all G-Flames will be
deactivated together. Of course it is also possible to program groups of safety channels if necessary.
Examples of the display content while receiving DMX signals:
Input: DMX512
F:003_, S:012x
The G-Flame has been programmed to flame channel 3 and safety
channel 12 ('F' = Flame channel, 'S' = Safety channel). In addition you
see the status of the safety channels and respectively of the DMX
reception. 'x' means that no signal is being received or that the
transmitted value of the safety channel is not between 60% and 80%
(= device is not armed). The safety condition is not met in this example
and no flame is being generated.
Input: DMX512
F:003_, S:012
' ' right next to the safety channel means that a DMX signal is being
received and a value between 60% and 80% is being received for the
safety channel (= device is armed). Consequently flame effects can be
initiated.
Input: DMX512
F:003 , S:012
The safety condition is fulfilled and the flame channel is being received
with a dimming value of at least 90%. The G-Flame generates a flame.
In this case a flame symbol is being displayed right next to the flame
channel.
During the reception of DMX signals in addition to the display content shown above also the following
information is being displayed alternately:
- Tilt switch on/off and the tilt status
- Flame monitoring on/off
As soon as the DMX status is changing the device immediately displays the DMX information again
and the LCD backlight is switched on simultaneously if it has been enabled in the menu of the device.
