Shortcuts menu
Pressing and holding the MENU button for two seconds opens a small
Shortcuts menu with two items:
•
RESET ALL carries out a complete reset of the fixture with all its effects.
•
ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the control panel display through 180°. This
function makes it easier to read the control panel menus when changing
from standing to hanging installation.
DMX address setting
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used
to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The ERA 150 Wash uses 18
DMX channels. This means that if you have a group of fixtures and you set
the first fixture
’s DMX address to 1, then DMX address 19 is available for the
next fixture, DMX address 37 for the fixture after that, and so on.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. You can give the same DMX address to two fixtures of the same
type if you want them to behave identically. Giving the same DMX address
to multiple fixtures can be useful for grouped control and troubleshooting.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. In the DMX SETUP menu in the fixture’s control panel, use the UP and
DOWN buttons to select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER. The
fixture’s currently set DMX address will blink in the display.
2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address.
3. Once the new address has been selected, press ENTER to confirm it (or
press MENU to exit without making a change).
Pan/tilt inversion
The PERSONALITY → PAN INVERSE and TILT INVERSE menus let you
reverse the direction of pan and tilt. This can be useful if you want to create
symmetrical effects with multiple fixtures, or if you want to coordinate the
movement of fixtures that are standing on the floor with fixtures that are
being flown upside down in a rig.
To adjust the pan inversion settings:
1. Select PAN INVERSE and press ENTER to confirm. The currently set
mode will blink in the display.
2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select YES (tilt inversion) or NO
(normal) mode.
3. Press ENTER to save your selection.
