Exterior 400 Range user manual
Stand-alone operation can be set to:
• start automatically as soon as power is applied
• respond to a timer trigger that activates operation for one or two periods in a 24 hour period, or
• respond to a light-level trigger that uses a light sensor to activate operation when ambient light is below a
certain level.
If both the timer
and
the light-level trigger are used, operation starts whenever it is darker than the light-level
setting, and within the times set.
Enabling stand-alone operation
To enable stand-alone operation, set
Stand-alone operation
to
Enabled
.
Starting automatically
To set stand-alone operation to start automatically, set
Auto program
to
On
. The fixture will now start
stand-alone operation automatically as soon as power is applied and no DMX signal is being received.
Setting a timer trigger
To set a timer trigger:
1. Make sure that the correct time has been set on the fixture’s built-in clock (see "
page 18).
2. Select
None
,
Timer 1
,
Timer 2
or
Both Timers
in the
Enable Timers
box.
3. Use the
Start Time
and
End Time
spin buttons to set a period of stand-alone operation on the selected
timer(s).
Setting a light-level trigger
To set a light-level trigger:
1. Set
Light level sensor trigger
to
On
.
2. Set the light level that triggers stand-alone operation using the
Trigger level
spin button, or press
Capture current sensor value
to set the current ambient light level to trigger stand-alone operation.
To avoid false triggering by sudden light changes (caused by vehicle headlights or clouds, for example), the
light level must remain above or below the trigger threshold for 5 minutes to activate the trigger.
Programming stand-alone operation
About scenes
A stand-alone light show consists of scenes. Each scene is a
particular lighting effect with predetermined color, intensity and
duration. Up to 20 scenes can be programmed into the Exterior
400 Range’s program memory.
Each scene has a dynamic part – the fade – during which effects
move to the scene’s programmed positions, and a static part – the
wait – where effects do not change.
The duration of the fade and wait is programmed individually for
each scene. The fade time may be 0 - 120 seconds; the wait time
may be 1 second to 12 hours. The total time it takes a scene to
execute is the sum of the fade and wait times.
Programming scenes
To program a scene:
1. click on the
Stand-alone program
2. Depending on which DMX mode the fixture is set to, the stand-alone programming window will show
columns for RGB, RGBAW, HSI or HSIC. Apply values by setting levels in each column.
