Configuration Mode
Configuration mode sets the following:
o
Global Fade and Hold times. These are the default times that will apply to
any scene for which no specific time is programmed.
o
The Loss of Data key, which determines what happens in the event DMX
data is lost.
Pass-Through Mode
When DMX signals are being received and neither manual nor external control is
active, the Power Cue Store remains passive and allows the DMX signal to pass to
the next DMX device. Pass-through mode is indicated by a dot beside
DMX OK
in
the display.
Scene Loading
Scenes can be loaded into memory while the Power Cue Store is in pass-through
mode.
Manual Control
The Power Cue Store may be controlled manually from the front panel, either
switching to the next scene by means of the
AUTO
button or fading to the next
scene using the slider. During the fade, the slider LED flashes to indicate that a fade
is in progress.
Manual control is indicated by a dot beside
MAN CONTROL
in the display.
External Control
The Power Cue Store may also be controlled remotely by a +10/12V analog
controller. The sub-D connector, mounted on the rear panel, is used for this purpose.
Separate Fade and Hold times are assignable to individual scenes, along with flags
designating a scene as the first or last in a sequence. Sequences may be set to run
once, or to loop.
External Control is indicated in the display by a dot beside
EXT CONTROL.
Switching On
THESE INSTRUCTIONS ASSUME THAT THE POWER CUE STORE IS
CONNECTED TO A SOURCE OF DMX AND THAT IT IS RECEIVING A
VALID SIGNAL. IF THE POWER CUE STORE IS NOT RECEIVING DMX,
IT WILL ENTER MANUAL MODE AND WILL ALLOW NEITHER
CONFIGURATION NOR PROGRAMMING.
If the slider has been left parked in an active position, the display will show
SLI
and the slider LED will flash. Move the slider to its inactive zone; that is, above
90% or below 10%.
When switched on for the first time the display will show a flashing
—-
. On
subsequent occasions it will show the number of the first valid scene.
