Operating Instructions
Unpacking and Connections.
Unpack the main unit and place on a flat surface
within easy reach of the operator.
Unpack and position the remote displays where they can be viewed by the presenter
and connect them to the main unit using standard 3-pin XLR (mic) cables observing
maximum distance and any splits.
Apply power to the main unit using the universal IEC power connector input on the back
of the main unit. Filibuster will power up with the display, flash a row of dashes—
Minus signs across the display before going to blank and the buttons will all come on to
their preset dim levels.
Count Up
To start a count up time—similar to that of a stopwatch. Press any of the traffic light
buttons and the time will start and in the colour you have selected. You can change the
colour at any point in this mode by selecting another button of that colour while the time
increments to a maximum time of 95 minutes.
Selecting pause will cause the time in numbers to flash with a minus sign and then
back to the paused time. This will show as a quick flash with CombiLamp and
CombiTower. So that it is indicated on these colour only displays that something has
happened, as in pause.
Hitting the reset button will stop the count and return all the displays to blank.
Programming a preset.
Count Down
has to be pre-programmed to a preset as it needs to know what time to
start from.
Hit the reset button to ensure everything is cleared then push and hold the reset and
then the preset you want to store a time to. Hold both buttons for about 5 seconds until
you see a row of dashes on the numeric screen and then release the buttons. You are
now in program mode.
The green button is now lit to say it will start at 00:00 for count up. (see later) to change
to count down select the Up/Dn button and it will glow brightly for CountDown. The
green button will go out, as it needs to know what time to start from, and the time will
also show 30:00 as a starting point.
