Power-up sequence
When powering up, the following sequence should be used:
1
Power up the control desk.
2
Power up any softpatches and/or DMX receivers.
3
Power up the dimmers last, preferably one at a time starting from the first
dimmer rack in the DMX loop.
This procedure minimises the risk of lamps and fixtures responding to any false DMX
data produced by control desks or ancillary equipment at turn-on (producing the
lighting equivalent of an audio “thump”) and prevents damage to lamps, dimmers, and
other controlled devices.
Use the reverse procedure when powering down.
