The HP12-TR / HP12-SC dimmers offer a range of pre-recorded Snapshots, Scenes
and Chases that may be used for testing purposes or for when the dimmer rack is
used in stand-alone (no control desk) applications.
The Snapshots and Scenes must be recorded via the Build menu (see section 4.1.7).
The Chase patterns are factory-set and cannot be changed. The output levels of
Snapshots and Scenes may be varied with the
LEVEL/FUNCTION
encoder wheel,
which becomes a master level control. During chases the encoder wheel becomes a
chase rate control.
In all cases, individual channel levels may be changed. Once changed, however, they
remain at the new level regardless of the setting of the master level control.
Note that any previously disabled channels will remain disabled when in RUN
mode, with chase sequences abbreviated to avoid visible gaps.
•
To run a Snapshot, Scene or Chase, press the
RUN
keypad button.
•
Select either a Snapshot (
“SP1”
,
“SP2”
, or
“SP3”
), a Scene (
“SC1”
or
“SC2”
), or a Factory Preset Chase (
“PR1”
,
“PR2”
,
“PR3”
,
“PR4”
,
“PR5”
,
or
“PR6”
) with the
FUNCTION
encoder wheel.
•
Press
ENTER
to confirm the selection.

If Snapshot 2 (
“SP2”
) is selected, the display will scroll with the message
“SP2
ON LEVEL 100”
.
•
The output level may be altered with the
LEVEL/FUNCTION
encoder
wheel and the display will indicate a level between 100% and 0%.
•
Pressing a channel
SELECT
button will isolate that channel from the master
level control. The
STATUS
LED will flash to show the channel is isolated.
Pressing the
SELECT
button again will re-connect the channel to the master
level control.
