EXTERNAL DMX SOURCE CONFIGURATION
ADMIN PASSWORD required to access. Pressing the wrench icon in the screen
below will access a page for DMX input priority set up of the Main PWS. One of
the following three modes of operation can be selected:
DMX IN PRIORITY - Locks out PWS DMX Output and passes external DMX
Input (Control Console) to the PWS DMX Output in real time.
DMX IN HTP (MERGE) - Highest Takes Precedence Mode Merges incoming
DMX on the PWS Input with the DMX programming output (active Preset) of the
PWS.
Push to toggle between modes. Exit when desired mode is displayed.
To access DMX IN PPT press and hold for 5 seconds.
DMX IN PPT - Preset Pass Through Mode allows for two Main PWS to operate
on the same wiring LAN. Each Main PWS may have independent Secondary
PWS connected to it (Maximum 15 PWS per LAN). The output of the upstream
Main PWS must be hardwired to the input of the downstream Main PWS.
Important!
External DMX sources can NOT be used to record “snapshots” for
Presets in this mode.
DMX SET/CLEAR - Quick set up buttons are also provided for fast default
programming in the above menu pages.
SET ALL DIM - Activates all 512 DMX output channels (no mask) and configures
them as Dimmers.
SET ALL NON-DIM - Activates all 512 DMX output channels (no mask) and
configures them as NON-DIM. Trigger threshold at approximately 3% on any
presets assigned with a fade time.
CLEAR ALL - Disables all 512 DMX output channels (complete mask). Shipped
from the factory this way requiring DMX channel enabling by the customer.
All the above menus will show the following safety prompt before allowing data to
overwrite.
