Wireless SQP User Manual

4.
Tilt Cutout (1=on, 0=off)
o
The WSQP has a safety tilt switch that will disable the machine if it is tipped beyond 40 degrees
from vertical. This will prevent the machine from operating should it be knocked over. It is possible
to disable/enable this tilt-switch if desired, by using the UP/DOWN buttons to toggle the setting.
o
Warning:
The WSQP is only designed to be used in a vertical position. If the unit is to be used in any
other position, it is the
sole responsibility of the user
to ensure safe operation.
5.
Spark Detect (1=on, 0=off)
o
The WSQP contains ignitor validation circuitry that detects a valid spark condition through the
spark electrode. Before allowing the WSQP to arm, the machine tests the spark ignition system,
and if a valid spark is not detected it disables the machine, and it will not respond to commands.
o
User intervention is needed to re-enable the machine by pressing any of the buttons. It will
automatically arm itself again after the Safety Delay time regardless of the mode of operation
(DMX/COBRA).
6.
DMX
6.1.
DMX Filter
o
In order to minimise the possibility of incorrect triggering of the WSQP through DMX, the signal
interpretation incorporates DMX data filter. The filter works by only firing a channel if the same
exact value is seen for five consecutive DMX packets. This will cause a small delay in the unit’s
response to DMX commands (approximately 100ms). In practical terms, this delay should be too
short to have any effect on functionality; however it is possible to disable the DMX filter if this is
desired.
o
Following modes of filter are available:
o
Disabled – DMX data filter is disabled.
o
Zero Evaluation (default) – signal treated as zero (no fire) while five consecutive DMX
packets are not identical.
o
Hold Evaluation – signal treated as unchanged (can be fire) while five consecutive DMX
packets are not identical, but are changing in constant direction. If the direction of change
is inconsistent, signal will be treated as zero (no fire).
o
Warning
: If the WSQP is operated with the DMX filter in mode other than Zero Evaluation, the
manufacturer will not be held responsible for any unexpected behaviour under DMX control.
6.2.
DMX Arm Mode
o
Unlike regular SQP the WSQP normally requires the DMX safety channel signal to be in between
70% and 90% to arm with DMX. Legacy mode in which arming is done by raising the signal to 100%
as with regular SQP is also available.
6.3.
DMX Analysis
o
The WSQP has a built in DMX analyser. Press the UP and DOWN buttons to view the signal BREAK
and MAB times, the refresh rate and also number of bytes in the DMX packet. This can be helpful
to diagnose any DMX signal issues.
7.
Errors
o
Provides any detailed info on any error conditions seen by the system.
8.
Version
o
This menu item provides firmware version information for both the main CPU, and the COBRA
transceiver.
9.
Reset to Default
o
Provides an easy method of resetting the system to its factory default settings.
