Leviton Piccolo Scan

4. Installation and Start Up

4.1. Warnings !

Do not expose the console to rain , moisture or condensation or damage may occur.

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt any repairs yourself, as doing so will void

the warranty. Please contact Leviton Technical Support if the console is not functioning properly.

If the console has been stored in a cold environment (below 40ºF), do not turn the power on until it

warms up or else damage may occur.

Make sure that the main’s power outlet matches the required voltage for your console.

Do not operate the console if the power cord is frayed or broken.

Do not remove the ground prong from the power cord. The ground prong is used to reduce the risk

of electrical shock and fire in case of an internal short.

Do not operate the console if it becomes damaged in any way.

Never operate the console with its cover removed.

4.2. Power On

If you observe any irregularity while unpacking the console (due to transportation damage, humidity, etc.)

do not attempt to switch on the console before contacting Leviton Technical Support.

1. Place the console on a flat surface.

2. Connect a proper DMX cable between the DMX-OUT port and the first DMX device (or splitter) in the

lighting system.

3. Connect an external monitor to the VGA connector using a standard video cable.

4. Connect the external power supply to the DC-IN connector. Connect power supply plug to the mains

supply. If needed, the console can be connected to a UPS to avoid mains problems.

5. Switch on the console (rear switch in position I).

6. Set the GM and SM faders to 100%. Check that their respective blackout key LED‘s are off.

7. The console is now ready for operation. Please continue reading this manual.

4.3. Console Reset

The first time the console is started, and whenever necessary, a reset should be done:

1. Switch console off.

2. Press and hold down [ ].

3. Switch console on.

4. After a few seconds, release [ ].

A reset command will return the console to the following default situation:

•

Channel fader levels will be set to 0%.

•

Any stored show data (cue, group, etc.) will be erased.

•

Preset default data

can be recovered (to enable this option, press [Menu][77]. If this option is not set,

the console will return to the manufacturer defaults).
