CONTROLLING CHASER CHARACTERISTICS
You can control seven characteristics of a chase
pattern. These controls are described as follows:
**Overrides remote switch setting.
The default setting is the factory set value.
All of these characteristics can be set via the RD122
menu system. See the diagram STRUCTURE OF
MENU SYSTEM for a complete layout of menu
system operation.
CREATING YOUR OWN CUSTOM CHASE
PATTERN
The programmable chase pattern is created by
setting the intensity for all dimmer channels for each
step in the chase. The chase step is then recorded.
This action is then repeated for each additional step
to be recorded. The channel intensities can be set
either from the RD122 front panel as in manual
operation or by using a control console.
TO SAVE A CHASE STEP:
1.
Create the step from a control console or from
the front panel of the dimmer itself by activating
the applicable channels. Channel intensities
are recorded as either full ON or full OFF. If
you want a given channel to be on for a chase
step then the channel must be set to greater
than 50 % intensity. Note that the overall
intensity of the whole chase pattern may be set
using the menu system.
2.
Press and hold the front panel
