EXTERNAL MEMORY CARD
The SM-280 is supplied with a 4 MB external
memory card which can be used to automatically
record scene and chase program data. When a card is
installed, the Memory Select button can switch the
controller between its internal memory or the external
card. Controller/Fixture initial setup data is always
from internal memory.
External memory card operation is active when the
RED indicator on the Memory Select button is ON.
The card is a special purpose device intended ONLY
for use with the SM-280 controller. It cannot be used
with other devices.
If you install and activate the card when programming
scenes and chases then that information will be saved
to the card. If the card is active when you operate the
unit then the scene and chase data will come from the
card instead of the internal memory.
FOG MACHINE CONTROL
The rear panel of the SM-280 has a IEC connector for
remote control of certain fog machines. It looks like
a computer power cable connector.
DO NOT PLUG THIS CONNECTOR INTO A POWER
SOCKET OR APPLY AC LINE POWER TO IT.
The controller will be damaged if this is done.
If properly connected to a compatible fog machine
then the indicator on the controller FOG MACHINE
button will light when the fog machine is ready to use.
The FOG MACHINE button can be used to activate
the machine.
