ACTIVATING MOVING LIGHT SCENES 

 
Once a scene has been recorded - it may be activated manually from the SUBMASTER momentary buttons. It 
may be also entered into the CUE list and may be used as a chase step. 
 
MANUAL SCENE ACTIVATION 
 
1. 

Push MOVING LIGHT SCENES to enable activation.  Note that the display now shows the current scene 

 

bank for moving lights.  

 
2. 

To activate a moving light scene you must first select the bank in which it is stored. The display shows the 

 

current moving light scene bank in the upper left section as BANKM-nn, where nn is the bank number. 

 
 

Select the desired bank by pushing the SUBMASTER BANK button (which will cycle through the banks) OR 

 

enter the bank number on the keypad and then push the SUBMASTER BANK button.  

 
3. 

Push the SUBMASTER  momentary button that corresponds to the scene number (1-12) you want to 
activate.  The scene will be activated using the settings which were selected for each channel of the fixture. 

 
The  SUBMASTER faders will still operate conventional scenes according to the conventional scene bank 
number. This means that you can activate conventional scenes simultaneously with the moving light scene. 
 
If you push the MOVING LIGHT SCENES button after a moving light scene is turned on - the display will return to 
the current conventional scene bank.  The moving light scene will remain active.  You can now activate 
conventional scenes in other banks by selecting the desired bank and operate the scene using either the 
SUBMASTER faders or the SUBMASTER momentary buttons. 
 
MOVING LIGHT SCENES IN CUE'S OR CHASES 
 
The TL-2448 Cue List or any of the chases can use any of the moving light scenes in addition to conventional 
scenes.  See the section of the TL-2448 manual which applies to using cue lists and chase functions. 
 

TL-2448 WIRELESS OPTION 

 
The TL-2448 can optionally be provided with an internal RF transmitter module which transmits the DMX-512 
control signal.  It can operate with multiple compatible wireless DMX dimmers and/or receivers. The receiver units 
get the the same information they would get using a cable connected to the TL-2448 DMX connector. 
 
The wireless system uses the 2.45 GHz band and operates at low power (< 100mW).  The operating range is 
aproximately 1400 ft. indoors and about 4000 ft. for outdoor operation.  This range could vary significantly 
depending on the surrounding conditions. 
 
A link between a specific single wireless equipped TL-2448 and one or more compatible receiving units is invoked 
to enable wireless operation.  The linking operation is performed at the TL-2448.  Once linked, the receiver units 
can operate ONLY with that specific console.  The link is retained even when the receiver and/or console are 
powered off.  The receiver units may be released from the link either at the TL-2448 or at the receiver.  If  
released at the console then ALL linked receivers will be released.  If  released at the receiver then ONLY that 
receiver will be released. 

 

ANTENNA CONNECTION 
 
Carefully thread the antenna to the gold antenna connector on back edge of the unit.  It should be finger tight 
only.  The connectors can be damaged or jammed if  too tight. The antenna will swivel to a convenient orientation 
while connected.
