mode and save any changes. If you do not press MENU after making changes, they
will be lost when the unit is powered down.
The windows are:
POWER OFF
Press the (+) button for a soft power down. In this mode, the FF-151 goes
into a soft sleep. The LCD panel light is also extinguished. The FF-151 will
immediately resume operation immediately when any of the five
pushbuttons are pressed.
OUTPUT MODE
From this window, you can choose between lightning or dimming effects. The
dimming mode is used when you wish to simulate a power failure.
LEVEL
LEVEL sets the sensitivity of the lightning channel. If it is set too low, sound
will not trigger “lightning”. If it is set too high, the lights will be on constantly
during most “lightning strikes”. The range of this control is 0-25. The factory
default setting is 15.
DIMMER DEPTH
When in the dim mode, this control determines the depth of the dimming
effect. This is quite similar to the LEVEL control when in the lightning mode.
THRESHOLD
The threshold setting adjusts the minimum voltage applied to your lights at
all times. Proper adjustment increases the sensitivity and range of lights
connected to your FF-151. Adjustment is achieved by increasing the setting
until your lights just begin to glow, then reducing the setting until they go
out. This is a critical adjustment with a range of 0-50. Factory default is 4, but
the number may be considerably higher, depending on your lights.
MAXIMUM DIMMER LEVEL (dim mode)
This setting adjusts the maximum brightness when in the dimming mode.
The range is 0-20 with a factory default of 10.
MENU BACKLIGHT
With a range of 0-10 and a factory default of 9, this adjustment controls the
brightness of all menu screens, except the main “run” window.
MAIN SCREEN BACKLIGHT
Range is 0-10, with a factory default of 1, this adjustment is for the main
“run” window. Generally this channel is adjusted to dim the screen while
running.
