each channel’s circuit breaker on the front of the output modules. Multiple channels can be
selected. To select a range of channels, press and

When a channel has been selected, the selection number on the touch screen lights magenta

The available modes for each channel are,
•
ALWAYS OFF. The channel cannot be turned on,
except in “Emergency Mode”. See
section 4. Warning. Do not rely on this setting to isolate the power.
•
AUTO POWER. These channels will act as power switches and they will be
sequentially switched on (to minimise in-rush currents) either automatically by the
presence of their control source (if a control source has been selected) or manually
from the
CONTROL
button on the touch screen. See sections 3.6.2 and 3.10 for more
details
•
ALWAYS ON. The channel cannot be turned off (except by turning off its channel
circuit breaker). When power is applied, the channels will be sequentially switched on
in the same manner channels set to “Auto Power” mode above
•
SWITCH 60%-40%. The channel will act as a power switch and is individually
switched by the DMX level of a slot to which it is patched. When the level of the DMX
signal is 60% or higher the switch turns on. When the level of the DMX signal drops
below 40% the switch turns off. This is the best mode to provide remotely controlled
power to lighting fixtures and AV equipment.
•
RELAY 1%-0%. The channel will act as a power switch and is individually switched by
the DMX level of a slot to which it is patched. When the level of the DMX signal is 1%
or higher the switch turns on. When the level of the DMX signal drops to 0% the switch
turns off. Relay mode is particularly useful when the controlling device is programmed
