Control Channel Functions
The following control actions must be accomplished with zero time transition or with timing disabled.
Discrete values must be used and not manual controls such as faders or encoders.
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 84 for reset). Hold value for 3
seconds.
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does not allow for a
“snap” value change, which is required to affect the control functions.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling values. Action will
be voided if other values are detected between action value and zero.)
The following pages contain the control channel function maps for the VL440 spot, VL770 spot, and
VL880 spot luminaires. Refer to the corresponding control channel functions table for your fixture.
Control channel information is segregated into four sections:
• “VL440 Spot Control Channel Functions” on page 56
• “VL770 Spot Control Channel Functions” on page 57
• “VL880 Spot Control Channel Functions” on page 58
