Using the menu
•
When not in the menu, the four digit display scrolls the
current DMX address and mode. The display’s right hand
decimal point (data dot) is used to indicate status (see below).
• Press to enter the menu. The four digit display will show
ADDR
.
• Use and to move between menu options (or to change a
value within an option).
• Press to enter an option (or to fix a changed value within an
option and return to the previous option level).
Note: If you do
not press to fix a value, operation will revert to the
previously set mode at the next power on.
• Press to exit from a menu option (and eventually
exit the menu completely).
General notes
•
Ensure that only one DMX
device in the chain is set
as master (e.g. the lighting
desk). This fixture is usually
set to slave mode.
• This fixture is shipped with
the DMX address set to
001
.
• The four digit display can
be set to switch off when
not in use. To restore, press
. To alter this mode use:
PERS

Chase effects
This section describes each of the 31 internal chase effects
that are selectable either via the control menu (
prog
>
c1
/
c2
>
EFEC
) or using DMX values sent from an exter-
nal source. To use the internal effects, set the
mode
option
either to
ef m
(to control effects via the menu) or
EF d
/
4+E
(to control effects externally via DMX).
See page 4 for
details about controlling effects on other fixtures via DMX
without using a control desk.

Channel layouts within operation modes
The table below shows how colour mixing, chase effects and master intensity
controls are mapped to DMX channels for each mode. The
dmx
and
16bt
modes
do not use chase effects. In all modes, the first channel of the fixture occurs at the
DMX address selected using
addr
and successive channels for the fixture follow
from there.
Note: The
PERS
>
RES
option determines the number of channels to use in
DMX
and
16bt
modes (
16bt
uses twice the number of channels setup within
RES
).

Dimming options
(
PERS
>
DIMR
)
You have a choice of dimmer
curve control options:
FINE
is the standard setting
and is fully compatible with the
dimming curves of previous Pixel
Range fixtures.
TV
uses dimming frequencies that
will eradicate any visible flicker
when viewed by video cameras
and broadcast systems.
TUNG
Alters the dimming response
to closely emulate the very smooth
action of standard tungsten bulbs.
The
TUNG
setting can be used with
all operation modes. However,
within the effects modes (
EF M
,
4+E
and
EF D
), the
TUNG
setting
will only be effective if the
C1
/
C2
speed option is less than
25
and
the
C1
/
C2
XFADE
option is less
than
127
.
Master/slave/data indication
The right hand decimal point (data dot) of the display is used
to indicate the master/slave settings and also the presence of
a DMX input signal, as shown below:
Notes:
•
Ensure that only one DMX device in the chain is set as
master (e.g. the desk).
•
Use
PERS
>
data
to change between master & slave modes.
•
When set to master mode, the fixture will scroll
MASTER
in
place of a DMX address (when not within the menu).
•
If the display has been set to auto off (
disp
>
aoff
), the
data dot will remain active but at a lower brightness.
Data dot ON
Master mode
Data dot FLASHING
Slave mode (DMX data input present)
Data dot OFF
Slave mode (no DMX data present)
