ANALOG/DMX INSTRUCTIONS
14.
TIMERS
The ANALOG/DMX REMOTE CONTROL is equipped with timers to automatically
sequence the fog. To set the amount of time that the machine will make fog, turn the knob
marked
ON TIME
. The longest time that the ANALOG/DMX REMOTE will make fog is 2
minutes. By experimenting with the knob, the desired time can be determined. To set the
amount of time between bursts, turn the knob marked
OFF TIME
. The longest time between
bursts is 4 minutes. By experimenting with the knob, the desired time can be determined.
To turn the timers on, push the
TIMER
button located on the left side of the ANALOG
REMOTE. A yellow LED above the switch will light indicating that the timers are activated.
The on/off cycle will start with a burst of fog. The volume of the fog can be varied by turning
the
FOG VOLUME
knob until the desired level is reached. To turn the timers off, push the
TIMER
switch and the yellow LED will turn off.
Note:
For more accurate timer control or longer sequences, use the DIGITAL/DMX
REMOTE instead of the ANALOG/DMX REMOTE CONTROL.

DMX
The Rosco Delta 6000 has the option to be operated from a lighting control console using
USITT DMX 512/1990.
Attaching DMX cable:
Plug a standard 5-pin DMX cable to the connection marked
DMX IN
at the rear of the base unit. Note that the DMX signal can pass through to another device by
plugging another cable into the
DMX OUT
plug.
Note:
Like any DMX controlled device, if
the Delta 6000 is the last device in the DMX line then a terminator plug must be plugged into
the
DMX OUT
connection.
Setting the DMX address:
Using a small straight blade screwdriver, carefully turn the three
rotary switches to the desired channel up to 512. Each switch represents a digit.
Note:
If a
number higher than 512 is chosen the Delta 6000 will not recognize the channel.
Operating the unit:
Follow steps 1-4 above. When the selected DMX channel has a non-zero
value at the light board, the Delta will make fog. The percentage reading at the light board
corresponds to the output. (i.e., if the channel at the light board is set at “75%”, the Delta will
run at a volume of 75%.) To stop fogging, set the channel to zero. The selected channel can
be written into any cue. When the Delta 6000 is properly attached to a lighting console
generating a DMX signal, the amber LED marked “
DMX”
next to the rotary switches will
light. If the amber LED is not lit, then there is no DMX signal reaching the Delta.
Note:
While attached to a DMX signal, the Delta 6000 can also be operated manually or with
timers. Turning on the
TIMER
switch will supersede the DMX signal and the
FOG
switch
will supersede the
TIMER
switch.
