SHOWMATION  AUTOMATION

You should set each Controller’s ID Code to
match the screen number.

 This way the

WATCHDOG Annunciator Panel(s) will indi-
cate the system status properly for each screen

Operator Panel

Find a suitable place in the console for the Oper-
ator Panel to mount. The panel is a 3½” high by
19” wide rack mount which will fit any stan-

Configuration

Pulse or latch operation (Diagram on Page 11)

The Controller has several functions which may
be configured for either pulse or latch operation:
lens, masking, and lights. The Douser function
is always pulse mode, and the Curtains function
is always latch mode. There are 5 DIP switches
in the DIP switch package labeled SW2 which
are used to set these functions to either pulse or
latch modes. If the switch is UP (off) then the
mode is pulse. If the switch is DOWN (on), then
the mode is latch. In the pulse mode, the appro-
priate relay(s) will close for one second and then
open. In the latch mode, the relay(s) will close
and remain closed as long as that function is se-
lected.

In Version 4.00 of the software, only the lens,
masking, and lights are selectable as pulse or
latch. The douser function is ALWAYS pulse
mode. The curtains function is ALWAYS latch
mode. Future versions of the software will al-
low the douser and curtains to be either pulse
or latch. The software version is listed on the
label on top of the micro-controller IC labeled
U8 on the Controller printed circuit board.

Annunciator ID (Diagram on Page 11)

There is another DIP switch package labeled
SW1 on the Controller printed circuit board.
These DIP switches set the Identification Code
for each Controller to allow proper communica-
tion with the optional WATCHDOG Annuncia-
tor Panel(s). 

Each Controller must be set to a

unique

               ID Code so that the WATCHDOG An-
nunciator Panel(s) will be able to tell which
Controller is sending information about the
system status.

There are 32 possible codes which can be se-
lected. To set a code, push the appropriate
switches DOWN (on). Use the following table to
determine the ID Codes for each Controller.
