OPERATION – DMX model:
If controlled with DMX, the machine consumes one channel only, and reads all channels between 001 and
255. The machine is ON at DMX level 77 (approx. 30%).
ON / OFF can be controlled with DMX or manually.
Control with DMX signal only:
•
[machine must be switched OFF] Select a DMX address between 001 and 255: (left knob is 100´s,
middle knob is 10´s, right knob is units).
EXAMPLE:
To set DMX address no. 168, rotary switches are set:
1 – 6 – 8.
•
Connect a DMX cable to the XLR connector. The DMX cable is linked to a standard DMX 512 source
(i.e. a light desk).
•
Switch the power on by set mains switch to ”1”. When the level of the selected DMX address is 77 or
more, the machine is on. When the level is 76 or less, the machine is off. The green LED indicates the
machine is switched on by the DMX electronics.
•
If the DMX source is manually controlled with potentiometers make sure the potentiometer is not
adjusted only around level 77. It can make the machine to go on and off. The output cannot be
controlled with the DMX level, only with the operate intervals. The best way to control the machine
without the risk of an unwanted start or stop, is to set the level to 0 (0%) for off, and 255 (100%) for
on.
Manual control without DMX:
•
Set the right manual override mains switch to ”1”. The machine is switched on / off with the left mains
switch.
NOTE: The green LED will not indicate that the machine is on if the machine is switched on manually,
without the use of DMX.
Remote controlled from external sources:
Ultimate 300 – standard or DMX models – can be controlled with the use of external control units.
EXAMPLE Problem
: A standard model (without integrated DMX) must be controlled from a DMX
light desk.
Solution
: Use a DMX controlled relay or switch unit that switches mains power on / off.
Set the machine’s mains switch to ”1” and let the external relay or switch unit control
mains supply to the machine.
The same solution is able to use in a 0-10V application, but with the use of a 0-10V relay
or switchpack.
When external units are used for control of mains power, ensure that:
•
No dimmer packs are used. The machine must be supplied with no (off) or full (on) mains voltage.
•
Various voltage or frequency will damage the machine.
