Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, lamp on/off and partial recalibration.
These must be executed with zero time transition or with timing disabled. Discrete values must be
used; not manual controls such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values).
WARNING: Light Beam Projects Intense Heat
Do not illuminate objects within 3.5 m (11.5 feet) of the VL3500™ Wash Luminaire. Objects within
this range can scorch, melt, or ignite from the heat projected by the light beam.
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Lamp On or Lamp Off - switches lamp on or off.
Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, zoom, etc.) without affecting others.
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 at
least 3 seconds.
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.)
