LCD MENU BATTERY OPERATION 

The LCD menu system utilizes a battery powered system for operation when the luminaire is not connected to 
power. The primary purpose of this mode is to allow basic setup and confi guration of the luminaire. 

To enable the battery operation of the menu system: 

Step 1. 

Press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds. 

Step 2. 

Once enabled, the menu will function as normal with only the following sub-menu sections active:

• Address

• Confi gure

• Setup

• DMX

• Fixture

NOTE

:  Any commands that require full power (calibrate, lamp strike, etc.) will be ignored while the menu sys-

tem is in battery operation mode. 

Step 3. 

To exit battery mode, press and hold [ESC] and [OK] for two seconds. Note, luminaire will automati-
cally exit this mode after one minute of inactivity. 

STATUS BAR 

The Status Bar is present at all times and displays luminaire operational information of the luminaire. The Status 
Bar contains the following information: 

• 

LAMP

 – indicates current lamp state - ON or OFF. 

• 

SHDN

 – indicates shutdown time in hours NO indicates NO shutdown time. 

• 

ERRORS

 – Displays a number indicating the total amount of current errors. When errors are present, 

messages will appear in Red text. When no errors are present, NO will display. 

• 

ADDR

 – Displays the current DMX address for the fi xture. NOTE, when the fi xture does not detect a DMX 

input signal, the DMX address text will display in Red text. 

LCD MENU PROXIMITY SENSOR 

The LCD menu system uses a proximity sensor to automatically enable the menu display (turn on the backlight) 
as you reach for the front panel. If the display is off , it will turn on when your hand is within a few inches of the 
display. Note, when the luminaire is not connected to power and the LCD menu is operating on battery, this 
proximity sensor is disabled.
