Setting the top and end positions 

When the Mini Roll Down is ready, the first step is to set the soft-limit top and bottom positions. 
See  channel  description  for  channel  4,  5  and  6  above.  When  the  range  has  been  set  once  on 
channel 6 it is saved and does not need to be set again unless a new range is needed. 
 

Example: 

 

DMX channel 4 is set to 62% 

  Soft-limit save enabled. 

 

DMX channel 5 is set to 30% 

  The roll starts moving up. 

 

DMX channel 5 is set to 0% 

  The roll stops, and the soft-limit top position is saved at 

this point. 

 

DMX channel 6 is set to 30% 

  The roll starts to move down. 

 

DMX channel 6 is set to 0% 

  The roll stops, and the soft-limit bottom position is also 

saved. 

 
The Mini Roll Down is now ready for use and the soft-limit top and bottom positions have been 
saved. Finally, the position control with channel 1 and 2 is now relative to the top and bottom soft-
limits settings.  
 
It is recommended to set the soft-limit top position after each power-up, however, moving the 
roll  to  the  top  position  before  powering off  should  lead  to  identical  top  and  bottom  positions 
whenever the unit is repowered, provided that the drum position was not manually changed or 
the drum return to the top position was interrupted by a power failure, furthermore excessive 
transportation conditions may also affect the drum position. 

 

For further guidance see below illustration for application of the soft-limits.
