LAMP HOUR METER MODE
The display can be changed to a resetable hour meter that keeps a memory of total elapsed lamp
hours while ignited. This feature is useful in determining when a lamp should be replaced. Output and
performance will dramatically decrease while the possibility of lamp failure will increase if the lamp is
allowed to operate past its maximum rated life.
The HOUR METER mode will always display 4 digits, between “0000” and “6535” (unlike the DMX
ADDRESS mode that will display an “A” character followed by 3 digits). The timer can reach a maxi-
mum “6535” hours, and will rollover to “0000” when it is exceeded.
1. Plug the power cord into a power source and push the power switch/ circuit breaker to the ON
position.
2. The display will energize and show the HOUR METER mode. The display will show 4 digits total,
“0000” to “6535”. The fixtures should arrive from the factory preset at “0000” when the HOUR METER
mode is active.
3. To reset the HOUR METER to “0000”, depress all three NUMERIC SELECTION BUTTONS (triangles)
together and hold for approximately 5 seconds or until the display shows “0000”.
The display (when active) will show a moving decimal point when the HOUR METER mode is active and
the lamp is operating. The decimal point will float across the bottom of the display from the left to right.
This indicates the relay within the fixture is closed and the lamp is ON.
