Notes - Sequence Options
Adjusting the sequence crossfade or dwell
times will be applied to the sequence if it is
currently running, when the ENT key is
pressed.
X-Fade Time - is the time it takes to fade
between two steps in a sequence. The
default crossfade time is 1 second.
Dwell Time - is the time that the outputs
remain on the values in the current step of
the sequence before fading to the next step.
The default dwell time is 1 second.
Security
The Security menu option is always
available regardless of the current lock
level of the Master Controller.
It is necessary to enter the correct four
digit lock code to gain access to the
Security menu options.
Setting the lock level determines which
of the main menu options will be
accessible on the Master Controller
(see Figure 3 - 3 for further details).
Setting the lock level also sends out
security messages onto the network
which result in the networked dimmers
and control panels being locked or
unlocked as shown in the table below:
Lock
Level
Dimmers
Control
Panels
0 Unlocked Unlocked
1 Locked Unlocked
2 Locked Unlocked
3 Locked Unlocked
4 Locked Locked
There is also an option under Security
which allows the user to change the
lock code.
Networked Dimmers
Networked dimmers may also be
locked locally to prevent menu access.
This will not prevent the dimmer from
being controlled from the Master
Controller or control panels connected
to the Chilli network.
Control Panels
Ten button Chilli control panels on the
network can also be locked locally to
prevent memory and sequence
playback, if required.
