Chillinet:
Remote control of the Switch 6 is possible using the
Chillinet connectors mounted on the front panel. Each unit
on a Chillinet system must have a unique unit number.
To enable Chillinet and set the unit number, Select
‘Chillinet’
using the ‘Mode’ button.
Set the unit number using the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows and
press ‘Enter’, to confirm. The display will flash the unit
number while it is checked against other units on the
network.
If the unit number is found to be unique, then the display
will return to being steady. If the unit number already exists
on the network, the display will show ‘---‘.
‘---‘ indicates that Chillinet is disabled. To disable Chillinet,
hold down the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows together.
Memory selection from Chillinet is only possible when a
DMX control signal is not present.
The Chillinet network incorporates an ‘Alarm’ feature. If an
Alarm message is received from another unit on the
network, then the Switch 6 will fade all outputs to 80%, and
the display will show ‘ALA’. In this state, all other control
(INCLUDING OVER TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN) is
disabled.
Note that the Switch 6 calculates fades internally, with the
output transition occurring at a fixed level of 50%.
Super User:
The unit has a number of hidden functions, located in the
Super User Menu. The super user menu’s can only be
accessed from the
Default
mode (No LEDS Lit). To enter
Super User press and hold the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows
together and press and hold the ‘Mode’ button for 5
seconds. All the mode LED’s will flash to indicate the unit
is in super user mode.
The ‘Up & Down’ Arrows are used to cycle through the
various super user functions. Pressing the ‘Mode’ button at
any point will revert to normal operation. If no buttons are
pressed after 20 seconds the unit will automatically revert
to normal operation.
Unit Lock/Unlock
Press the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows until the display shows
“LOC”.
Press ‘Enter’ to confirm this action. The unit will
revert to the Default mode. Pressing the ‘Mode’ button now
will only cycle between
Manual Control
and
Default
Mode.
If Super User is entered when the unit is locked, only the
unlock function will be available. The display will show
“UNL”.
To unlock the unit, press and hold the ‘Enter’
button for 5 seconds. The unit will unlock and exit super
user returning to the Default mode.
DMX Termination:
Press the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows until the display shows
“ter”
. If the unit is terminated a dot will appear at the
bottom of the last segment. Pressing the ‘Enter’ button will
toggle between the two states.
Resetting The Unit:
Press the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows until the display shows
“rst”
. Press ‘Enter’ to confirm. The display will flash briefly
to confirm this action. The unit will be reset to its default

Firmware Version:
To identify which version of firmware is loaded in the unit,
press the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows until the firmware version is
shown in the display
(e.g. 1.03)
The ‘Enter’ button has no
use here. (The firmware version will also be shown briefly
on start up).
Internal Temperature:
Press the ‘Up & Down’ Arrows until the temperature is
shown in the display, shown as
xxC
, where xx is the
temperature in Centigrade. The ‘Enter’ button has no
function in this mode.
Servicing Functions:
Versions of firmware prior to 1.03 include other functions
within Super User, which are used for servicing and
maintenance purposes. It is strongly recommended that
these are only accessed by Zero 88 staff or an appointed
Zero 88 dealer. From firmware version 1.03 onwards,
these functions are hidden in normal operation.
