Installation & User’s Manual
Control Channel Notes
The control channel adds the control to a variety of settings of the luminaire for multiple functions. This
channel defaults at zero (0) and has a specific command structure in order to eliminate the need for
additional channels. The control channel can control:
• Display Settings
• Fan Control and Fan Speed Settings / Settings for manual (local) fan control
• Zoom Control and Stop Settings / Settings for manual (local) zoom control
• Preset Recording/Saving and Deleting
• Fixture Reset
To use the control channel:
Step 1. Choose a setting you would like to store.
Step 2. Set the control channel to the desired value from control channel.
Note:
These settings must be performed without any channel scaling between each of the DMX values. It
is recommended that either a direct key entry is done from the console or use control channel macros.
Step 3. Wait 3 seconds.
Step 4. Return control channel to 0.
Recording Color Presets from a Console
Similar to recording a preset or “look” to a cue the AP-150 RGBW Par LED Luminaire can record and
playback a color preset from the lighting controller and store it locally in the luminaire’s memory. There are
twenty (20) user editable presets built into the fixture. This feature becomes very powerful when using
multiple AP-150 RGBW Par LED Luminaire's together or when looking for single channel play back of
prerecorded colors.
IMPORTANT!
Color presets can be recorded, edited, and stored. Color filters cannot be edited.
Recording a color preset from a control console:
Step 1. Set each color for your desired color mix.
Step 2. Using control channel select a color preset number to store the color mix.
Note:
These settings must be performed without any channel scaling between each of the DMX values. It
is recommended that either a direct key entry is done from the console or use control channel macros.
Step 3. Wait 3 seconds.
Step 4. Return control channel to 0.
