USER INTERFACE & MENU OPTIONS
PLEASE REFER TO ANNEX 1 MENU STRUCTURE FOR DETAIL ON HOW TO STEP THROUGH MENU
OPTIONS.
4.1.
On/Off
The unit is switched
ON,
on battery power, by pressing the silver button on the top plate of the unit.
If the unit is in Charge Mode on external power, pressing this button will have no effect.
The unit is switched
OFF
– but only disconnected from the battery - by pressing the RED switch on
top of the unit.
On mains power this red button will not switch off the unit
.
To switch off mains power the power cord should be disconnected at the wall.
After the unit is switched off, when reactivated with the “ON” switch the lighting unit will retain its
previous state prior to shutdown.
4.2.
MODE
The unit enters this menu option upon switch-on. Three modes are available on the unit:
•
‘SELF’-functioning using the on-board keypad and display or upgradeable to WiFi.
•
‘MASTER’ unit controlling others (Wireless DMX) [Wireless is an upgrade option].
•
‘SLV’ Slave unit controlled by a Master unit (Wireless DMX) or a lighting desk.
4.2.1.
MODE SELF
Two options are available within this mode: “SELF COLR” and “SELF CYCL”. These functions are also
available through WiFi on upgraded units.
“MODE SELF” is for self-contained units not needing to be linked to other units or lighting desks and
is suitable for many applications. In reality if multiple units are adjacent to each other and colour
cycling functions are selected then providing they are switched on simultaneously the clock accuracy
should maintain their synchronisation closely for a few hours.
Note the brightness of both options may be controlled using the dimmer (BRI%) function. It will
help preserve battery life if lower brightness is selected.
SELF COLOUR Option
This allows individual colours to be controlled on the unit menu from values of 0 to 255. This
provides around 16 million combinations.
