TO RECORD A SCENE
A DMX control device must be connected and used to
create the scene to be stored in the SR516.
Check that Scene Record Lockout is OFF.
1. Create a scene using the control console faders to
set dimmer channels to the desired levels.
2. Select the bank where you want to store the scene.
3. Hold down
REC
on the SR516 until its LED and
the scene lights begin to flash (about 2 sec.).
4. Push the button for the scene you want recorded.
The
REC
and scene lights will go
OFF
which
shows that recording was completed.
The
REC
and scene lights will stop flashing after
about 20 seconds if you do not select a scene.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to record other scenes.
SCENE ACTIVATION
Playback of scenes stored in the SR516 will occur
regardless of control console operation or status. This
means that scenes activated from the unit will add to
or “pile on” to the channel data from a DMX console.
TO ACTIVATE A SCENE
1. Set the SR516 to the desired scene bank.
2. Push the button associated with the desired scene.
The scene will fade in according to the fade time
function settings.
The scene light will blink until the scene reaches
its full level. It will then be ON. The blink
action can be disabled by a configuration option.
The scene activation buttons are toggles. To turn off
an active scene – push its associated button.
Scene activation can be either "exclusive" (only one
scene may be active at a time) or "pile on" (multiple
scenes on at the same time) depending on setup
function selections. During "pile on" operation -
multiple active scenes will combine in a "greatest of"
fashion with respect to channel intensity.
THE OFF BUTTON
The
OFF
button blacks out or turns off all active
scenes. Its indicator is on when active.
RECALL LAST SCENE
The
RECALL
button can be used to reactivate the
scene or scenes which were on prior to an OFF
condition. The
RECALL
indicator will light when a
recall is in effect. It will not step back through a
series of previous scenes.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. A valid DMX control signal must be present to
record a scene.
2. If a scene does not activate correctly – it may have
been overwritten without your knowledge.
3. If you cannot record scenes – check that the
record lockout option is not on.
4. Check that the DMX cables and/or remote wiring
are not defective. A MOST COMMON
PROBLEM SOURCE.
5. To simplify troubleshooting - set the unit to known
set of conditions. A factory reset can be
performed (see page 7).
6. Make sure the fixture or dimmer addresses are
set to the desired channels.
7. Check that the controller softpatch (if applicable)
is set correctly.
