The control source for each GEN·VI channel can be either,
•
DMX Only
. Channels
configured for “DMX Only” are controlled by the DMX signal from a
lighting controller. Every DMX controlled channel can be set to be either a dimmer or a
“Trupower” switch. When set to Trupower,
o
The channel will switch ON when the DMX signal exceeds 60%.
o
The channel will switch OFF when the DMX signal drops below 40%
To select Dimmer or Trupower (switch) see section 5.7
•
Auto Power
.
Channels configured for “Auto Power” will be
automatically
switched ON
whenever any valid DMX signal is detected on the input to the GEN·VI. When DMX is no
longer detected, these channels will rema
in on for a programmable “hold time”. See section
5.8.4 to set the hold time.
Channels configured for “Auto Power” are used to provide switched
power whenever the lighting controller is switched on and hence a DMX signal is detected
on the input to the GEN·VI. Switched output provides direct power by utilising relays
guaranteeing there are absolutely no electronics in the circuit to interfere with connected
loads. “Auto Power” can only be selected if the channel is set to “TruPower”. See section 5.7
Global control of “Auto Power” can be enabled/disabled. See section 5.8.4
Select the required “Source” for the selected channel(s) then select
