Display on/off
If you wish the display to be lit only when a change in operation is made, the DIP switch
#8 (9) should be in the position off. Now if any of the buttons is not pressed for more
than approximately 25 seconds the display is switched off. As soon as one of the
buttons is pressed again, the display switches on immediately. In this case the first
touch of the button is ignored in respect to the normal function of that button.
■
Key lock
Pressing the MODE button (5) for longer than 3 seconds locks all the buttons (5-7) and
the rotary control (1). The display shows “LOC” in alteration to the mode (changing
every 2 seconds). Pressing the MODE button again for more than 3 seconds unlocks
the button- and rotary control-functions. Please note: If the display is in OFF-mode it
will take approximately 25 seconds before the display switches off. It will be switched
on again if any key is touched and will switch off again after 25 seconds if the keys are
not unlocked by the procedure mentioned above.
■
Termination
To avoid interference the last unit of a DMX-chain should be terminated. Therefore the
DIP switch #3 (9) of the last unit in the DMX-chain must be switched ON.
■
Software Maintenance (Boot loader)
The Maintenance (boot loader) function enables the unit to receive firmware updates
via the DMX connectors. This function is activated by DIP switch #2 (9). Please note
that use of this function and installation of a firmware update must be expedited by an
authorized service centre, please contact your dealer for details.
■
Switch on condition
The unit always returns to the last mode before it was switched off. In DMX Slave “SLA”
or DMX Mode “d” or DMX Preset Mode “P” all DMX values are cleared if power is
switched off.
■
DMX signal drop condition
The device will retain the status that it was in before the DMX signal got lost, but
potential tact settings will be automatically cleared.
