MODE 8 - CONTINUOUS OPERATION MODE
Mode 8 - Continous Fade Mode
In situations such as exhibitions, a continuously changing colour may
be required. This has normally needed a control console to give
constantly variable control input to the colour changer. This is a
costly solution and also limits the resolution of the fade to the 8-bits
of DMX. Mode 8 in the Pluscard allows the user to set up a smooth
fade across the complete length of the Gel String, whilst the Rainbow
is only supplied with 24 volt DC power.
To select this feature simply set the Mode Selector to 8.
TIMING OF AUTOMATIC FADES
The fade timing is controlled by the Frame switch. Set the Frame
switch to 1 for the slowest fadetime, and F for the fastest fadetime.
Setting the Frame switch to 0 stops the movement.
In order that many Rainbows may be synchronised to each other, the
Pluscard will reset to zero on power-up. After a preset time (approx
25 seconds), the continuous operation will start with all colour
changers synchronised together.
FAN CONTROL DURING AUTO OPERATION
When Mode 8 is selected, the internal fan on the 15" Plus is controlled
from the Fan switch on the lower front panel.
