24 Ion Operations Manual
Dimming Littlites
Desk lamps, such as Littlites, can be dimmed from within the software application. They can also be
dimmed using the desk lamp control knob on the rear panel.
Desk lamp controls are found in Setup> Desk> Brightness Settings>Light Levels. The {Desk Lamp}
slider has a range of 0% (dimmest) to 100% (brightest). The default setting is 0%. The console will
set the desk lamp to this setting on startup of the application. See Brightness Settings (on page150)
The desk lamps can also be controlled by holding down [Displays] and rolling the level wheel.
Outputting DMX
In order to output control levels from your console, you can use the DMX ports on the back of the
console and/or you may connect a Net3 gateway or Net2 Node. If your device receives Net3 or
ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is required.
Ion has two DMX ports. To output, connect one 5 pin XLR cable per port. The first port will default to
outputting the first universe of DMX, addresses 1-512, and the second port to the second universe,
outputting addresses 513-1024. Configuring DMX ports to something other than the defaults is
done in ECU> Local I/O> Local DMX Outputs.
See Local DMX Outputs (on page466) for information on reconfiguring the DMX ports.
Gateways will function with your console out of the box without previous configuration. However if
custom configuration is required, you will need to use Net3 Concert or GCE (Gateway Configuration
Editor). Concert is installed by default and can be accessed in ECU>Settings>Maintenance>Net3
Concert. Concert is available for download from our website, www.etcconnect.com. GCE software
can also be downloaded from the ETC website.
For more information on Net3 gateways, see the product literature that accompanied the hardware
or download it from our website, www.etcconnect.com.
Cleaning Your Console
Should the exterior of your console require cleaning, you may gently wipe it with a dampened (not
dripping), non-abrasive paper towel or soft cloth.
If this does not clean the console sufficiently, you may apply some window cleaner (containing
ammonia is fine) to the cloth and repeat the process until clean.
