Overview 5
You must set an IP address for any personal computer you plan to use on an ETCNet2 or Net3 network.
ETC recommends that the personal computer used on a lighting network is dedicated to that network
so changes to network settings are kept to a minimum. See
Configure Your Computer for an ETCNet2
Network
on
page 37
for setting up your computer.
Sensor+ Dimming System Features
Play back Presets from the CEM+
The CEM+ module provides 128 Presets that can be recorded from EDMX, sACN, DMX, or directly set
levels. You can configure each Preset’s name, fade times and playback priority. Presets can be assigned
to any one of four Rooms in the configuration. Sensor+ systems can also have the Group play back a
Preset in case of data loss.
Sensor+ Connect for Feedback
Sensor+ Connect duplicates the functions of the CEM+ module on a PC or Net3 console on the lighting
network. The Web browser interface allows you to check rack and dimmer status as well as reconfigure
dimmer curves, record and activate presets, load and backup configurations, and many other features.
Access to the CEM+ and Sensor+ Connect configuration features is protected by specific user levels
and passwords to limit system-altering features to selected personnel, while allowing basic operational
functions to a wider range of users.
Advanced Features
Sensor+ Advanced Features (AF) racks provide additional reporting features that help you to quickly
learn the status of your dimming system and diagnose problems. AF dimmer modules indicate the
presence of data and the relative output of power with LED indicators on the modules themselves.
Much more information can be displayed on the CEM+ module’s integral LCD display or a PC on the
network running Sensor+ Connect in a web browser.
Advanced Features provides the ability to record and monitor individual dimmer loads, provide error
messages such as dimmer removed, SCR fail, breaker trip and other monitoring tools. Constant
comparison of actual dimmer loads against the recorded value lets the system signal you when a load
value changes. The change usually indicates a lamp has burned out or failed, allowing you to make an
immediate replacement.
Dimmer Doubling (60Hz systems only)
ETC’s Dimmer Doubler technology allows you to double the number of controllable circuits in your
system without adding dimmer modules or running additional cable. The key to this feature is the
Dimmer Doubler two-fer.
The Dimmer Doubler two-fer is installed between a Sensor dimmer module and two ETC Source Four
77 volt fixtures. It splits the output of a single dimmer into two, separately-controlled outputs. You can
then use an ETC control console to independently control the output of the two fixtures.
Note:
If the computer you wish to use is currently being used on a non-ETCNet2
network, consult your Network Administrator before changing the IP address,
Subnet Mask, or Gateway IP addresses.
Note:
Sensor+ Connect and Message logging are available on Emphasis Servers as a
base functionality.
