ETC sensor+ CEM+ - Record vs. Snapshot a Preset; Panic

CEM+ Procedures 47
Record vs. Snapshot a Preset
Record and Snapshot are two different operations.
Record will only use level information from Set Levels from the CEM+ modules in the group when
storing a preset.
Snapshot will use level information from all available sources to the CEM+ modules (DMXA, DMXB,
EDMX, sACN and Set Levels) when storing a preset.
Activate/Deactivate a Preset
You can toggle any preset on or off from either the web interface or the face panel. Stations are also
supported for preset activation, deactivation and recording. See
SmartLink Stations Enabled on page
63
for more information on SmartLink stations.
Max Active Presets
Maximum Active Presets defines how many presets can be active in any one given room at a time. It
can be set from a minimum of one (1) and to a maximum of four (4) at a time. Activating one preset
more than allowable by Max Active Presets will deactivate the active preset with the lowest priority or
if all active presets are at the same priority, the oldest previously activated priority.
Max Active Presets defaults to one (1) which results in a “last action” activation/deactivation manner.
(Turning on one preset turns off the previous preset.)
Panic
Panic is configurable for different external switch action types (maintained vs. momentary) and switch
resting states (normally-open vs. normally-closed). Panic always operates at the highest priority in the
CEM+ and no other control source can pile-on with it or override it.
Record Panic
Create the desired panic look by setting dimmer levels from the CEM+ or from a external control
source. Keep in mind that the Master Level acts as an intensity threshold for dimmers and determines
whether or not they are included in the panic. Only dimmers with an intensity level equal to or greater
than the Master Level will be included in Panic. When Panic is active, the dimmers will also playback at
the set Master Level.
Set the Panic Master Level to your desired level (80% to 100%).
Enable Force Others Off if you want load shedding to occur when Panic becomes active. What this
means is when Panic becomes active, any dimmers that are not included in Panic will be turned off.
Lastly, record Panic.
Activate Panic
Panic can be activated via an external switch closure or locally via the face panel menu. It cannot be
activated/deactivated via the web interface. Deactivation is also done by a switch closure (or lack of
one, depending on the switch action type) or locally via the face panel menu.
