Dimmer Cabinets with Digital Controls
Revision G November 2006
Step 13F: Assigning Luma-Net and/or DMX512
Channels
The a-2000D can assign dimming channels to various Luma-Net and/or DMX512
control channels within the software; no wiring changes are necessary.
Assigning Numbers Automatically
For a simple configuration, the first control channel number is defined as a
system-wide address (the factory default is 0001), and the system automatically
assigns the control channel numbers in numerical order to the dimming zones
(dimmers) within the dimmer cabinet. If a second dimmer cabinet is connected,
its system-wide address can be set (to 0025, for example), and the dimmer
circuits are assigned beginning with that number.
To change the system-wide addresses:
1 Press the UP button until the LCD display shows Menu Setup.
2 Press the Select/Save button.
The LCD display shows
Enter Setup Code = 999
.
3 Press the UP and DOWN buttons to change the 999 to the
actual setup code.
The unit is now unlocked so changes can be made.
4 Press the Select/Save button.
The LCD display shows
Setup Menu Setup Modules?
.
5 Press the DOWN button once to set up the Luma-Net start address,
or press the DOWN button twice to set up the DMX 512 start
address.
6 Press the Select/Save button.
The flashing moves from the description to the number.
7 Press the UP and DOWN buttons to change the flashing number
to the desired new address.
8 Press the Select/Save button to store the new address.
The flashing returns to the description.
9 Press the Cancel/Clear button twice.
Returns to the top level menu.
Assigning Individual Control Channels
You might need to assign control channels in a sequence other than the
automatic assignment described above. This can happen when single rather than
dual dimmers are installed, and you do not want to lose the continuity of the
numbering system due to the loss of the second module circuit.
After completing most of the assignments using the system-wide method
described above, the individual dimming channels can be further modified.
