3.6 i series e HHT – Local Mode – Force Dimmer –or- Dimmer Check
A dimmer check can be used any time you want to “force” the level of a dimmer to a particular point
disregarding the instructions of any incoming control signal. To perform a dimmer check, from the dimmer
view menu, press the (FORCE) button. You will see the following screen:
F O R C E D I M M E R # =
[ A T ] =
[ B A C K ]
To force a dimmer to a control level, follow the flashing box cursor:
1. The cursor will first prompt you for the most significant dimmer slot digit. After you enter the ‘tens’
digit, enter the ‘ones’ digit. Remember, these are the dimmer positions within the rack, not the DMX
channels they are patched to.
Follow the prompt and enter the control level. As soon as you enter the second control level digit, the
dimmer for will go to that level, and the cursor will jump back up to the most significant dimmer slot number
digit.
From this point, you can perform the following actions:
• The control level will decrease by approximately 10% each time the [DOWN] key is pressed,
• The control level will increased by approximately 10% each time the [UP] key is pressed.
• The [NEXT] soft key will increment to the next dimmer number, while keeping the current control
level active.
• The [LAST] soft key will decrement the dimmer slot number, while keeping the current control level
active.
The dimmer will go to the FORCE level except when:
1. There is a second control module on line. If a second control module is plugged in and
driving the dimmer circuit you wish to control, the force dimmer level will pile-onto the other
control modules’ drive level in a highest takes precedence (HTP) fashion.
