Atom Operator Manual Introduction
LSC Lighting Systems (Aust) Pty. Ltd. 4
At any point in this manual where the model affects the operational description, the text will describe the 12/24
channel model followed by the other model in brackets.
For example,
“The Yellow preset has faders for channels 1 to 12 (24)”.
In both models, the lower half of the channels are referred to as the low channels and the upper half are
referred to as the high channels
For example, in an Atom 12/24, channels 1 to 12 are the low channels and channels 13 to 24 are the high
channels.
1.6 Keystroke Terminology
Certain keystroke terminology is used throughout this manual to describe the particular operations being
undertaken. Any text enclosed in these symbols, [ ] , refers to when that particular key needs to be pressed.
For example; Press [PAGE], means to press the page key located near the top right of the Atom.
SOLO/ASSIGN keys are often abbreviated to S/A. If the key to be pressed is a SOLO/ASSIGN key (of which
there are many) then it will be identified by naming it as follows;
[SOLO/ASSIGN] (Name) or the shortened version, [S/A] (Name).
For example;
Press [S/A] (GRAB), refers to the Grab master's SOLO/ASSIGN key.
or; Press [S/A] (5), refers to the channel 5 SOLO/ASSIGN key.
Any information that appears on the 7 segment displays is printed in “quotes”.
SECONDARY FUNCTIONS
• Red preset S/A keys have secondary functions that are activated by holding down the FUNCTION key
and tapping the S/A key. These secondary functions are printed on the front panel below their S/A keys.
For example; Press and hold [FUNCTION], tap [S/A] (PRINT), refers to the SOLO/ASSIGN key in the
bottom left corner of the Atom.
• Some Yellow preset solo keys have hidden secondary functions that are activated by holding down the
FUNCTION key and tapping the S/A key. These secondary functions are not labelled but are described in
the “Diagnostics” section of the “UTILITIES” chapter.
• There are 3 RECORD keys described as:
[RECORD] (Scene) [RECORD] (Chase) [RECORD] (Copy)
These keys have secondary functions that become active when recording or editing Chases. They are
respectively;
[RECORD] (Add Step) [RECORD] (End Chase) [RECORD] (Delete Step)
• The < and > keys below the Edit wheel have secondary functions in that they are used to answer either
“Yes” or “No” respectively to questions that appear on the display when you are performing certain
actions. They are typically used to confirm the action that you have selected.
For example;
To perform a SYSTEM RESET;
Press and hold [FUNCTION], tap [S/A] (RESET), release [FUNCTION].
The display asks “System Reset ?”. Press [YES]
