Dimmer
The dimmer curve setting (→) provides two options for dimmer behavior. Select to
simulate tungsten dimming or for more linear dimming.
Display
The display intensity (→) setting controls display brightness. Select for automatic
display or manually set the intensity to a level from
to .
The display on/off setting (
→) determines whether the display remains on (), remains on
for 2 minutes after the last key press (), or for 10 minutes after the last key press ().
To flip the display, press [Up] and [Down] simultaneously.
Lamp
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (→) and DMX Lamp Off
(
→).
When
is , the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is received. When is , the
lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When
is set to , the lamp strikes
automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it douses 15 minutes after DMX data is lost.
When
is set to either or , the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps
from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
The DMX Lamp Off (
) setting allows you to enable () or disable () the DMX command that
switches off the lamp. The special combination of DMX values listed on page 29 allows you to execute the
lamp-off command even when disabled.
DMX reset
The DMX reset (→) setting controls the behavior of the reset command. When set to , the
command is fully enabled. When set to
, the command is disabled to prevent accidental resets. When
set to , the command must be sent for five seconds. The special combination of DMX values listed on
page 29 allows you to execute a reset even when the command is disabled.
iris blackout
The iris blackout (→) setting enhances blackout effectiveness. When set to , the iris
deploys 3 seconds after dimmer blackout. This absorbs any light that may escape past the dimmer.
The iris takes a fraction of a second longer to open than the dimmer blades, however, so setting iris
blackout to
(the default setting) allows the fixture to snap open more rapidly after a blackout.
Custom settings
The custom configuration function → - allows you to save and recall three sets of
fixture settings. The savable settings are DMX mode, pan/tilt speed, pan/tilt inverse and swap, DMX lamp
off and reset, display settings, shortcuts, studio mode, automatic lamp on, effects feedback, tracking
algorithm, and tracking samples.
Readouts
Time
→ provides readouts of fixture hours (), lamp hours (), and lamp strikes ().
Under each item is a resettable () increment counter and a non-resettable () counter for total
accumulated hours/strikes since fabrication. To reset an increment counter, display it and then press [Up]
until it reads
.
Temperature
→ provides temperature readouts for the head, lamp, PCB and power supply in Celsius and
Fahrenheit.
