LCD DISPLAY A 2 line, 16 character per line, LCD display is
used to set up, and indicate the status of, the ChromaFlood and
ChromaBatten.
At switch on, the display shows:
Press the ñ (Up) or ò (Down) keys to cycle through the Menu
Options (see LCD Display Sheet).
Press the X key on the UIM to change the settings.
Note: Program Mode self cancels after ~30 seconds if no keys have
been pressed.
Note: if, at any time, the display shows Receiving: ERROR, then
there is a problem with the DMX signal. It could be wiring,
termination or poorly implemented DMX.
? DMX Address – depending on the operating mode, a block
of 3, 6, 9, 10, 36, 42 or 46 channels is received from the DMX signal
– see Channel Assignments Tables. The DMX Address is the
number of the first channel in the block.
To set the required DMX Address, press the ñ or ò keys on the
UIM until the display shows DMX Address:
Press the X (change) key on the UIM, then set the start address
using the ñ or ò keys. These keys repeat if held down.
When the required DMX Address number shows in the display,
press the ü (Yes) key to save changes or X (Back) key to restore
the previous settings.
Note: the Receiving: text (NO SIGNAL / PMX / DMX / ERROR) in
the display is for information only.
? ChromaZone Mode - the unit can be run in similar modes
to the ChromaZone. The options are 3, 6, 9, 10, 36, 42 and 46
channel modes – see Channel Assignments Tables.
To set the required Mode, press the ñ or ò keys on the UIM until
the display shows ChromaZone Mode:
Press the X (change) key on the UIM, then select the required mode
using theñ or ò keys.
When the required ChromaZone Mode shows in the display, press
the ü (Yes) key to save changes or X (Back) key to restore the
previous settings.
? Channels per Fixture – the CFLD and CBAT can be run
in 3 channels per fixture or 6(CFLD) / 9(CBAT) channels per fixture
modes. The 6/9 channel modes allow a chase to be run across the
fixture. This is particularly effective in the CBAT where the Batten is
divided into 3 fixtures, each of RGB.
To set the required number of Channels per Fixture, press the ñ or
ò keys on the UIM until the display shows Channels per Fixture :
Press the X (change) key on the UIM, then select the required

? Fixture number: the 36 RGB outputs from the built in
ChromaZone are divided into fixture groups. 36 divided by the
channels per fixture (set above) gives the number of fixtures available
from the data block.
For example, if you set the channels per fixture on a CBAT to 9, the
maximum number of fixtures available will be 4. See the Channel
Assignments Table for channel and fixture number colour details.
To set the required fixture number, press the ñ or ò keys on the
UIM until the display shows Fixture number:
Press the X (change) key on the UIM, then select the required

"Last DMX Packet".
1. No Signal + Use Stand Alone Mode:
The current Stand Alone Settings may be viewed, changed and
saved as the new Stand Alone Settings.
2. No Signal + Use Last DMX Packet:
The channel levels of the Last DMX Packet (if any) may be viewed,
changed and saved as the new Stand Alone Settings.
3. Signal present:
The incoming signal overwrites any changes made but these
incoming channel levels may be set at the controller, viewed and
saved as the new Stand Alone Settings.
