Model 1700 Page 5 12/07
The Rosco Model 1700 Remote Control is equipped with timers as standard epuipment. To
enable the timers, push the grey TIMER ON button on the remote. The green CYCLE LED
will be lit. To set the amount of time that the machine will make fog, adjust the FOG ON
knob. To set the delay between bursts, adjust the FOG OFF knob. The range of time for both
FOG ON time and FOG OFF time is 2-18 seconds.
NOTE: The numbers indicated by the FOG ON and FOG OFF knobs are relative and should
be used for reference only.
7. DAISY CHAIN (OPTIONAL)
The Rosco Model 1700 has the capability to control up to 4 machines from a single controller.
In this “Daisy Chain” process, the machine that controls the others is called the MASTER and
the others are called SLAVES. Make sure that a Remote Control is attached to the MASTER
machine as outlined in Step 2 and all Remote Controls are removed from all the SLAVE
machines. Connect a cable with a male 3-pin XLR connector at each end to the link socket on
the top of the MASTER machine and connect the other end to the remote connection on the
first SLAVE machine. Repeat the process from the first SLAVE machine to the next. As
many as 4 machines may be operated from a single remote. Operate the remote as outlined in
Steps 5 and 6 above.
8. DMX CONTROLLER (OPTIONAL)
The Rosco Model 1700 has the option to be operated from a lighting control console that uses
a DMX signal. After removing the Remote Control, attach the optional DMX Interface to the
remote control connection.
Attaching DMX cable: Plug a standard 5-pin DMX cable in the connection narked DMX IN
on the remote. Note that the DMX can pass through to another device by plugging another
cable into the DMX OUT plug.
Setting the address: To set the DMX address, use the dip switches located on the DMX
interface. The dip switches are based on the binary system, so the channel number must first
be converted to a binary number. (See illustration). When the dip switch is in the down
position, it is “on”. When there is a valid DMX signal, the LED next to the dip switches will
light. NOTE: The Rosco Model 1700 uses one DMX channel.
Operating the unit: Turn the power switch (I/O) on. If the DMX interface is plugged in the
machine will automatically start to heat up. This will be indicated by the red LED on the top
of the machine. When the machine reaches proper operating temperature, the green LED on
top of the machine will light. When the proper DMX channel is given a non-zero value, the
machine will make fog. The fog volume will be proportional to the value of the channel
setting.
Test Button: There is a red momentary test button located on the DMX Interface. This button
is operable if the machine is on and the DMX interface is plugged in. When the machine is at
proper operating tempearture (as designated by the green LED on top of the machine),
pressing the Test Button will momentarily make fog.
