Strand 301 Console Manual Page 11
Setup
Plug the appropriate power adaptor into the console where
shown. Plug the male end into the appropriate electrical service.
Plug the DMX512 cable from the dimmer rack into the DMX512
output of the 301 console.
This may already be attached to the DMX512 output of the
lighting system’s main lighting console. The DMX512 output to
the lighting system needs to run to the 301 first. This will allow
the 301 to send the back up cues to the dimmers should the
main console fail.
Plug a DMX512 cable from the main lighting console’s first
DMX output to the DMX512 input of the 301.
This DMX512 universe will be captured during back up
recording of cues.
Make sure the Master / Slave switch is set to master.
If this is correct, once the console is on, no matter what mode
the console is in, at the center of the bottom line on the LCD
screen, it will say <Ms> for master. If in slave mode, it will show
<sl> for slave.
<Ms>
<sl>
Important Note: Before connecting the console up, please remove the protection
sheet for the back-up battery, which is located at the bottom of the console.
