Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, lamp on/off and partial
recalibration. These must be executed with zero time transition or with timing
disabled. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls such as faders or
encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Lamp On or Lamp Off - switches lamp on or off.
Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, gobo, zoom, etc.)
without affecting others.
* For arc models, the dimmer will close during each recalibration action.
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 84 for reset). Hold
value for 3 seconds.
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does
not allow for a quick value change, which is required to effect the control functions.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling
values. Action will be voided if other values are detected between action
value and zero.)
