connected, and what DMX channels it has to use to control them. You can also set
other options about how the heads behave. You enter Head Setup mode by holding
down the Head button for about 2 seconds
Note: You won’t be able to select this option if the controller is in ‘Playback
Only’ mode.

1: Reset Heads
You can reset any or all of the lighting effects connected to the controller. This can be
useful if the heads lose position for some reason, and enables you to quickly re-
initialise heads without having to turn the power off and on.
Note: Only CE range effects with software version 2 or above (August 96) will
respond to remote reset.

heads will not respond to the controller again until they have completed the reset
