2.3 Modes of operation
Note:
a) The red button is used to scroll through the different modes of operation & the brown or black buttons are used to
select the level or value in that mode.
b) If any mode or value is changed the display will flash until the red button is pushed to save the change.
c) When the red record button is pressed, the unit will save the change & these new User defaults will take
precedence on the next power cycle or remote reset.
d) The unit will not save any change made by remote operation after the next power cycle.
e) Resetting the unit will return all of the user settings to factory defaults. Press & hold the red & brown buttons at the
same time to reset the unit.
DMX addressing mode
This mode is used to set DMX data address of the unit. The unit uses one or two DMX channels depending which mode it is
operating. The display shows the current DMX address (between 1-512).
To alter the value, press the brown or black button once to step the value; hold down the buttons for fast adjustment. Press
red to save the new setting.
Fan speed mode (Fn)
Fan speed mode is used to set the gel cooling-fan speed of the unit. This feature can be used in environments where a lower
noise level is required. The display shows the current gel cooling fan speed. There are four fan speeds, 1 is the slowest & 4
the fastest (the default is 4). To alter the value, press the brown or black button once to step the value; hold down the
buttons for fast adjustment. Press red to save the new setting.
This feature is also available via DMX (see "Remote operation" section of this manual).
Note: reducing the fan speed may reduce the life of the gel string.
Gel saver mode (GL)
Gel-saver mode is used to switch the gel-saving mode on or off. This feature slowly moves the chosen gel frame back &
forward slightly so that the heat build-up is dissipated over a larger area, extending the life of the gel string. Press the brown
or black buttons once to switch between On (1) & Off (0) (the default is Off). Press red to save the new setting.
This feature is also available via DMX (see "Remote operation" section of this manual).
Speed mode (SP)
Speed mode is used to set the maximum scrolling speed of the unit. This feature allows the gel string to move at a higher
speed for more rapid changes. Use of the high speed will generate more noise from the unit. Press the brown or black
buttons once to switch between Standard (1) & Fast (2) (the default is Standard). Press red to save the new setting.
This feature is also available via DMX (see "Remote operation" section of this manual).
Display mode (dP)
This mode is used to switch the default display On or Off. This feature can be used to blank the display when in normal use.
However the display will re-activate when any button is pressed. Press the brown or black buttons once to switch between
On (1) & Off (0) (the default is On). Press red to save the new setting.
