The LED display can be set to go off after 5 seconds of no activity. Press Enter, scroll wheel to On
(permanently) or Off (after 5 seconds) and press Enter for 2 seconds to save settings.
Reset to Default
Press Enter for 2 seconds to reset all menu items to factory defaults:
DMX address = 001, Control Mode = 1 (67 channels HSI+FX), DMX Lost = Hold, Looks = default, Display =
On, Frequency = 360, System = CB2
System
The PSU-30 can be set to operate for the Color Block DB4 system (CB1) and the Color Block 2 system (CB2).
Press Enter, scroll wheel to select CB1 or CB2, press Enter for 2 seconds to save settings.
Frequency
The PSU-30 has four frequency settings available - 360, 600, 1200, 2400. This allows for the LED scan rate
to be synchronised with the video camera and avoid a flickering effect. Press Enter, scroll wheel to select
frequency, press Enter for 2 seconds to save settings.
Sync Mode
In normal operation internally generated FX should stay synchronised between PSU-30’s for approx 30
minutes. If better synchronisation is required a timing signal can be run via a RJ45 patch (not crossover) cable
between PSU-30’s. In order for this to work correctly one PSU-30 must be designated as the Master and all
the others must be set to Slave.
Press Enter and use the scroll wheel to select Master or Slave. Press Enter for 2 seconds to save setting.
