PLAYBACK OF PRESETS
Presets can be played back in one of two ways by “radio button” or “push on, push off” (POPO) mode. Selection of the preset
button mode is made via JP6. In “radio button” mode selecting a different preset releases the current active preset. The result
is a crossfade from the current preset to the newly selected one. The time taken to fade from the current preset to the new
preset is taken from the newly selected preset. Once the fade has completed it will rem ain at that current preset (static) until
another preset is selected. In “push on, push off” mode the presets pile on to each other in Highest Takes Precedence (HTP).
Each preset will fade in or fade out in the time assigned to the activated or deactivated preset.
In “push on, push off” mode pressing preset number 10(OFF) will release presets 1 through 9. Preset 10(OFF) is just like
presets 1 through 9 in that it can store a preset and have a fade time.
In “radio button” mode is possible to create an autofollow of all ten presets or less. To begin autofollow of all ten presets press
and hold the preset select button of preset number 1 (approximately 5 seconds) until all the LEDs flash once. Once the fade
time of a preset is complete the next preset will be selected automatically. When preset number 10(OFF) has been reached
the next preset to be selected will be preset number 1. To exit autofollow momentarily press any preset select button.
Note:
! If a static preset is playing at the time power is lost Preset 10 Architectural Two will return to that preset when power
is restored. The fade will begin with all 512 channels at 0% and fade up in the time recorded to that preset.
! If the Preset 10 Architectural Two was in autofollow playback at the time power was lost, the Preset 10 Architectural
Two will resume autofollow playback beginning with preset number 1.
! To bypass unused presets In autofollow enter the time as 999 seconds. This means the longest autofollow fade
time is 998 seconds.
PRESET NUMBER 10 (OFF) - SPECIAL FUNCTION
W hen the levels stored in preset number 10(OFF) are all zeros a special function is enabled. W hen preset 10 (OFF) is
selected and the crossfade has completed the Preset 10 Architectural Two will stop sending DMX. By ending DMX512
transmission, many moving lights and dimming systems will enter their standby mode.
GRAND MASTER
The grand m aster up and down buttons allow proportional control of the currently active preset. W hen the grand master is
at full (100%) the yellow LED adjacent to the GRAND MASTER UP button is illuminated. When the grand master is down
(0%) the yellow LED adjacent to the GRAND MASTER DOW N button is illuminated. Pressing the GRAND MASTER UP or
GRAND MASTER DOWN button once makes the grand master take one step. The grand master has a range of 254 steps.
Pressing and holding the GRAND MASTER UP or GRAND MASTER DOWN button will result in a continuous fade. It takes
5 seconds to fade the grand master fully up or down.
The grand master remains at its set level as long as the Preset 10 Architectural Two remains powered.
The grand master only affects the levels of the active preset and not the levels from the console.
FACE PANEL LOCKOUT
An optional face panel lockout feature can be enabled in the factory prior to shipment. This feature is not enabled by default.
If the feature has been enabled, it operates as described below:
To prevent misuse of the Preset 10 Architectural Two it can be locked out from accepting any button pushes. To lock the face
panel press the currently active preset button three times within one second. At the end of the third press all the green preset
LEDs will flash once to confirm the lock. The Preset 10 Architectural Two is now locked from accepting any button pushes.
To unlock the face panel press the currently active preset button three times within one second. At the end of the third press
there will be no confirming flash of the green preset LEDs.
