NON-DIM
Dimmers can be patched and operated as a Non-Dim. A
Non-Dim goes from 0 to 100% instantly. It is your On/Off
switch for circuits that can not be dimmed. You may use a
Non-Dim to turn on a fog machine, mirror ball, prop radio or
TV. To assign a dimmer as a Non-Dim you need to select
the DMR and assign it to a CHN then you hit the [At] [.]
followed by a LEV. The LEV in this case is the position in the
fade where the Non-Dim turns On or Off. So if you wanted to
make DMR 5 a Non-Dim which would turn On as Channel 3
gets to 65% the sequence would be; [5] [At] [3] [At] [.] [6] [5]
[Enter]. Note that on the screen there is a red ‘N’ next to the
LEV of 65. The red ‘N’ tells you that the associated dimmer is
now a Non-Dim (On/Off).

PARKING
Parking a dimmer allows you to turn a dimmer on to a
specific level that will can not be turned off with the
Grandmaster fader or the Blackout switch or with inhibitive
submasters. This is helpful when you need to use a dimmer
circuit for backstage work lights that need to stay on during
onstage blackouts. Another use is to control the music stand
lights in the orchestra pit which you do not want to go out in
between scenes when you fade out the stage to do set
changes. And, as most music stand lights are too bright,
parking allows you to dim them to a level comfortable for both
the musicians and the audience. To Park a dim you select
the DMR # and for the CHN you enter [FL] then enter the LEV
for dimmer output. So to Park Dimmer 1 at 80% use the
following sequence; [1] [At] [FL] [At] [8] [0] [Enter]. Note that
in the LEV for DMR 1 on the screen it say PRK in green, this
tells you that the dimmer has been parked. Now every time
you turn on the control console dimmer 1 will turn on to a level
of 80%.
Now that you have modified a patch page, to clear it
back to a One-To-One patch, LVL full, using Profile 1, you
can either use [F1] [Enter] which will clear only the patch page
you are working on. Or you can go to [Setup] SETUP screen
[Next] [Next] Clear functions [5] Clear patch [Enter]. Doing
this clears both patch pages.
For the purpose of learning the board clear both pages back
to One-To-One at this time.

To get to the profile screen you need push the
[Patch/Profile] key twice. The Profile screen will appear on
your display at the second push of the key. The green/yellow
column on the right of the screen lists Profiles 1 - 25. The
row across the top shows the cross fade position as a
percentage.
Definition: A profile is used to determine the relationship
between a fader (automatic or manual control) and how the
dimmer turns on. The first profile on the screen is the Bijou
default profile. Profile 1 is a “Linear Profile” which has the
