7.2.3 Preheat

Here you can determine the preheat value, which is then continuously run to the devices connected in series

(e.g. theater spots). This function results in lower start-up current requirement and prolongs the life of the

illuminants. The preheat value can be assigned to all 12 channels in mode All or to each channel individually

in mode Single. The Preheat function cannot be used in switch mode.

7.2.4 Max level (channel limitation)

Here you can set an upper limit for the control signal of each individual channel. The limiter function, too,

prolongs the life of your illuminants. Limiting the upper range of control voltage protects form voltage

oscillations and overdrive. Depending on the mode, you can set a value for all channels or for each channel

individually. The Max level function cannot be used in switch mode.

7.2.5 Curve (transmission characteristic)

Here you can set up the transmission characteristic of your Dimmer pack. You

can determine how control voltage (fader movement on the controller) is

transmitted to the units connected in series. Depending on the mode, you can

adjust a curve for all channels or for each channel individually.

[L] | The default mode is „linear“. Here the ratio of input value and output level is

linear, i.e. when the fader on the controller is moved up or down, the light

intensity of the lamp connected in series changes directly proportionate to the

fader movement.

[S] | When set to switch mode, the respective channel works like an electronic

relay. This way, you can control fog machines, motors and other effects units

[When the control voltage reaches 50% or more of a previously set value, the channel is switched on; when

it falls below 50%, the channel is switched off again]. The Preheat and Max level functions cannot be used in

switch mode.
