SELECTING AND CONTROLLING FIXTURES
Use the FIXTURE buttons in order to select the fixtures you want to control. The buttons glow. The buttons A, B, C
and D also glow to indicate the number of segments patched for this device, thus a KLS spot light system should
have 4 glowing buttons. On an individual spot light only button A should glow. After you selected the fixtures you
can control them. You have the following options:
Control element Function
Color controls
Red, Green,
Blue, White,
Amber and
Purple
For controlling the color mixtures. Each spot light with a recorded color mixture should
respond to these controls. Provided that you made the correct assignments for each
fixture, you can now set the color of various spot lights at once, e.g. red.
Color Wheel
fader
This sliding fader usually controls fixtures with various colors recorded on a DMX channel,
e.g. a spot light with a color wheel or simple LED effects. If no color wheel was assigned to
the fixture during the DMX configuration, the DMX Color Chief simulates a color wheel
function, thus you can easily scroll through the colors. The use of the Color Wheel fader
overwrites any settings made with the color controls. In order to use the color controls
again, slide the Color Wheel fader to the far left.
Color effects
FX1 to FX8
These controls are used for spot lights with color mixture in order to create various color
effects.
FX 1: soft change from red to blue
FX 2: colorful light change 3
FX 3: RGB chase
FX 4: chase green/blue
FX 5: colorful light change 2
FX 6: soft, colorful light change
FX 7: soft light change from red to green
FX 8: strobe
These are intelligent effects that respond differently to different types and numbers of
fixtures. The speed can be adjusted via the encoder wheel with the FX SPEED button
activated. You can also add more colors manually. This way you can, for instance, add red
color to effect 4, which is programmed to produce a green and blue chase, and thus
change it to yellow and pink. You can also memorize your edited color effects.
Free Patch
controls 1 to 3
These rotary controls can be patched freely. You can now call any functions assigned to
these controls during DMX configuration such as movements or any other special
functions.
Dimmer fader This fader controls the brightness while you are adjusting your spots. Both the DIMMER
fader and the MASTER fader need to be pulled up in order to make the spot work. If the
spot does not have a dimmer channel but a color mixture, the color mixture function
responds to the DIMMER fader. The color wheel function also responds to the dimmer
channel. If the COLOR WHEEL fader is moved while the DIMMER fader is pulled down,
no light will be produced even if you pull the DIMMER fader back up. You have to move
the COLOR WHEEL fader too in order to produce light.
Shutter fader This fader contains a shutter function. For some spots the shutter needs to be open in
order to produce light. For most spots the shutter channel also contains the stroboscope
mode which can be called with this fader. If the spot does not include a shutter function,
this fader has no function.
FX Speed button Keep the SPEED button pressed in order to delete all settings memorized in the cache
memory of the DMX Color Chief, i.e. all values adjusted for a scene that were not
memorized. The internal effects do not respond to this deleting function; they are
deactivated by pressing the respective effect button again.
