Control Channel Functions
Used to set different modes, parameters, and functions of the VLX™ Wash Luminaire via the control
console. Set control channel value for desired action. Hold value for at least 3 seconds.
Set control channel value to 0 without any scaling. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls
such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values).
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 84 for reset). Hold value for at
least 3 seconds.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling values. Action will
be voided if other values are detected between action value and zero.)
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does not allow for a
quick value change, which is required to effect the control functions. However, the encoders on some
consoles include discreet value capability.
