Remote Lamp Control; Remote Shutdown - High End Systems studio spot User Manual

Remote Lamp Control

You can restrike and extinguish the lamp via DMX. The lamp can be turned
off at any time. However, if the fixture has been in operation, you must allow
the lamp to cool for approximately 5 minutes before it can restrike.
To restrike or extinguish the lamp, complete the following procedure:
1. Set DMX channel 20 (Shutter) to a value of 0 on the appropriate
fixture(s). This will unlock the channel 24 (Control channel).
2. Set DMX Channel 24 (Control) to 80-88 to restrike the lamp or at 90-
98 to extinguish the lamp for at least 3 seconds. The fixture(s) will
respond accordingly.
3. Set DMX channel 20 to any value other than 0.
4. Set DMX channel 24 to 0 (safe).
Note: to manually use the lamp functions (from the front panel), refer to
"Turning the Lamp On and Off" on page 3-21.

Remote Shutdown

Studio Spot can be remotely shutdown via DMX. When a fixture is
shutdown, the lamp is extinguished, power to the motor systems is removed,
and the front panel display and indicators are turned off. Fixture shutdown
allows you to remotely deactivate a fixture or a range of fixtures without
manually turning off each breaker. Once a fixture is shutdown, you must
home it to bring it back into operation.
To shutdown a fixture, complete the following procedure:
1. Set DMX Channel 20 (Shutter) to a value of 0 on the appropriate
fixture(s). This will unlock the Channel 24 (Control channel).
2. Set DMX Channel 24 (Control) to a value of 120-130 (50%) on the
appropriate fixture(s). The value must be sent for approximately 3
seconds before the fixture(s) will shutdown.
3. Set DMX channel 20 to any value other than 0.
4. Set DMX channel 24 to 0 (safe).
