Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, lamp on/off and partial recalibration.
These must be executed with zero time transition or with timing disabled. Discrete values must be
used; not manual controls such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Lamp On or Lamp Off - switches lamp on or off.
Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, gobo, zoom, etc.) without affecting
others.
- Blue/Amber/Magenta/Diffuser *
- LED Incandescent Dim
- LED Match Output Mode
- LED Boost Output Mode
* For arc models, the dimmer will close during each recalibration action.
**These functions DO NOT require the 3 second hold.
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 3
seconds. A 3 second hold is not required for LED functions.
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.
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.)
