The Power Cue Store is designed to be rack mounted. It takes up one rack unit of space, is 7.3 inches (186 mm) deep, and weighs 7.7 pounds (3.5 kg). The 5-pin XLR DMX connectors and the mains input are mounted on the rear panel.
When DMX signals are being received and neither manual nor external control is active, the Power Cue Store remains passive and allows the DMX signal to pass to the next DMX device. Pass-through mode is indicated by a dot beside DMX OK in the display.
Configuring the Power Cue Store To enter configuration mode, the Power Cue Store must be receiving DMX data. After verifying that DMX data is being sent, press the CONFIG switch using a thin screwdriver or similar device. The display shows CnF.

Moving Between Scenes with the Auto Button If the AUTO button is pressed, the Power Cue Store steps to the next valid scene. If any other scene is selected, the display will flash alternately the number of the current scene and the number of the next-selected scene.

An example of manual control is shown below: A step-by-step discussion of the example follows: Press the AUTO button to advance to scene 01.

Fade or Hold time has expired. Example of Using External Control DMX data is lost and you activate external control. Power Cue Store invokes the Loss of Data key; in this example, it outputs scene 00.
Deleted or unprogrammed scenes are ignored. If an End scene is encountered, any fade or hold already in progress completes, and Power Cue Store waits for a STEP or START signal. When a start-of-chase scene (SoC) is encountered, the chase runs automatically, observing programmed fade and hold times.
Memory Card The memory card type is a Type 1 PC Card, 256KB SRAM. If the Power Cue Store is in external control mode, the memory card is ignored. Otherwise, when the card is inserted, the display shows Crd. To Store to Card To store all scenes, scene types, fade times and hold times to the card, hold the STORE key down for two seconds.
