ONTROLLER OPERATION
The Exterior 200 may be programmed and operated with any lighting
controller that is compatible with the USITT DMX standard. This section
describes how to operate the fixture with a controller. See the DMX protocol
starting on page 38 for specific control values, and "Data link" on page 12 for
connection requirements.
L A M P C O N T R O L
Important Avoid striking several lamps at once!
The lamp can be turned on and off from the controller using the lamp-on and
lamp-off commands on channel 1. If the DMX Lamp-off personality is off, the
lamp-off command on channel 1 executes only if each of the CMY channels
(3, 4, and 5) is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
Strike lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. Striking many lamps at
once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking,
damage electronics, and trip circuit breakers. To have the lamp strike
automatically at power-up, set the Automatic Lamp-on personality to on
(see page 15).
Note: After being turned off, the lamp must cool for approximately 8 minutes
before it can be turned back on.
E F F E C T S
The mechanical effects reset to their home positions when the fixture is
powered on. Effects can also be reset from the controller on channel 1. If the
DMX Reset personality is off, the reset command on channel 1 executes
only if each of the CMY channels is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
Dimmer
The mechanical dimmer provides smooth, high resolution, full-range
dimming on channel 2.
