Control Channel Functions

Used to set different modes, parameters, and functions of the VLX3 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 (unless noted with a "#" in Mode 2).
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.
