PERSONALITY – Service Setting - RDM PID
Select various submenus via RDM.
RDM stands for "Remote Device Management", which provides the ability to control the
device remotely while connected to a DMX-bus. ANSI E1.20-2006 by ESTA specifies the
RDM standard as an extension of the DMX512 protocol. Manual settings like adjusting the
DMX starting address are no longer needed. This is especially useful when the device is
installed in a remote area.
RDM ready and conventional DMX devices can be operated in one DMX line. The RDM
protocol sends its own packages in the DMX512 data feed and does not influence
conventional devices. If DMX splitters are used and RDM control is to be used, these
splitters must support RDM. The number and type of RDM parameters depend on the
RDM controller being used.
PERSONALITY - Display Setting – Key Lock
When ON, Control Panel buttons lock automatically after exiting main menu for 15
seconds. To unlock, keep MODE/ESC button pressed for 3 seconds.
EFFECT ADJUST – Test Channel
Select and auto test each individual channel function independently from the DMX control board.
EFFECT ADJUST – Manual Control
Select and manually test and fine adjust each individual channel function
Independently from DMX control board. This function will center PAN and TILT motors and
set dimmer to 100%. PAN and TILT functions will still operate if the fixture needs to be
positioned to a flat clear surface. With the individual functions, you can focus the light on a
flat surface (wall) and perform fine adjustments.
EFFECT ADJUST – Calibration
ONLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS SHOULD PERFORM THIS FUNCTION.
This function allows small adjustments to be made to the effect wheels (Color, Gobo,
Shutter, etc.) to compensate for ware or in the event a sensor has been knocked slightly
out of place. Because improper use of this function can result in undesired operation this
function has been password protected. The password is 050 and must be entered each
time the calibration menu function is entered. Because calibration is an extremely delicate
procedure, instructions on performing this action are left out of this manual. For a first time
calibrator, please contact our customer support team for step-by-step instructions.
