Menu operation
General notes
Ensure that only one DMX
•
device in the chain is set
as master (e.g. the lighting
desk). This fixture is usually
set to slave mode.
• This fixture is shipped with
the DMX address set to
001.
• The four digit display can
be set to switch off when
not in use. To restore, press
. To alter this mode use:
PERS > DISP.
To optionally clear all previous settings: Press the
middle two buttons ( and
address and mode are being displayed. The four digit
display will show FACT then SET to indicate that the
fixture has been returned to its default condition.
Chase effects
This section describes each of the 31 internal chase effects
that are selectable either via the control menu (prog >
c1/c2 > EFEC) or using DMX values sent from an exter-
nal source. To use the internal effects, set the mode option
either to ef m (to control effects via the menu) or EF d /
4+E (to control effects externally via DMX). See page 4 for
details about controlling effects on other fixtures via DMX
without using a control desk.

Channel layouts within operation modes
) while the current
The table below shows how colour mixing, chase effects and master intensity
controls are mapped to DMX channels for each mode. The dmx and16bt modes
do not use chase effects. In all modes, the first channel of the fixture occurs at the
DMX address selected using addr and successive channels for the fixture follow
from there.
Note: The PERS > RES option determines the number of channels to use in DMX
and16bt modes (16bt uses twice the number of channels setup within RES).
Channel
Dimming options
( PERS > DIMR )
You have a choice of dimmer
curve control options:
FINE is the standard setting
and is fully compatible with the
dimming curves of previous Pixel
Range fixtures.
TV uses dimming frequencies that
will eradicate any visible flicker
when viewed by video cameras
and broadcast systems.
TUNG Alters the dimming response
to closely emulate the very smooth
action of standard tungsten bulbs.
The TUNG setting can be used with
all operation modes. However,
within the effects modes (EF M,
4+E and EF D), the TUNG setting
will only be effective if the C1/C2
speed option is less than 25 and
the C1/C2 XFADE option is less
than 127.
Using the menu
When not in the menu, the four digit display scrolls the
•
current DMX address and mode. The display's right hand
decimal point (data dot) is used to indicate status (see below).
• Press to enter the menu. The four digit display will show ADDR.
• Use and
value within an option).
UP
• Press to enter an option (or to fix a changed value within an
option and return to the previous option level). Note: If you do
not press to fix a value, operation will revert to the
previously set mode at the next power on.
• Press to exit from a menu option (and eventually
exit the menu completely).

Master/slave/data indication
The right hand decimal point (data dot) of the display is used
to indicate the master/slave settings and also the presence of
a DMX input signal, as shown below:
Data dot ON
Data dot FLASHING
Data dot OFF
Notes:
• Ensure that only one DMX device in the chain is set as
master (e.g. the desk).
• Use PERS > data to change between master & slave modes.
• When set to master mode, the fixture will scroll MASTER in
place of a DMX address (when not within the menu).
• If the display has been set to auto off (disp > aoff), the
data dot will remain active but at a lower brightness.
