Latch-Lock; Lug - ETC Sensor3 CEM3 User Manual

Latch-Lock

Latch-Lock is a control mode available to any dimmer circuit (see
switched mode, Latch-Lock features an additional safeguard so that circuits cannot be turned on or off
as easily. The circuit only turns on when a
time, and only turns off when a different control level range is held for another amount of time.
Latch-Lock is useful for avoiding accidental dowsing of arc lamps during shows (often caused by
running the grandmaster down). By requiring a level range and time, most master fades will not hover
in a given range for long enough to trigger on or off.
The level ranges and times can be edited on a per dimmer basis (see
page 17
). On and Off level ranges may not overlap.

Lug

"Lug" refers to a physical position in the rack. Lugs are always numbered counting downwards from
the top of the rack, starting at 1. Some modules may take up multiple lug positions in the rack.
