"ON", "DIM" and "OFF" Buttons with Integral LED's

All CS-DMX Series control stations contain 3 buttons with integral blue LED's. When a button
is pressed, the control station is triggered into the corresponding state. The button LED's
indicate the state of the control station. Under normal operation, when a button is pressed, the
corresponding LED will illuminate. If the control station is fading, the LED will flash once per
second until the fade is complete. Pressing a button or adjusting the master slider level while
the control station is fading, cancels the fade and immediately activates the button pressed. The
button LED's also indicate when local or remote lockout is active, or if there is a short-circuit or
overload condition (refer to page 10 for details). The intensity of the button LED's can be adjusted
(refer to "Set the Button LED Intensity" on page 9).
Pressing the "ON" button triggers all of the DMX channels patched to the sliders to full on. The
"ON" button corresponds with the "ON" connection on J1 and is optionally connected to other
control stations for various applications.
Pressing the "DIM" button activates DMX output control from the slider potentiometers (pots). The
"DIM" button corresponds with the "DIM" connection on J1 and is optionally connected to other
control stations for various applications.
Pressing the "OFF" button turns off (zero percent (00%) output level) all of the DMX channels
patched to the sliders. The "OFF" button corresponds with the "RST" (reset) connection on J1 and
is optionally connected to other control stations for various applications.
NOTE: The control station will still transmit DMX output levels at zero percent (00%) in the "OFF" state.

Master (M) Slider

The master slider controls the overall maximum DMX output level for the secondary sliders.
It has similar functionality to a grand master slider found on some DMX control consoles.

Secondary (3, 6, 9 or 12) Sliders

Each of the secondary sliders control the DMX output level for all the DMX channels patched
to the slider. Each slider can be configured to control any combination of 512 DMX channels.

Control Station Security Feature

All CS-DMX Series control stations have the capability to enable or disable the security feature.
Once security is enabled, the security key programmed in the control station must match the
security key in the CS-IPRO programmer, to be able to make programming changes to the
control station. The security feature eliminates the possibility for tampering with the control station
programming. The security feature is disabled by factory default.
If the security feature is required, it should be implemented at the time of installation. To enable
the security feature, set the SECURITY jumper (JP2) in the ENABLE position. Once installation of
the CS-DMX control station is completed, refer to the CS-IPRO user manual SECURITY menus
(EDIT KEY, SET KEY and GET KEY) for detailed programming and setup information. The default
8-digit security key for all CS-DMX Series control stations is set at all zeros (00000000).
