5) Front Panel Controls Watson uses a 4 digit display and four entry switches to set operating modes, and show the operating status. Address Menu: When the unit is first turned on, the display shows the DMX address. This is the DMX address that can be used to turn loads on and off When there is no DMX input, the address number is preceded by a dash ( - ). - Page 8 After power on, the ULD-360 remains in the Address Menu . If no buttons are pressed, the display will blank after about 15 seconds. If Watson is in ‘Automatic’ mode, it will turn on when DMX is present, and off when data is not present.

Delay Menu The Non-Dim and Auto switch modes use a delay time to prevent immediate power switching. This can be useful in two situations: 1) Momentary signal loss or accidental changes will not turn off fixtures. 2) Device turn on can be delayed to sequence power on for multiple units. This can minimize the disturbance on the power system. -
