German Light Products® Control menus and onboard display
DMX control is disabled when the control menus are active.
Display options
The illuminated LCD display lets you change fixture settings. The display has a battery
backup so that you can change the settings before mains is connected to the fixture.
See Chapter 9 for more details.
Using the Control / Settings DMX channel or the fixture's control panel you can:
Set display modes using the Fixture Settings > Display Mode option:
- On: The display stays on constantly. This setting can be useful when you are
configuring or servicing the fixture.
- Auto: The display will automatically switch off after a few seconds even if the fixture
is not receiving a valid control signal or if it has detected an error.
Invert the display using the Fixture Settings > Display Orientation option, so it is easier to
read if the fixture is hanging upside down.
Display Locking
On the Fixture Settings > Lock menu, you can configure the display to lock after a
period of time to prevent accidental changes to the options.
You can set a custom lock code using the Fixture Settings > Lock > Set Passcode
option. If you do not set a custom code, the default code is 0000.
Manual Control
Using the Manual Control menu you can set fixed values to the fixture's control
channels, as if it was in DMX control mode 1. This is useful when testing.
LED PWM frequency
The LEDs in the unit are dimmed using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which can
sometimes cause flickering on cameras. The Fixture Settings > PWM option allows you
to select different frequencies for the PWM to fix such issues. The higher frequencies
may cause reduced dimming performance.
Fan control
The fixture has internal cooling fans. In a noise critical situation you can slow these
down using the Fixture Settings > Fan Mode option. The normal setting is Regulated
which will adjust the fan speed automatically. If you set the option to Low the fan
speed is kept slow but this may result in the fixture overheating and reducing its output.
The fixture has an additional fan near the lens to clear condensation. You can control
how this fan works using the Fixture Settings > Defog option.
Fixture information
The Information menu in the control panel gives access to items of information from
the fixture's sensors and memory. You can check temperature sensor readouts, see
total operating hours counters, and see software version number, for example.
