However, as with all electrical equipment, you will need to observe a few simple rules: • Never switch on equipment that is obviously damaged. Send the equipment to an authorized dealer or back to the factory for repairs. • If there is any reason to suspect a fault, unplug the equipment from the mains supply immediately. -

Page 19: D09, Individual Feedback On/Off
Feedback/Type menu The D08 Feedback/Type menu is only shown when dimmer feedback is activated in S07 menu (page 19). The dimmer feedback can be deactivated: • individually for each dimmer using the D09 Feedback on/off menu (page 15) • or globally for all dimmers using the S07 Dimmer feedback menu (page 19) C and V errors can only be displayed correctly if the associated dimmer is equipped with a current and voltage measurement function. -
Page 20: D11, Dimmer Test
D11, Dimmer test The dimmer processor can locally control the intensity level for each dimmer individually or for ranges of dimmers for testing purposes. In doing this, the values received from external sources, the preset and preheat values are ignored, so that the lamps can always be dimmed to 0%. The initial menu is the D11 Dimmer test menu. -
Page 21: System
System A selection of menus on the second menu level can be used to make parameter settings for the cabinet (for example, behavior of dimmers in the event of failure of control signals, network settings). The initial menu is the M07 System which can be found in the topmost level. The letter S as part of the menu numbering (S01, S02, ...) identifies that this is a system parameter menu. -

Appendix Improvements and New functions Since versions 1.12.1 and 1.18.1 the following improvements and new functions were built into the software: • Timing on DMX-inputs. If breaks within a DMX telegram exceeded a certain limit, the following channels were misinterpreted. This was visible in uncontrolled flickering of lamps. Especially consoles of type Avab Presto faced this problem. -

Feedback connectors These two connectors are used to capture the I/V feedback messages sequentially from the modules. With the help of the actual values all 96 circuits can be managed using time-division multiplex technology. The modules are arranged in groups of 6, each module returns a low-active signal output for current and voltage, in other words, the feedback occurs on a total of 12 lines (U0 through U5 and I0 through I5). -
