System Setup; Setting Up Stand-Alone Operation - Martin Alien LED Downlight User Manual

System setup

The Alien LED Downlight system is set up using the DIP switch (see Figure 4) and the yellow
Program button on the side of the driver unit.

Setting up stand-alone operation

In stand-alone operation, no DMX controller is required. Instead, pre-programmed lighting effects
stored in the driver unit memory are sent to the Alien LED Downlight luminaires for display when
stand-alone operation is enabled.
Both static and dynamic effects are stored in the driver unit memory. If more complex effects are
required than those available, you will need to add a DMX controller to the system and use DMX
control.
Enabling stand-alone operation
See Table 3 on page 19. To enable stand-alone operation, set the DIP switch pins on the driver
unit to a value from 480 to 511 to select one of the stand-alone programs stored in the driver unit
as shown in the table. All the downlights connected via transformers to the driver unit will now
display the selected stand-alone lighting effect each time the driver unit is powered on.
If the system is powered on when you select a stand-alone program on the DIP switch, allow
several seconds for the selection to take effect.
Enabling a stand-alone program overrides any DMX signal sent to the driver unit.
