Page 17: Connecting The Wireless Data Link
Connecting the wireless data link To connect the Track Runner to data: 1. Connect the DMX data output from the DMX controller to the Wireless DMX transmitter male 5-pin XLR DMX input connector (DMX 512 IN). 2.

Page 18: Mode Setting
Mode setting The mode switch is found on the front panel left to the DMX address switches and this can be used to select various functions and ramps for normal operation and setup. Mode setting overview MODE Function Description Note None Track Runner is stopped. - Page 19 DMX channel overview channel Function Description Position rough This channel controls the position of the unit, with the speed (DMX channel 3). This rough position works together with the fine position (DMX channel 2). The rough position and the fine position are multiplied in to a 16 bit channel. The rough position is the MSB.
-
Page 20: Setting The Left And Right Positions (Dmx Operation)
Setting the left and right positions (DMX operation) When the unit is ready, the first step is to set the soft-limit left and right positions. See channel description for channel 4, 5 and 6 on the previously page. When the range has been set once on channel 6 it is saved and does not need to be set again unless a new range is needed, or when the unit has been manually operated or removed from the track. -
Page 21: Positioning
Positioning When the unit has been setup and the soft limits is set, it is possible to use it for positioning run. The position is set on the DMX channel 1 and 2, which controls the rough-and fine-position. Where 100 % is the right position(forward) and 0% is the left position(reverse). The positions lamp indicates, by fast flashing, that the unit is going towards the wanted position. -
Page 22: Synchronized Movements Of Multiple Units
Synchronized movements of multiple units If several units are installed to perform synchronized movements, the best result is achieved by using a fading 16 bit position. By nature, there is a slight deviation in performance of the motors, and some motors have a slightly higher maximum speed than others. Like when fading light, the positions of the different units should be faded, and the units will tend to follow that fade. -
