The Advanced Features menu allows you to set Advanced Features (on/off), Report Load Errors, AF
Sensitivity, and AF Reaction Time for a dimmer or range of dimmers.
• Advanced Features (on/off): additional feedback from a dimmer that provides load recording/
reporting and advanced error reporting including a breaker trip, module removed, load changes,
dc output and SCR failures.
• Report Load Errors (on/off): allows for messages to report load changes once initial loads have
been recorded for a dimmer.
• AF Sensitivity (1 to 10): defines the resolution of the Advanced Features sensitivity in reporting
load changes. One (1) is the most sensitive/highest resolution setting and the default is 5. AF
sensitivity is based on a percentage of the recorded load.
• AF Reaction Time (5 to 60 seconds): this setting defines the hysteresis for an Advanced Feature
error. The error must be present for the minimum set in the AF Reaction Time before an error will
be reported.

The Assign Dimmer to a Room menu allows you to set a dimmer or a range of dimmers to a specific
room for use with recording presets. A dimmer can only be assigned to a single room at a time. There
are four (4) rooms available and all dimmers default to being assigned to Room 1.

The Set Name menu allows you to name a dimmer. Names are alphanumeric and can be up to 20
characters long (not all 20 characters will be visible on the LCD).
Dimmer Check
The Dimmer Check menu allows you to set an output level and then step through dimmers at a
selected starting point.

Rack [User][Power]

The Rack menu includes menus for setting the rack name and patch settings. The Rack menu is partially
available to those logged in at the User and complete to those logged in at the Power User level.
Patch
The Set Patch menu allows you to enable and disable DMX, EDMX and sACN inputs, set their priority
and create the patch for those input ports. Patching is more abstract than simply turning a function on
and off. There are different methods try to simplify this process for you by matching a method with
your intent.
There are three methods to create or modify the patch from the face panel.
B y S t a r t A d d r e s s
This method allows you to pick a rack, pick
the port (DMX A, DMX B, EDMX or sACN)
then a starting address. That starting
address is used to sequentially address the rest of the dimmers in that rack for that port. If you are
patching DMX A, there is a provision built-in to accommodate crossing over to DMX B after running
out of addresses on DMX A. (This typically happens in larger systems on the 6th SR48 rack) This is the
simplest way to setup addressing for a dimmer rack.
