Chapter 2 The User Interface The Power Control Processor Mk2 features a simple user interface with up and down arrows for menu navigation, a numeric keypad for direct selection, and an easy-to-read graphical display. Additionally, a USB port is provided on the left side of the controller for storage of configurations to a flash drive.
The Display The Power Control Processor Mk2 features a high-contrast, 21-character, 8-line, backlit screen. When scrolling through the menu, the first row of the display is reserved for the menu title.
Output Status The Output Status screen displays several lines of information: • Line 1 shows: Output Status ‐ The name of the display: Output Status ‐ An "L" symbol is shown when levels are set locally at the System OK panel. DMX Start = 101 DMX Input: Active ‐...
‐ sACN Input will be displayed as either Active , Inactive, or Disabled . • Line 8 shows the status of connected Echo power station status (On or Off) and the current Power Control Processor Mk2 software version number. Note: Echo power station support is reserved for later development.
Echo power station support is reserved for later development. USB Media The Power Control Processor Mk2 includes a USB type A socket located on the left side of the user interface. A USB storage device is not included and must be purchased sparately.

Revers-phase dimming control. • Current Level displays the current level of the selected circuit from the controlling data source as a percentage (%). When no control is present, current level displays a dash (–). Power Control Processor Mk2 Configuration Manual...
• Load displays the load both as amperes (A) and calculated (VA). The load value displays and updates in real time. Multiple-pole relays will show load for each pole (load (1), load (2), etc.). ‐ For the Echo Relay Panel Feedthrough, voltage is not measured, and this field contains a dash (–).
• Zone allows configuration of the Zone to which the selected outputs are allocated. See Zones on page 9 • Circuit displays the currently assigned circuit number for the dimmer or relay position in the panel. Power Control Processor Mk2 Configuration Manual...
• Allow Manual determines what happens when a manual override occurs on products supporting manual override. ‐ Yes (default): the relay is treated as if the level has been set to full. ‐ No : When a manual override is attempted, the controller will reassert control and change the relay to the state requestedy by the incoming control inputs.
