Curve Select Dipswitches
The RESPONSETMfront anel contains 48 dipswitches, configured as 16 sets of 3
F switches each. Each set o 3 switches provides curve selection for a specified group of 32
dimmer outputs. The 3 switches provide 8 different possible settings, which comespond
to 8 different curve selections.
Each curve selection contains a panic res onse; namely a function that defines dimmer
!/IX out ut behavior in case of loss of valid D
f
data. Examples of panic responses area)
Ho d last valid level, b) Slow fade to black, c) Slow fade to Full. The pamc response is
pre-defined for each curve and is not user adjustable.
EXAMPLE:
You would like to assign a non-dim curve to outputs 65-96.
Locate the set of 3 switches that correspond to outputs 65-96.
Identi~ the non-dim curve number (let's say it is #5).
Set switch A=UP, B=DOWN, C=UP. Note that this is the binary representation of
"5".
The outputs are now responding as non-dims, and will have the panic response
assigned to the non-dim curve.
Notice also that the dimmer output curve changed instantly as you were changing
the switch positions. It is not necessary to push Reset.
The curve and anic definitions are retained in an EPROM inside the RESPONSE~;
(? different EPR M versions may have different curve assignment. In the back of this
manual you will find diagrams of the curves currently available. If you have su gestions
f
for standard curves or need custom curves for you application, please call ETC or
information.
