- Page 2 Safety and Legal General: Digital Lighting Solutions Inc. expressly prohibits the use of this device in systems where people or property may be harmed if this device malfunctions or is misused. Digital Lighting Solutions Inc. or any of its officers shall not be held liable for any lost revenue resulting for the misuse or malfunction of this product.
- Page 3 Setup Connections: “DC In” connects to the external power supply provided with the unit. If the power supply has been lost, almost any 12VDC 500ma power supply with the proper connector and polarity will work. Note: the DC output of any replacement power supply must be isolated from the power lines.
- Page 4 Operation Basic Use: To begin, press the “talk” button or its equivalent on the phone. Between keying commands it’s best to hang up the phone (usually by pressing the “end” button); this will maximize the phone’s battery life. The dmxPHONE’s syntax is very similar to most lighting consoles. It should be noted that dimmer numbers must be used, not channel numbers.
- Page 5 Dimmer Check Mode: The dmxPHONE provides a mode for sequentially accessing dimmers. To use this mode, first set a dimmer at a desired level then type “555 #”. The unit will make a special high-medium-high sound to indicate the dimmer check mode. Units with software version 1.3 and later will optionally provide a continuous background tone to indicate dimmer check mode.
- Page 6 ‘Remote Takes Precedence’ Mode: The factory default merging mode for dmxPHONE is ‘Highest Takes Precedence’. This means that if a level provided by the lighting console is higher than the level keyed on the remote, the console will take precedence. In “Remote Takes Precedence” mode dmxPHONE will override the console output in all cases.
