    DMX512, but feature an easy-to-use user inter- face that incorporates an integral LCD and keypad. Like all Sensor dimming systems, the Portable Pack provides feedback on dimming system status. In packs equipped with the MPE, this is accomplished via a warning beacon and a system of flashing LEDs.
  • Page 6: Dimmer Modules

    The Signal LED is on whenever the pack is receiving DMX512 input. Sensor AF (Advanced Features) dimmer modules also have an LED marked Output which is on whenever the dimmer has an output voltage. Dual modules have two sets of LEDs.
  • Page 7: Line And Load Connectors

    Line and load connectors The back panel of the Sensor Portable Pack contains both line and load connectors. Load connectors The Sensor Portable Pack may be configured with either stage pin; grounded twistlock; parallel blade; or multi-pin connectors (Veam, Socapex or Pyle) to connect the pack to lights or other output devices.
  • Page 8: Sp6 Single Phase Operation

    Setting up SP6 for single phase operation To convert a Sensor SP6 Portable Pack from three phase to single phase operation, follow these steps: 1. Disconnect power from all Cam-Loks. 2. Remove all dimmer modules from the Portable Pack, exposing the bus bars and connectors.
  • Page 9: Sp12 Single Phase Operation

    Setting up SP12 for single phase operation To convert a Sensor SP12 Portable Pack from three phase to single phase operation, follow these steps: 1. Disconnect power from all Cam-Loks. 2. Remove all dimmer modules from the Portable Pack, exposing the bus bars and connectors.
  • Page 10: Input Connectors

    The CEM will work in a standard pack, but it will not accept AMX192 or analog input. On the other hand, an MPE will work in an AF pack, but it will not support Sensor’s Advanced Features (AF) option.

    CEM’s LCD for error messages. See the CEM User Manual for more information. Door Each Sensor Portable Pack is equipped with a door that protects the dimmer modules and contains the cooling system’s electrostatic air filter. To ensure proper cooling, always keep the door closed except when you are working on the pack.
  • Page 12: Cooling System

    Cooling system The Sensor Portable Pack is cooled by a fan located on the back panel. The pack’s cooling fan draws air through the filter, over the surfaces of the modules and then blows it out the back of the pack. The fan runs when any of the dimmers in the pack are on.
