Page 14: User Interface
User Interface EXECUTE ESCAPE RESET All J-PACK Series dimmer packs are equipped with a user interface located MENU on the front panel of the chassis. The user interface provides access to all ØA ØB ØC RxD ERROR programming and configuration settings. System status is easily visible on the LCD display and LED indicators. -
Page 15: System Status • Led Indicators
System Status • LED Indicators RUN (Green) Illuminates when the power is on and the microcontroller status is in normal run mode. The LED flashes once every 2 seconds when the system is in STANDBY mode. ØA, ØB and ØC (Green) Illuminates when the line voltage for each phase is within the acceptable range of 100VAC to 130VAC for 120VAC operation and 200VAC to 260VAC for 240VAC operation, and the zero-cross reference circuitry is functioning properly. - Page 16 “HARD-KEY” on page 26 for further details. LOCKED!! When the J-PACK Series dimmer pack is powered up, the menus are “LOCKED!!” with access only to the basic system configuration menus, which includes setting the DMX start address as well as enabling or disabling the end-of-line DMX termination.

Detailed Programming of System Configuration Menu Items NOTE: When the J-PACK Series dimmer pack is powered up, the menus are “LOCKED!!” with access only to the basic system configuration menus, which includes setting the DMX start address as well as enabling or disabling the end-of-line DMX termination. The menus need to be “UNLOCKED”... - Page 19 Advanced Menus SCENESET Enable and setup 6 different backup scenes. When scene mode (SCENESET) is activated the selected scene will be held with no timeout until the menu is exited. The 6 control channel levels are configured within the menu and can be modified on the fly. Scene mode is useful when an external controller is not available and independent internal control is required.
- Page 20 SNAPSHOT Record DMX levels into the backup scenes. Provides a quick and easy way to save control channel levels into each of the 01 to 06 backup scenes using a DMX source. Press EXECUTE to enter the menu and activate snapshot mode. SAVE >01 Press MENU ( ) to select a different scene from 01 to 06.
- Page 21 Multiple dimmer outputs may be patched to a single control channel. The dimmer to channel patch is used by other menu features to provide transparent control of the dimmer output circuits. J-PACK Series dimmer packs are typically patched for 1 to 1 operation but may be altered for custom applications.
- Page 22 12. DIM CURV Configure the dimmer curve for each output. There are four different dimmer curve profiles that can be assigned to each individual dimmer output circuit. Square Law (SQ) curve is the industry standard and the default for all dimmers. Linear (LN) curve modifies the dimmer output for a linear relationship to the control input level.
- Page 23 16. TEST INC Set the test increment units to percent or hexadecimal. The level for the dimmer test (DIM TEST) menu can be displayed as a percentage or hexadecimal value. PERCENT Press EXECUTE to toggle test increments from PERCENT to HEX VAL. HEX VAL Press EXECUTE to toggle test increments from HEX VAL to PERCENT.
- Page 24 20. AUX2MODE Set the auxiliary input 2 mode to activate a selected scene or load shed. The auxiliary dry-contact input can be set to activate 1 of the 6 backup scenes, or set for load shed mode (LS). When the auxiliary input is configured to activate a scene, scene mode (SCENEMOD) must be enabled for the selected scene to be activated.
- Page 25 Set the supply voltage range for 120 Volts or 240 Volts operation. J-PACK Series dimmer packs are capable of operating with most common AC supply voltages. The default is for 120 Volts operation. This menu must be set for 240 Volts operation when the supply voltage is between 210VAC and 250VAC.

Page 28: Important Hard-Key Information
Important Hard-key Information J-PACK Series dimmer packs may be shipped with an invalid hard-key code of 000000. A valid hard-key must be entered before the run time (RTIME) counter reaches 2160 hours / 90 days. If the run time expires without a valid hard-key, the LCD display will show a runtime counter error (RTC ERR!) and all dimmer control outputs will be disabled. -
