Channel Power-Up Mode

It is sometimes desirable that certain channels 'power up" in pre-set logic states. A common application for this feature is
that channel(s) associated with an automation system intended to run unattended, be set to power up with the channel
ON, and the correct input (e.g. A) and output bus (e.g. PGM) selected.
To set a channel to always power up in a specific pre-set mode - take the following steps:
1. Set the channel's buttons in the desired INPUT, OUTPUT(S) and CUE modes
2. (For power up in the ON mode) - press and hold the ON switch for 5 seconds until the ON lamp blinks
3. (For power up in the OFF mode) - press and hold the OFF switch for 5 seconds until the OFF lamp blinks
4. Repeat this procedure on each channel where a special power-up mode is desired
5. Whenever the console power is re-cycled for any reason, these/this channel will power-up in its pre-set
mode
Notes:
ON or OFF lamps blink and then extinguish to indicate that the programming is stored
When programming the ON function, the OFF lamp may also blink depending on the remote control wiring/configuration
of the OFF lamp)
The default power-up mode is Input A / PGM / no CUE / Channel OFF
Fader position will not be memorized of changed, so faders must be left at standard operating level
It is still highly recommended that a good quality UPS of at least 1.5 KVA be installed prior to the console power supply
to provide temporary back-up power as well as power line filtering
