MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The Procon II console has no limitations on its physical orientation; it may be mounted in any
position without damage to the unit. Personal preferences usually dictate the best placement.
All controls should be easy to reach by the operator with emphasis on smooth operation of the
slide controls and easy access to the bump buttons. As with all electrical equipment, moisture
can cause permanent damage to the circuitry; the console should be protected against rain, and
beverages.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All that is required to connect the control to the dimmer pack(s) is a remote cable or cables of the
proper type. This cable is connected to the output jack on the back of the console and to the
input jack on the back of the dimmer pack(s). Each connector is keyed to assure proper connection;
when the keys are lined up the connectors will slide together with ease. Do not force the
connectors! Broken connectors are not covered by the warranty.
INTERFACE WITH DIMMERS
Remote control lighting consoles use a low voltage (usually DC) control signal to vary the
outputs of the dimmer packs. The lighting industry had standardized on "zero to ten" volt DC.
Unless a different control was voltage was specified when your console was ordered, it is adjusted
for zero to ten volt operation. When adjusted for zero to ten operation, the control voltage is
zero volts when a channel is off, ten volts when a channel is on full, and varies linearly between
the two extremes.
Each channel has its own control wire which runs to the dimmer pack(s). There are two types of
standard output connectors on the Procon II series depending on which type of dimmer you are
using. One SRC or 3-XLR connectors are required for each set of twelve channels of control.
Below are instructions for use of both types of configurations.
SRC CONTROL CABLES - GLX/DPI/Genesis
Connection of the controller is very simple. It requires one 12-channel standard cable for every
12 channels of dimming.
When used with GLX/DPI/Genesis, connect one cable to each 12-channel output on the control
console and the other to a 12-channel pack. Repeat the connections for each group of 12
channels on the console.
