Introduction - Jands Event 4 Technical Manual

Introduction

1. Introduction
The Event 4 lighting control console is designed for stage, theatre, corporate, and live
music applications. It has been designed to control all equipment with a DMX-512
input. New fixture types can be added by modifying the fixture library disk if they are
not available on the existing release library.
The console has been designed with the capability for users to upgrade the software
without removing the base. This is achieved by inserting a diskette with the new
operating system, and selecting the appropriate options in the "boot menu". The boot
menu also provides other functions, including console self tests.
Note that static sensitive devices are used throughout the console, and normal handling
precautions should be applied during service. Note also that connections should never
be made with the power switched on.
Metric fasteners are used almost exclusively throughout the console.
The Event 4 Operating Manual should be consulted for a description of desk
operation.
Jands recommends that all service procedures be performed by a Factory Authorised
Service Centre or the Jands Electronics Service Department.
