Control Channel Functions

Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, lamp on/off and partial
recalibration. These must be executed with zero time transition or with timing
disabled. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls such as faders or
encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Lamp On or Lamp Off - switches lamp on or off.
Partial Recalibration - resets only the target mechanism (color, gobo, zoom, etc.)
without affecting others.
Partial Recalibration of:
- Blue/Amber/Magenta/Diffuser *
- Rotating Gobo/Index *
- Beam Size Iris/Shutter *
* For arc models, the dimmer will close during each recalibration action.
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 84 for reset). Hold
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does
not allow for a quick value change, which is required to effect the control functions.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling
