ADVANCED FEATURES

3.1

Cycle

The Cycle button will put the selected DMX universe (CH1, CH2, or both CH1
and CH2) into a preprogrammed light show cycling though all available colors
at a predetermined rate.
The color wheel changes functions to ONLY a speed selector while the panel is
in cycle mode. To use the color wheel as a color selector after cycle mode has
been activated, the cycle must first be turned off. To turn off the cycle program,
touch any dedicated color, off, or save to bring up a different mode.
3.1.1

Cycle Speed

In Cycle mode the color wheel function changes to a cycle speed selector. The cycle
speed can be changed by touching different places on the color wheel. Refer to the
control diagram in figure 1 for the speed indication from 1-100%. Fastest cycle rate
would be in the 11 o' clock position, slowest in the 1 o' clock position.
3.2

Dimming

Selecting the Dim button will allow you to use the color wheel as a brightness
controller sending a DMX signal between 0-255 in increments between 1-100%.
The lowest brightness setting will be at the 1 o'clock position and the brightest
will be at 11 o'clock. When dimming is selected, the indicator LED on the
panel next to the Dim button will be flashing. To turn off dim function, touch
the Dim button again. The LED will stop flashing and the system will revert to
the previously used mode.
3.2.1

Dimming Solid Colors

After a solid color has been selected it can be dimmed to the desired level by touching
the Dim button and then selecting the desired brightness on the color wheel.
3.2.2

Dimming in Cycle Mode

Dimming works the same way in Cycle mode as in any other mode. Touch Cycle, then
touch Dim. The indicator LED next to Dim will be flashing. Set the desired brightness,
then touch Dim again. It will revert back to standard Cycle logic (speed vs. dimming on
the wheel).
3.3

Saving Colors

A color can be saved in each of the three DMX universe modes. CH1, CH2, or
both (CH1 and CH2 conjointly).
