Buttons

SET

a multifunction button. Transmitting Pre-stored Levels

When pressed, the IR DMX Controller updates (retransmits) all 512 channel levels to their previously set levels, as saved in the remote’s internal, non-volatile memory.

If the IR Sensor did not receive any part of the infrared beam while transmitting dimming commands (ex. – something blocking the line of sight between the Controller and the IR Sensor unit), the dimmable fixture will be set to a different level than is displayed in the IR DMX Controller LCD. By pressing the SET button, all values will be retransmitted, “re-synchronizing” the dimming levels of the fixtures to the displayed level in the IR DMX Controller.

Note: Pressing SET while sending val- ues will interrupt transmission.

If one or more dimmable fixtures were turned off (i.e. at night, or for lamp change), their dimming levels will be different than what has been saved in the IR DMX Controller’s memory. Pressing the SET button, updates all the fixtures to their desired levels simultaneously.

Saving Scenes

A secondary function of the SET button is to save Scenes. See pg. 7 for more information.

Shutting Down

To turn the IR DMX Controller OFF, hold the SET button

for 2 seconds.

+ Level

will increase the dim- ming level (%) of the fixture from 0–100%.

The level can be increased one percent at a time by clicking the but- ton singly.

Holding the button down,

will gradually increase the fixture to 100%.

The longer the + Level button is held, the faster dimming will occur.

Note: Due to the nature of dimmable ballast’s, the Lowel Fluo-Tec dimmable studio fixtures begin their dimming lev- els at 1%, to prevent flicker at lower levels. You can set the fixture

to dim all the way to 0%, but that will then require lamps to ‘start up’ before full dimming up can occur.

– Level

will decrease

the dimming level (%) of the fixture from 100%–0.

The level can be decreased

one percent at a time by clicking the button singly.

Holding the button down,

will gradually decrease the fixture to 0%.

The longer the–Level button is held, the faster dimming will occur.

Buttons/Arrows

–Address

will change the address of the fixture that is being accessed, descending from 512–1.

The + Address button advances one at a time by clicking the button singly.

Holding the button down, will gradually scroll through the addresses.

The longer the button is held, the faster it will scroll.

After unit 512 is reached, the remote control will return to unit 1.

+Address will change the address of the fixture that is being accessed from 1–512.

The – Address button advances one at a time by clicking the button singly.

Holding the button down,

will gradually scroll downward through the addresses.

The longer the button is held, the faster it will scroll.

After unit 1 is reached,

the remote control will return to unit 512.

Note: See MODE sub-menu #5 (pg.4) for more information on setting the number of channels to be controlled.
