The following instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a DMX compliant controller.

Memory Statistics:

Total Number of Programs: 8

Maximum Number of Steps (Scenes) per a Program: 48

Total Number of Scenes (Steps): 250

Step 1 – Building Scenes.

The control will store a maximum of 250 scenes. These scenes are then used to create the programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored in a “Program.” If you wish to build a static scene (a scene consisting of no movement) for a logo or gobo projection, the scene must be stored inside a program. To build scenes follow the instructions below:

Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8.

Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Edit Scenes,” menu function 8-3.

When you get to the “Edit Scenes” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will then change to Edit Scene 001, this will be menu function 8-3-1. You can then press the “ENTER” button to begin to edit scene 1 or use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to toggle to access scenes 2-250.

Once in the scene edit screen you have access to the functions listed below. Tapping the “ENTER” button will instantly allow you to change the values of the selected function in real time. The values can be adjusted from 0~250. Once you achieved your desired value tap the “ENTER” button once again to automatically lock the value into the scenes memory. You can repeat the procedure for all functions listed below:

-“Auto Program” – Allows access to all 21 of the channel’s DMX traits.

-“PAN” – pan movement.
