Figure 2.1. Mini Controller Operation Process
When a Program is run, it is run from the first step to the last step. Then the Program will loop back to the first step and begin this process again.
Standby Mode
When power is first applied to the unit or when the unit is reset, Standby Mode is automatically engaged. The Mini Controller is in Standby Mode when the LED above the <STANDBY> key is illuminated. Standby mode is used to allow the desired program to be located without starting any other program. After you have reached the desired Program (refer to the Program topic found later in this Chapter), press the <STANDBY> key to disable Standby Mode and start the desired program. When you wish to stop the current program, press the <STANDBY> key again.
Flash Mode
A special feature of the Mini Controller is Flash Mode. Hold the <flash> key down to ignite all AF1000 strobes at full Intensity for .125 seconds (60 Hz) or
.15 seconds (50 Hz). The <flash> key may be pressed repeatedly or until the strobe(s) time out, at which point the LEDs will continue to flash, but the strobes will not respond until they have finished their cooling cycle . Flash Mode will override any program that is currently being run, with the exception of the Lightning Programs. Refer to Lightning Programs later in this Chapter.
Program Mode
Press the <program> key to enable Program Mode (the Mini Controller defaults to Program Mode). Program Mode is engaged when the LED above the <program> key is illuminated. The <program> key and the up/down arrow keys allow access to the Standard Programs, Random Function Programs, Advance Programs, and Lightning Programs.
