SERVICE

CALIBRATING FADERS

If the controller does not output the full range of DMX values, or outputs different values from the same fader position, the faders can be recalibrated as follows.

1.Press and hold [Blackout] to put the controller in standby mode.

2.Slide all six faders to the top.

3.Press [Blackout] to bring the controller out of standby mode. Quickly press scene buttons 4 and 6 at the same time and hold for 1 sec- ond. Release the scene buttons.

4.The channel LEDs chase upwards. Repeat steps 1-3 if the LED chase does not occur.

5.In controllers with CPU firmware version 2.1 and above, the faders are now calibrated and the controller is ready for use.

6.If your controller has firmware version 1.5 or below, press a DMX Channel button. (Optional) Slide each fader, one at a time, between 0 and 100%. When a fader is at 0, the display reads 0 (DMX 0). When a fader is at 10, the display reads FF (DMX 255). Do not leave a fader on 0 - you will not be able to read the other fader val- ues. Press a DMX Channel button to complete the process and return to normal operation.
