1. Welcome to Use the Phantom 1024
The Phantom 1024 is a special console for intelligent lights and dimmer packs. For your convenient usage, the manual is divided into 10 chapters. Important contents are highlighted by shading and example explanations are added when necessary for the sake of your better understanding. In the manual, a square symbolizes a button, e.g. Enter，while a square brackets symbolizes a menu item
(corresponding 6 buttons on the right of LCD Screen) shown on the LCD Screen, e.g. [FileSystem].
1.1. Setting up Phantom 1024
You need to prepare the following connection before using Phantom 1024:
Connect Phantom 1024 with AC power supply;
Note: Check whether the local power supply is within the range of 100V-240V.
Connect the fixtures with DMX cables.
There are 2 groups with 4 optically isolate DMX output jacks in Phantom 1024, thus A, B ports.
DMX512 protocol regulates that there are 512 channels. That means actually, Phantom 1024 use two groups of output ports with 512 channels each.

1.2.1. Unit
Unit section comprises of Unit page, Unit faders and Unit buttons.
One unit can be patched to a fixture, or a channel which can compose of one or more dimmers.
Unit page: Phantom 1024 has 8 Unit pages, each of which can be patched to 30 Units. Thus, 8 pages can totally control 240 Units. Pressing or can change the page, led number display the present Unit page.
Each fader can control the light level of a fixture or a channel. Fade in or out will change the brightness of
the fixture or channel that had been patched.
The buttons under the Unit faders are the selecting button for the Units. Two functions of them are:
1. Select the Units;
2. Fast enter English letters and symbols.
1.2.2. Preset
Preset section comprises of Preset pages and Preset buttons.
Phantom 1024 has 7 Preset pages, each of which has 30 Preset buttons. Therefore, there are totally 210 Preset buttons. Pressing or can change the page, led number display the present Unit page.
There are 30 Preset buttons on the Front panel, divided into 3 rows, distinguished each other by A, B and C. After finishing the Unit patching, the 30 Preset buttons of the 1st preset page are patched to the value of attributes of the Units. For instance, the 1
st
row A is controlling the colours, the 2nd row B is controlling
the gobos and the 3
rd
row C is controlling the locations. The 10 buttons in each row are preset as different attribute values. For example, if you press A1, all the patched fixtures will show white light beam. You can set up the Preset buttons of other pages.

2. Patch
We will introduce how to patch dimmer channels and fixtures in this chapter:
Patch DMX address of Units; Patch dimmer channels; Patch fixtures; Setup the fixture channels; Look over the Unit patch.
In order to make the Phantom 1024 to control your Units, you should first patch the Units. Each Unit fader can be patched to a channel or a fixture.
First of all, connect all the dimmers and fixtures by DMX cables. Then, patch every channel or fixture to each Unit button. Phantom 1024 contain 8 Unit pages, each of which can be patched to 30 Units. So you can patch up to 240 Units by changing pages.
2.1. Patch the Unit Address
When you patched dimmer channels or fixtures, Phantom 1024 will automatically distribute the free DMX addresses to avoid the overlap, discontinuity and waste of DMX addresses. You can also assign the DMX address of fixtures and dimmers by manual patching to carry out your preconcerted design, but you must make sure the DMX addresses don’t overlap with each other.
When patching dimmer channels and fixtures, LCD screen will list the present patched addresses of the Units and those free DMX addresses, marked as Free.
2.2. Patch Dimmer Channels
Each Unit fader can be patched to a dimmer channel. After patching, you can control the brightness of the dimmer channel. A dimmer channels comprise of one or more DMX addresses. If you change the level of a dimmer channel, dimmers of the DMX addresses controlled by the channel will get the same brightness value.
Example: Use 1
st-6th
addresses of DMX output port B, to patch
a 6 channeled dimmer to the No. 21-26 Unit button of 1
st
page in Unit section, so that each of the 6 Unit faders can individually control 1 dimmer channel, thus each Unit button control a dimmer channel.
Press Patch in the Function section to enter “Setup Patch”
menu;
Press S2 [Patch Dimmer] to enter the menu; Use S2 to select [Select DMX Output = B] mode. Now the
LCD screen display the patching state of port B. “Free” means it’s not patched;
Press 001 by the Numeric keypad to set the DMX initial address as 1;
Phantom_1024_V2.023_en.PDF http://www.codelight.com
8
Press No. 21-26 Unit buttons in the Unit section in turn to finish the patching of DMX address 1-6 to Unit
21-26;
Press Patch to exit patching and return to “Live Show Mode”.
Example: Use DMX address 7th-12th of DMX output port B to patch a 6 channeled dimmer to Unit 30, that’s one Unit button control 6 dimmer channels.
Press Patch in the Function section to enter “Setup Patch”
menu;
Press S2 [Patch Dimmer] to enter the menu; Use S2 to select [Select DMX Output = B], then the LCD
screen will display the patching information of Port B, “Free” means the channel is not patched;
Press 007 by the Numeric keypad to set the DMX initial
address as 7
Press Unit button 30 for 6 times to complete the patching of DMX address 7-12 to Unit 30; Press Patch to exit the patching and return to “Live Show Mode”.
2.3. Patch Fixtures
Fixture patching is a little bit different from dimmer channel patching. Dimmer channels have only one attribute, brightness, while fixtures have many attributes. After the patching of fixtures, you can use the faders to change the brightness, but other attributes not.
There are two types of Libraries in the console:
1. System fixture Library. The console has been uploaded the latest light library when it’s on sale. You can
visit our website to download the newest library and upload it to your console.
2. User fixture Library. When you can’t find the model of your fixtures in the System Fixture Library, you can
build one yourself.
When choosing the fixture, you can look over the details of the fixture, to make sure your choice correctly.
Example: Patch a Martin Mac2000 Profile fixture with 24 channels to Unit button 1 of the 1
st
page, using port A
of DMX output, DMX initial address =1.
Press Patch to enter “Setup Patch” menu; Press S3 [Patch Fixtures] to enter “Select a Library”
menu;
Press S1 [System Fix. Library]; Select the sort order mode with S5. Here, we search by
Manufacturer;
Use Unit buttons (with English letters) to fast skip to
the initial letter of the Manufacturer. Here, we press Unit 13 (the letter M);
Use S3 [Page Up], S4 [Page Down] to switch the pages, use the or button to select Martin. Then
press S1 [Confirm], it will display all fixture models of Martin;
Use Unit buttons (with English letters) to fast skip to the initial letter of the fixture model. Here, we press
Unit 13 (the letter M);
