Mark VII Analog Backup
Description
Analog Backup provides easy access and control of user assignable groups of lights or dimmers. This allows easy access to presets by general
users without requiring a complete working knowledge of the control console.
Analog Backup offers a simple 10-channel control matrix. A single dimmer or group of dimmers can be assigned to a control channel by means of
a wire pin matrix patch. Commonly controlled dimmer groups can be assigned to ten slide potentiometers with a master and On/Off control located
at the Stage Manager's panel.
Specifications
1. The plug-in control module shall be a self-contained unit which will
slide into the front of the dimmer bank.
2. The control module shall properly receive USITT DMX-512 digital
multiplex, AMX-192 analog multiplex, or RS422 digital multiplex,
fiber optic or 0-10 Volt analog signals. Digital signals shall terminate in 5-pin XLR-type connectors. Fiber optic transmissions shall
terminate in an optical coupler. Analog controls shall terminate in a
25-pin D-style connector. The multiplex format may be changed by
a single front-panel mounted switch.
3. A yellow indicator shall illuminate upon receipt of a valid digital
signal. A momentary interruption of a digital signal shall not affect
dimmer output.
4. The dimming system shall be able to operate simultaneously on a
multiplex signal and analog 0-10 volt signal. The analog signal
shall activate the backup matrix patch of independently assigned
dimmers to the selected intensities set by the controller. Should the
DMX signal ports fail, the analog backup shall operate as a standalone controller. The analog backup shall have the capacity for
multiple input on a highest-takes-precedence basis. Systems electronics without this capacity shall not be considered equal.
5. The module shall illuminate a pilot light for each power phase during operation. Input power to the control module shall be breakered
and fused.
6. All dimmer control electronics shall be contained on a doublesided, through-hole plated fiberglass circuit board.
7. The control module shall be a labeled, recognized component of
Underwriters Laboratory.
8. The unit shall be the Multi-Link series as manufactured by Electronics Diversified, Inc., Hillsboro, Oregon 97214.
