INTRODUCTION

Plus

ABOUT THE PLUS CONSOLE

The Plus Console is designed to support a series of very basic
control concepts established in the lighting industry. These concepts
are based on the fundamental idea of standard two-scene preset
operation with a healthy twist.

The layout of the Plus controls suggests a two-scene preset
background with two familiar rows of Channel sliders and a basic
set of Crossfaders. Each Channel and Submaster is equipped with
a Bump Button. Bump controls allow the operator to select the
feature and the level of the bump.

Plus also allows the operator to double the channel capacity with
the scene mode switch. When in 1 scene mode, the lower row of
sliders simply add to the upper row of sliders. This feature makes
it quick and easy to gain additional channel control when needed.

Plus incorporates the page concept for memory storage in both
Submaster and Preset memories. Each is equipped with a page
switch. This method layers the storage and allows the operator to
select a recorded memory from any page at any time. Pages can
be switched without affecting the current output.

Plus offers an Independent Fader with a pile-on or inhibit capacity.
This Fader can accept both preset memories and Submaster
memories in a manual or timed mode. When a memory is loaded
in either Fader 1 or 2, the Independent Fader, selected to Inhibit,
and the channel slider can subtract any channels from the recorded
memory output. This unique feature allows fast edits and
adjustments based on live circumstances.

Plus also supports a monochromatic CRT, Off Line Printer, a Hand
Held Remote for dimmer address, Off Line Storage for up to 40
shows, Alphanumeric show labels, Preview capacities, and a
simple Effects package. All of these features are standard in an
economical control package.

So, as you step through this Guide, the real advantages will
become clear. For best results, work with the Guide and the Plus
together to highlight the features of the console.

We think the Plus is a step above the average preset control
console.

This Operational Guide is supplied with your system. Copies of this

DISK HANDLING PROCEDURE:

DISK DRIVE: 3.5" IBM format, 1.44MB. Disks must be formatted
by the Plus console before use.

Insert the diskette as illustrated. Do not force it into the drive. If the diskette
will not insert easily, it is not correctly oriented.

To eject the diskette, push the small button on the disk drive.

To protect your data:

 Do not expose to high temperatures.

 Do not store near magnetic fields.

 Do not eject a diskette while the disk drive indicator light is on. This could

result in loss of data or incomplete loading of a show. Wait until the
indicator light goes off before ejecting.

TO FORMAT A DISK:

Disk must be formatted before recording show information to the disk.

Press and hold Shift and Press 5

Select 12; press Enter

When format is complete, disk will stop and console restores.

WRITE PROTECTION:

Write protection locks the disk, preventing alteration of stored data. To
write protect the disk:

 Orient the diskette so that the round metal circle is pointed toward you.

 With the metal flap on top, the write-protect tab is located in the lower

right-hand corner. If this tab is closed, the diskette is not Write Protected.
If the tab is open, the diskette is Write Protected, and no new data can
be recorded.

Diskettes may be purchased from EDl (Part#119-0058) or any
computer supply house. Diskettes should be double-sided,
high-density, MF2-HD diskette equivalent. Two non-formatted
disks are supplied with the Plus console.

PILE-ON MODE

In Pile-On mode, channel levels assigned to the Independent
Fader add to the output of other sections of the console. In this
mode the Independent Fader relates to the Grand Master in
two ways; fully independent and scaled. When the Independent
Fader is assigned to the Grand Master, the Pile-On output of
the Independent Fader is scaled by the level of the Grand
Master.

If the Independent Fader is fully independent, the output is not
affected by the Grand Master, so if the Grand Master is at zero,
the levels generated by the Independent Fader will be dis­played.

Page switch. The active page switch assigns the
Submaster 'looks' of that page to the step switch.

If the step switch is positioned at '3' and the page
switch is on '4'. The first 3 Submaster 'looks' on
Submaster page 4 will be the 3 steps in the Step
window. Recorded Submasters from a different page
can operate while 'steps' are operating on the Effects
Generator.

If the Effects page is the same as the Submaster page,
then the console operates on a 'highest takes
precedence' basis. This means that the Submaster
slider will override the output of the Effect if the
Submaster slider is set at a higher level than the Effect
Master. This also means that the Effect will not go to '0'
output if the Submaster slider is set slightly below the
level of the Effects Master.
