Reference: The manual is structured in a way that makes it easy to find the required information: there is a list of contents for
each section - so it is also helpful to experienced users.

Important: This short introduction is a good aid to work with LUNA 24. But it doesn’t replace the main manual.
Before you start working with LUNA 24 please read the main manual, especially chapters „Precautions and Safety instructions“
and „Transport and Installation“.

The chapters: This manual is structured as follows:

CHOOSING OPERATING MODES the 4 operating modes and how they are selected/installed
OPERATING MODE 1 the functions of the normal A-B operation with 12 circuits
OPERATING MODE 2 the functions of 1 preset / 12 scene-faders-operation including 12 circuits

OPERATING MODE 3 the functions of 1 preset / crossfader-operation with 24 circuits

OPERATING MODE 4 the functions of 12 scene-fader-operation with 24 circuits
CHASER how to use the chaser - programming and operating
AUDIO-EFFECTS the 5 audio-effects - programming and operating

INTRODUCTION

LUNA 24 CHOOSING OPERATING MODES

LUNA 24 can be operated in 4 different ways for different tasks.

Operating mode 1: 2 Preset With the faders of PRESET A and PRESET B you must first produce two different,
12 circuits A- B - Operation independent lighting scenes. Then you can mix MASTER A and MASTER B.

Operating mode 2: 1 Preset The PRESET A-faders produce lighting scenes. The PRESET B-faders work as scene 12 circuits
12 Scene Masters masters. Complete lighting scenes can be stored and recalled through them.

Operating mode 3: 1 Preset Use PRESET A to work on channels 1-12; use PRESET B to work on channels 13-24. 24 circuits
Crossfader MASTER B is the „crossfader“ to mix stored lighting scenes.

Operating mode 4: 12 Scene Masters Faders of PRESET A can be used alternatively for circuit 1-12 or 13-24. Faders of
24 circuits PRESET B work as scene masters. 24-Circuit scenes can be stored and recalled.

PRESET- fader: Two scenes (A and B) can be produced and crossfaded.
Each scene can control 12 independent light spot circuits.
While one scene is on output the other can be prepared with the 12 faders of PRESET A or
PRESET B.

MASTER- fader: Fade in or out the chosen scene with MASTER A and MASTER B.
(Depending on setting MASTER B might be inverted.)

OUTPUT- LEDs: OUTPUT-LEDs illuminate according to the channel settings.

FADE TIME: The FADE TIME-fader influences the MASTER A- and MASTER B-faders.
It is slowing down the fading regarding the chosen time.
The display is showing vertically above the MASTER B-fader the process of
fading with 4 vertical lines.
The left two lines indicate fading in, the right ones indicate fading out.
The left ones refer to MASTER A, the right ones to MASTER B.

FLASH- mode: The grey FLASH-keys are used for two different functions.
FLASH MODE-key is choosing the function.
It then is shown in the display.

Flash one channel: FLASH MODE = „CHANNEL FLASH“
Press required FLASH-key.
