Description

The Gotham Incito downlighting family utilizes DMX512 protocol via a DMX converter module (DMXR option (HPEPP module), see figure 1) over Category 5 cable and has the capability to communicate with the lighting controller (processor, light board, Easyl controller, etc.) via RDM (Remote Device Management). The Remote Device Management Protocol (RDM) permits intelligent bi-directional communication between devices from multiple manufacturers utilizing a modified DMX512 data link. RDM is an EF 1.0 implementation of ANSI E1.11. RDM permits a console or other controlling device to discover and then configure, monitor, and manage intermediate and end-devices connected through a DMX512 network. RDM provides for intelligent control of devices on a DMX512 network, which has not been previously available outside of proprietary networks. This standard specifies: the physical layer and timings, device discovery process and algorithms, message structure and communication. The DMX to 0-10V

to either one DMX slot or two DMX slots: when one slot is used to control it, the converter will up convert the 255 DMX steps to the full output resolution by fading smoothly between the steps. When 2 DMX slots are used the converter will provide user access to the full 4000 steps.

ONBOARD BUTTON PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

PLEASE READ ALL 7 STEPS BEFORE PROGRAMMING

1. Enter programming mode by pressing & holding the button until the LED flashes rapidly. Release the button (see Figure 1).

2. To enter a specific programming mode, (see Function Table for modes) press the button the same number of times as the desired function. For example, press the button 3 times for function

3. The LED will indicate the function’s current setting by blinking the LED. For example, 2 blinks for function 3 is 2 DMX slots Linear. To edit the options of the currently selected function, proceed to step 4 before the LED blink sequence repeats 10 times. To exit the current function or to change to a different function, wait for the LED blink sequence to repeat 10 times. This will exit editing mode. Or, press and hold the button until the LED blinks rapidly. This enters confirmation

4. To edit each specific option, press the button to increment current value to the next item in the function table for the particular option you wish to modify. For example, in programming mode 3 (Configure DMX Channel Footprint) to change from option 1, 1-DMX Slot Linear to option 2, 2DMX Slots Linear, press the button 1 time. The LED will blink the new option value 10 times, and then exit programming mode. If confirmation of settings is not performed during this process, the HPEPP will exit without saving new value. Pressing the confirmation sequence acknowledges acceptance of the new option value.

5. Next, exit edit mode and proceed to confirmation mode by pressing and holding the button until the LED flashes rapidly. Release the button.

6. Re-enter the edited function number as final confirmation of the edited options.

7. The LED will blink twice to indicate acceptance of the new option values. If two flashes are not seen, repeat the entire process.

Notes:

- If there are 20 seconds of inactivity (no button presses) at any point in this process, the edit process will cancel and exit, and all changes will be lost.

- A value of 0 is indicated by 10 LED blinks.

- When acknowledging a selected value by blinking the LED 10 times, there will be a 1 second pause after the 10th blink, then the cycle will repeat.

- When indicating the selected menu value by blinking the LED, during the last blink in the cycle the LED will remain on for 1 second. All other blinks in the cycle will be for 1/2 second.

- Edit mode will always increment value being flashed for each button press.

- Also make sure you set the luminaire type at controller to match the setting for HPEPP.

If changing the MSD from “0” to “2”, while the HPEPP is flashing the MSD 10 times (zero), press the

Function 1 - Enable Button Override (aka Button Mode, Focus)

4 blinks = button override disabled

5 blinks = button override enabled

When button override is enabled, each short button press (not in programming mode) will step the output through an OFF, 50%, 100% light level cycle.

Note: A button press longer that a quick tap will put the unit in programming mode. Take care not to accidentally put the unit in programming mode.

Function 2 = Set DMX Address

The LED will blink each digit of the current DMX address. (the digits will blink twice a second.)

Blink 1st digit, 1 second pause - blink 2nd digit, 1 second pause - blink 3rd digit, 3 second pause – repeat

The new address is set by pressing desired digit change during the flashing of that digit.

For example:

• the most significant digit for address 206 it’s “2”.

• address 8 (or 008, sometimes DMX addresses are documented with all three digits) is “8”

• address 17 (or 017) is “1”

button twice. Once done entering the first digit (most significant digit) do not press the button for 3 seconds. The unit will then confirm the first digit by blinking the LED twice. Next, enter the second digit the same way as the first while the second digit is flashing. (if applicable), then the third digit. (if applicable) Once all digits are entered, press and hold the button to exit programming mode and confirm the changes. (See step 5 above).

Note: 0 is indicated by 10 blinks. If you change any of the digits, the HPEPP will flash the new value for the digit and process to next lower byte.

Function 3 = Configure DMX Channel Footprint/RDM Personality

1 blink = 8-Bit Linear No Relay(1 chan)

2 blinks = 16-Bit Linear No Relay((2 chan)

3 blinks = 8-Bit Log No Relay(1 chan)

4 blinks = 16-Bit Log No Relay(2 chan)

5 blinks = 8-Bit Linear w/Relay(2 chan)

6 blinks = 8-Bit Log w/Relay(2 chan)

7 blinks = 16-Bit Linear w/Relay(3 chan)

8 blinks = 16-Bit Log w/Relay(3 chan)

Glossary of Terms

Lighting controller: is an electronic device used in theatrical lighting design to control multiple

lights at once. All lighting control consoles can control dimmers which control the intensity of the lights. A lighting controller can be a console type processor such as the Pathway CognitoTMor a wall controller such as an EasylTM. DMX512: is a standard for digital communication networks that are commonly used to control stage lighting and effects. Slot: a sequentially numbered framed byte in a DMX512 packet. A single Universe contains a maximum of 513 Slots, starting at slot 0. Slot 0 is the START Code. Slots 1 through 512 are data

Slot Footprint: the number of data slots used by a product in its operation. Note: A 24 way dimmer rack may have a footprint of 24, it may be more if some slots are used to provide additional control functions using NULL START Code packets. Automated luminaires usually require a Slot Footprint of greater than one. Universe: a DMX512 data link originating from a single DMX512 source. Control of up to 512 DMX512 data slots comprises a single universe. Daisy chain: is a wiring scheme in which multiple devices are wired together in sequence or in a ring. RDM (Remote Device Management): is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management of these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard DMX512 devices that do not recognize the RDM protocol. Termination plug: is used when you are using several DMX luminaires on a single DMX line (Universe). It removes noise and flickering on the DMX line which improves the reliability of the DMX system. When a DMX signal has travelled to the end of the DMX line, if not terminated, will exhibit what is referred to as a “shadow” signal bouncing back along the line which can cause many problems with you DMX luminaires. The longer the DMX cable run the greater the risk of getting signal bounce back.
