LED INDICATORS

Three LEDs are used to indicate power supply and processor run status and data
receive detection.

Glowing steadily indicates power supply and processor OK; off indicates no

RUN

power, and flashing indicates defective proces sor hardware.
Glowing steadily indicates data 1 signal received; off indicates no signal

RxD

present. Note that an address selection out of the range of the data signal
will extinguish the LED.
Glowing steadily indicates data 2 signal received; off indicates no signal

ERR

present. Note that an address selection out of the range of the data signal
will extinguish the LED.

ADDRESS SELECTION

Three rotary switches select the offset start address for the unit in most
configurations. For dual AMX output, the address switches select the starting
dimmer number for the second AMX output line. In test mode, the switches set
dimmers to full one at a time. The switches are set as (S1) hundreds, (S2) tens

BACKUP
Input 1 takes priority over 2: input 2 is activ e on loss of 1

PILE-ON

Highest channel on each input takes precedence

MERGE

Input 2 appended to input 1 for one continuous output stream

TEST MODES (de termined by I/O mode)
Input Test: Receive data LEDs indicate correct data signal (on steadily), faulty or

incorrect signal (flashing), or absence of any signal (off).
Output Test: Desired output protocol transmitted on dimmer selected by Address
Switches. Output set to full or cycled per switch 8.

STATUS QUO HOLD TIME

ENABLED (5 MIN. TIME OUT)
DISABLED (2 SEC. TIMEOUT)

Maintains last dimmer settings for a set time on loss of input data signal

CALIBRATE M ODE

D/A OUTPUT ENABLED

Analog output level can be tested at J3-AN1 using a DC voltmeter: no other functions
active

D/A OUTPUT CHECK DISABLED OFF

TEST CYCLE MODE

TEST CYCLE ENABLED

Ramps the selected dimmer up and down continuously between zero and full

TEST CYCLE DISABLED

Sets the selected dimmer to full
