3. Getting Started
After unpacking the console and checking that you have all the included items shipped with your console (refer to
"Included Items" on page 3 for details), you may begin connecting your 100 Plus Series Console to power and
lighting system.

The 100 Plus Series Console requires a sturdy, flat surface for installation (unless the unit is to be rack mounted - see
"Rack Mounting" on page 7 for information). The surface should be able to support the weight of the console and
should provide suitable ventilation. Also, the site should be clean (i.e. absent of any construction dust or debris) and
dry. Before setting up, ensure that the installation site meets these requirements. For operational and space
requirements, refer to "TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS" on page 16.
Connecting Power
The power supply shipped with your 100 Plus Series Console is an auto-ranging, universal voltage supply. It operates
between 90 to 240 VAC.
To connect the power supply:
Step 1. As shown in Figure 3, make sure unit’s power switch is set to "Off"
Step 2. Connect DC connector from power supply to DC IN on console.

2. Manual Crossfades
Preset Master A is at full when the fader is in the UP position and at 0 when the fader is in the DOWN position. Preset
Master B is just the opposite of Preset Master A. (Refer to the vertical numbering beside the playbacks). This allows
for proportional crossfades by moving both faders simultaneously in the same direction.
Individual channel fader control works the same in two scene mode as it does in one scene mode.

Make sure the Grand Master and Preset Master A levels are full or at the desired level.
Once the masters are set, simply set the Channel Faders (1 - 24) to the
desired levels. At this point, the dimmers should correspond to the level of
the Channel Faders. The fader output of the fader that is being adjusted will
be shown in the LED Display on a scale from 0 to 100.

Figure 10: Hold Button - Single Scene Mode
To use Hold Button Operation
Step 1. Select current settings with channel faders. Make sure Preset Master A is at "10" and Preset Master B is at
"0" (zero).
Note: The hold feature can only be activated and deactivated with playbacks in these positions.
Step 2. Press the HOLD button. The HOLD LED indicator should be illuminated. The current settings will now be
recorded into the HOLD's memory.
Step 3. You can now set the channels to the levels required for the next cue. The channel levels will not output as
live.
Step 4. You can now move Preset Master A to "0" (zero) while moving Master Preset B level to 10. During the
crossfade, the HOLD LED will be flashing. The new cue will output and the previous cue will fade out.
Step 5. Once both Preset Master A and Preset Master B have reached the bottom of the current Channel Fader
settings, they will now be recorded into HOLD's memory . Note, the HOLD LED will stop flashing but
remain on indicating the activation of the HOLD feature.
Step 6. The operator is now free to reset all Channel Faders to the levels for the next cue. Once the channel faders
are set, crossfade Preset Master A back to 10 and Preset Master B back to 0. During crossfade operation, the
hold LED will flash. After the crossfade is complete, the new cue will now be outputting live and locked
into HOLD's memory. Note, the HOLD LED should still be illuminated.
Step 7. You can now repeat the above steps to continue crossfading between cues.
Step 8. Press HOLD button again to release the HOLD function when Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders
are at the top. After pressing HOLD, the HOLD LED should turn off.
Note: For timed crossfades - use the same procedure as the manual crossfade but with the fade timer set to the
preferred fade time. The LED display will show the fade time that is set.
6. Effect - Single Scene Mode
An effect is a way to get fast changing output of dimmer levels in a specific order. The effect capability of this
console is limited but simple to do. The console can run one effect at a time.
Set the console to single scene mode. Set Preset Master A to 0 (Down) and Preset Master B to 0 (Up). Preset Master
B will become the effect master. (See the colored information beside the Playback B). Set current fader levels to
include only the faders that will be in the effect. Set them to any level from 1 to 100.

will fade Memory 1 out and fade Memory 2 in.
