Presets
99 user programmable SWC presets,plus preset 0 (blackout)
Snapshot recording of SWC presets from any remote preset sta-
tion,hand held programmer or Reporter Program
Individual SWC preset crossfade time recording
One user assignable SWC backup preset on loss of both Mux
inputs
16 rooms,each with 8 Outlook presets,plus on/off, per room
Control Electronics - Performance
Fast dimmer update rate,16 ms (60 Hz) or 20 ms (50 Hz)
Response time to signal changes,16 ms (60 Hz)
or 20 ms (50 Hz)
Line regulation maintains dimmer output levels to within +/- 1V of
set output within the range of the control electronics (90V to 240V
nominal),providing that the set level is not higher than the power
input voltage less the dimmer voltage loss.
Automatically compensates for frequency variations
45 Hz to 62 Hz.
Up to 8 point interpolation between DMX values to smooth console fade.
Line and load regulation acts on each individual dimmer and maintains dimmer curve parameters (set curve,max level and min level)
Control Electronics - Programmable Features
Patching
User programmable patches for Mux A and B inputs
PANIC Function
Any of the 96 dimmer and 12 analog outputs may be user selected
to go to fully ON on activation of the PANIC switch or an external
switch
Activation is by hardware only
Optional PANIC power supply for automatic PANIC ON upon
removal of processor module
Thermal Control
All power components convection cooled with fan assist
High capacity heat sink in each module
3 fans for redundancy in case of one fan failure
Over temperature warning on rack,remote console or PC
Over temperature warning forces cooling fans on at full
Over temperature shut down at 5°C above warning level
PANIC operation forces cooling fans on at full
Opto-Isolation
All digital inputs are opto-isolated to 2,500V RMS
