P18
5. Control panel
The P18 has a graphic colour touch display that can be rotated 180° when installed in a suspended
position. The display can be rotated via the touch screen from software version 1.5.
All parameters of the P18 can be set on the control panel (see menu overview page 12).
Function and operation of the display
The main menu provides information regarding the set DMX mode and, when the wireless mode
is switched on, the field strength of the associated transmitter module. "ENTER" calls up a sub-
menu or confirms an input. "ESC" is used to exit a function or a menu item. "UP" and "DOWN"
are used to navigate within the menu and to enter values.
Special areas can only be called up using a specific key combination. To do this, press and hold
the "ENTER" key and then use the opposite "ESC" key to access the menu. To exit the function,
proceed in reverse order.
This applies in the SERVICE area for the FINE ADJUST function and in the STANDALONE area
for the MODIFY, RUN and REMOTE functions.
The main menu can also be locked to prevent unintentional access. It is also locked by pressing
the "ENTER" key (keep it pressed) and then additionally locking it with the opposite "ESC" key.
From software 1.5 onwards, all functions can also be operated via the touch display. Starting
with software 1.5, the display is enhanced to show the cooling mode and the set camera mode.
Display illumination as function display
The display illumination remains switched off during the reset. Slowly flashing display illumination
when "JB-Lighting" is displayed means no DMX signal is present.
Rapidly flashing display illumination when "JB-Lighting" is displayed means that an uncleared
error has been stored in the "ERROR LIST", (see page 12/26). Rapidly flashing display
illumination with an error message in the display (e.g. *PAN TIMEOUT) indicates a current error.
In this case, please contact your dealer or our service department. If the P18 receives a DMX
signal, the display illumination goes out after 30 seconds.
DMX addressing
In the main menu, the DMX address can be set directly by pressing the up/down keys. Pressing
the left key below the display activates battery operation for the display, e.g. the DMX address
can be set without power connection.
