Fireblock Hex Batt WIFI Owner Handbook™
Operation of the Lanta Fireblock Hex Batt WIFI™
To select the various different modes of operation, there is a 4 button keypad and a 4
digit LED display on the rear of the product.
To begin, press the button marked “MENU”. Each press will choose one of the working
modes described below. Once the desired mode has been selected, the button marked
“ENTER” will allow the user to select a parameter that they wish to change (such as speed
etc). To choose a value of the parameter, press either the “UP” or “DOWN” buttons until
the desired setting is achieved.
Note:
The LED display will enter power saving mode after 60 seconds after the last button
press. It will turn on again after pressing any button.
Note:
When first powered on, the display will briefly show the firmware version
programmed into the memory of the controller. This is displayed as a “CP” followed by
the version number. (e.g. “CP56”)
1- DMX Mode
It is possible to operate the Lanta Fireblock Hex Batt WIFI™ from a remote location by
using either a DMX controller or a PC or laptop with a DMX interface. Lanta products
use a 3 pin XLR style connector and usually have an input and output DMX connector.
This allows multiple lighting products to be “daisy-chained” together to build a display
controlled by just one cable back to the DMX controller.
Note:
In larger installations, there may be limitations regarding the maximum length of
DMX cables and the maximum number of devices that can be used in one daisy-chain
(or node).
Note:
It is often desirable to terminate the last device on the node to minimize noise
and interference. Interference on a DMX network can make some lighting products
to behave erratically; this is most noticeable with moving head or other motorized
products. This is not a fault with the lighting product.
Please see your DMX controller handbook for further details.
To use the built-in DMX function, it is necessary to set the DMX address. To do so, first
choose the correct mode by pressing the “MENU” button until the LED display shows “A”
followed by a 3-digit number (e.g. A007). Press “Enter”and this will flash. The “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons allow the selection of the DMX address and can be selected between
001 and 512. Press “Enter” to store.
The Lanta Fireblock Hex Batt WIFI™ uses several adjacent CHANNELS of DMX and the first
will be determined by the DMX address setting - as described above - and the second
CHANNEL will be one CHANNEL higher and so on. E.g. if the DMX address has been set to
105, then the Lanta Fireblock Hex Batt WIFI™ will be operated by channels 105 and 106 etc.
