IV. SYSTEM INTERFACE AND OPERATION
The following section will provide all necessary operational information for the various
functions of the fixture. Depending on installation requirements, the fixture may be used in
a conventional manner (manual mode), or can support the use of DMX-512 protocol for
digital lighting control (optional on 250 watt units).
Control Interface
Rear Cover
The controls for the fixture are found on the back cover and consist of several components.
These include a display, integral selection buttons, power switch/ circuit breaker, and two
DMX ports (input and through). Other items located on this panel are the power cable with
strain relief and carrying handle.
Function Display
The display and related buttons serve to track lamp life in hours and select fixture address.
Whenever the fixture is turned ON, the display will remain active for approximately 5 min-
utes. This time will extend to approximately 5 minutes after the
last function or selection
input
is made to the fixture (after it first turned ON) and additional control interfacing is
necessary. After approximately 5 minutes, the display will extinguish and remain in a
“sleep” mode. The fixture will remain like this until the selection button is depressed once.
If it is necessary to see the display (read lamp hours or to change the fixture address),
press the FUNCTION SELECTION BUTTON and the display will reactivate. After the initial
5 minutes the fixture is ON, the display will remain active for 30 seconds
after the last
function or selection button
is depressed
before returning to the “sleep” mode.
