DMX:
When selected, the dimmer pack responds to
USITT DMX-512 signals received on the male 5 pin
XLR connector in one end of the unit. The female 5
pin XLR connector is used to pass the DMX signal on
to another DMX dimmer pack.
STAND ALONE CHASE: This menu enables chaser
operation. The dimmer will ignore other signal
sources when chaser operation is active.
LOCAL: Local control enables you to operate the
XC-40 channels manually without an external
controller. You can set a static scene and leave the
unit as is. This may be useful for a store display or
other situation where a continuous lighting scene is
needed. The dimmer will IGNORE OTHER
CONTROL SIGNAL SOURCES when local
operation is active.
See the section for CHANNEL TEST for more about
operating channels locally.
ARCH: Operation from Lightronics architectural
smart remote stations.
