CONSOLE LOCKOUT: You can set any dimmer
channel output to ignore DMX signal inputs from a
DMX console by assigning it to DMX channel 000.
This feature can be used with house lights or other
special lighting. The channel will still respond to wall
remotes but the DMX console will be ignored.
REMOTE LOCKOUT
The Remote Lockout function prevents the RA-121
from responding to the smart remote wall stations
when a DMX signal from a control console is present.
Simple remote stations will still function.
At the RA-121 front panel - push CONFIG until the
DMX I/O Setup menu appears on the display.
Push
ENTER. Then push CONFIG . The display will
show the lockout menu.
Use the and buttons to select Y (yes) or N (no).
Push
ENTER when the desired state is shown.
CREATING AND EDITING SCENES
At the RA-121 front panel - push CONFIG until the
SCENE SETUP menu appears on the display.
Push
ENTER . The display shows the current scene
number.
Use the and buttons to select the scene you
want to set up and push
ENTER . Scene 00 controls
blackout fade time. Scene 01 is the first actual scene.
There are three ways to create or set up a scene:
1. Set each channel intensity manually (EDIT
SCENE).
2. Copy another existing scene (COPY SCENE).
You can then edit the results.
3. Record a snapshot of the current channel
intensities
(RECORD LIVE NOW).
Push CONFIG to select the menu for one of the 3
methods described above. The display will show the
corresponding menu.
TO CREATE A SCENE MANUALLY
Push ENTER when EDIT SCENE is shown.
The current channel number is shown on the display
upper left. The current scene number (which was
selected in the previous step) is shown on the display
upper right. The settings for three channels are shown
on the lower display row.
The LEFT channel on the display is the Current
Channel (the channel which you will set the intensity
level for).
Use the and buttons to set the channel output
intensity. The display shows the intensity setting as a
number between
0% and 100% . A 100% setting is
indicated by “FL” . A “XX” setting means that the
channel will be ignored for the current scene.
Push ENTER after the channel level is set.
Use the and buttons to proceed to the next
channel to be set up. The lower row of the display will
shift to the left. Repeat the channel intensity selection
for that channel.
Push
CLEAR when all the channels for the selected
scene are set. This will not clear your scene settings.
To setup another scene - repeat the process above
using a different scene selection.
