Patch Settings:

This function allows you to overlap DMX channels

together, giving you up to 96 DMX channels to work with. This function

is useful if you would like several channels on one DMX pack to turn at

once. For example, say you have a 4 channel DMX pack with 5 amps

maximum load per a channel and you want to turn on four 500 watt

lamps on DMX channel one. Your DMX pack is automatically going to

assign one 4 DMX channels to your pack one for one. To reduce the

risk of constantly blowing your pack you can plug each lamp into all

four (4) of your packs channels. Then you can patch these channels

to be triggered all at once. Since each of the 16 channels of the Light

Station™ represent a DMX channel you would only have 16 to work

with. However, if you patch your DMX channels, you could have a

maximum of six DMX channels triggered per a channel on the controller.

So, you could tell your controller to trigger DMX channels 1-4 by slider

1 on the board. This would then activate all four channels on your

DMX pack, allowing all four lamps to be turned on at once, therefore

eliminating the possibility of blowing you pack channels due to excessive

load per a channel, because now your lamps are spread out through

your pack. To patch channels:

1.Press and hold down the PATCH BUTTON (27) until the red

indicator LED turns on.

2.The LCD DISPLAY (6) will read “01:01.” The left two digits

represent the controllers 16 channels (1-8 faders and 9-16 Latch

Buttons). The right two digits represent the 96 available DMX

channels.

3. Use the STEP up and DOWN BUTTONS (20 & 21) to adjust the

DMX channels you wish to patch.

4. Use the PATTERN UP and DOWN BUTTONS (18 & 19) to select

the controller channel (1-16) you wish to patch the DMX channel

too.

5. Be sure to select your DMX channel before you select your

controller channel to complete this function properly.

6. After you have completed your adjustments, hold down the PATCH

BUTTON (27) until the red indicator LED shuts off, to exit this

function.

Manual Mode:

This function shuts off all other functions and allow

you to use the controller as a basic on/off dimmer. To activate this mode

press and release the MANUAL BUTTON (28) while holding down the

SHIFT BUTTON (16).

nels 1-8 when in chase mode. This function will only effect channels 1-8,

channels 9-16 will continue to chase normally. In this function you can
