Doug Fleenor Design ALARM INTERFACE - Manual (Page 2)

Recording the emergency backup look
The emergency backup look comes from the factory defaulted to all 512 channels set to
full. If some other emergency backup look is required, perform the following procedure
to record the new lighting levels.
- Connect a DMX512 source to the DMX INPUT.
- Set the emergency backup lighting levels using the control source just connected.
- Press the “RECORD PRESET” switch.
- The red REC/PWR LED will flash indicating that the recording process has begun.
- After about 1 second, the green REC DMX LED will turn on indicating that the ALARM
INTERFACE is receiving a good DMX512 signal. The red REC/PWR LED will
continue to flash.
- After another second, the green REC DMX LED will turn off and the red REC/PWR
LED will turn on solid. This indicates that the emergency backup look has been
recorded and that the ALARM INTERFACE has returned to normal operation.
Note 1: If the green REC DMX LED does not turn on during this process, this indicates
that no valid DMX signal is being received. The recording process is aborted without
changing the existing emergency backup look.
Note 2: The emergency backup look is held in non-volatile flash memory. No power or
battery is required to retain the contents of the emergency backup look.
Verifying the emergency backup look
A test jumper has been provided to allow the installer to verify that the proper
emergency backup look has been recorded. To verify the contents of the emergency
backup look, perform the following procedure.
- Turn off the normal source of DMX512 signals. Verify that the room lighting is off.
- Move the test jumper from the NORM position to the TEST position. The jumper is
located just above and between the DMX OUT and CLOSURE FROM ALARM
terminal blocks.
- Verify that the room lighting goes immediately to the emergency backup look levels.
- Move the test jumper back to the NORM position.
- Verify that the normal source of DMX512 can now control the room lighting.
If the emergency backup look is not as desired, record a new look as described earlier.
