Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten Profiles
Direct Control
The first DMX channel always controls Intensity from 0 to 100%.
Fan Control (D60)
Only the D60 fixtures have a fan. Thus, options for Fan Control are available only on D60
fixtures. The Fan setting allows four options: DMX, Slow, Fast, and Automatic.
With Fan set to DMX, an additional channel of DMX control is added to the fixture profile,
immediately following the channel for Strobe. Control is as follows:
• DMX 0 — Fan turns on and off automatically, as needed for cooling. Fan remains off
when not required by the fixture.
• DMX 1 to 254 — Fan is forced on at a continuously variable speed from low to high.
Occasionally, the fan speed may be increased automatically by the fixture for additional
cooling power when required.
• DMX 255 — Fan is forced on at its highest, loudest speed for maximum consistency of
noise produced by the fixture.
With Fan set to Slow, Fast, or Automatic, there is no channel for fan control within the DMX
profile. At Slow and Fast settings, the fan operates whenever the fixture is powered on,
independent of other fixture settings or control.
• Slow — Fan runs continuously at a low-noise speed. When necessary, the fan speed
may be increased automatically by the fixture for additional cooling power.
• Fast — Fan runs continuously at its highest, loudest speed, which never increases
automatically.
• Automatic — Fan operation is intermittent and based entirely on the fixture's internally
calculated cooling requirements.
