REALTIME CLOCK BATTERY

The MSC’s internal realtime clock is battery-backed to ensure operation when the unit is not
powered. The battery should last for at least 10 years and is easily replaced when necessary,
replacement battery: Renata CR2032 Lithium Button Cell.

MEMORY CARD

The MSC is shipped with a 256Mbyte SD Memory Card which should be sufficient for most
projects since the MSC’s data storage is extremely efficient, even with a multitude of imported
media files. However, a larger capacity card could of course be fitted if required.

As only the project’s programming data resides on the card, the card is also a convenient way to
backup data for archiving; the Designer project file for example.

Furthermore, in the event of MSC hardware failure, simply moving the card into a replacement
unit with identical or more recent firmware is sufficient to get the project up and running again.

STATUS LEDS

The ETC logo will illuminate when power is applied to the MSC. The red LEDs on the front of
the MSC indicate the unit’s current status.

The Active LED illuminates once the boot up procedure has completed and is indicative of a
fully functional unit.

The Ethernet LED indicates Mosaic-related network activity (not network link, see Ethernet
port later) while the remaining LEDs indicate communication on the various ports of the MSC.

The Output LED indicates that a valid project file has been loaded from the memory card and
that playback & data output has started.

The DMX LED indicates that valid DMX512 data is being output from the DMX ports.

ERROR CODES

Additionally the red status LEDs are used to indicate any boot failures of the MSC that prevent
the unit from going active. These codes are outlined below and in all cases the Active LED will
be off.

batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ATTENTION: Il y a un danger d’explosion s’il y a un remplacement incorrect de batterie.
