To set-up a DMX Minimum reset
In order to reduce dynamic filament noise in 120V Par lamps or to increase the rate
of response of high wattage filaments, it is sometimes necessary to use a low
preheat level. DMX minimum reset is an automatic means to reduce energy
consumption by switching off any preheat levels when DMX is not present (i.e. when
the control desk is switched off, but the dimmers remain on).
1. Select INSTALL from the home menu.

menu. Press SELECT.
3. Press DOWN or UP or use the rotary encoder to choose DMX MINIMUM
RESET menu. Press SELECT.
