7. DimSTAT

DimSTAT provides a system-wide network, and
operates on a host polling protocol where the PC
searches for connected dimmers at initiation, and
then regularly polls dimmers for data to display. If a
fault occurs, the PC’s display instantly shows the
detail, and if the fault is cleared the system resets
accordingly. Information displayed includes: DMX
start address per unit, DMX OK, line voltage, current
per channel, dimmer curve, response time, max.
setting, type of fault reported (temperature, overload
etc.), date and time of fault. It is possible to set the
dimmer curve, start address and pre-heat from
DimSTAT software on the PC. The operation and
performance of the PowerModule dimmer is
monitored constantly and comprehensively by the
on-board data processors, and this information is
available on the LCD screen of the dimmer, and
through DimSTAT. The parameters measured and
reported are:

a) DMX OK
b) DMX channel numbers
c) DMX levels
d) line voltage
e) current per dimmer
f) current per phase per rack
g) frequency
h) dimmer curve
i) temperature per module
j) temperature per rack

For further information, please refer to the DimSTAT
software manual.
