ACN > JAM>PWR

PWR lets you increase the output power of the
transmitter. Default is 8 dBm, up to 18 dBm is possible.
Again, the PIN is required.

ACN > JAM>SYNC

Selecting SYNC opens the screen for sending a sync
command to all ACN-TL or ACL 204 in reach which are
on the same channel and in JAM mode. Syncing is only
possible from a device that has a valid time code

(jammed or set manually), signaled by green flashing
LED.
Default is on no, toggle to yes and push to enter.
After sending out the sync command including time

code and user bit, the other units reply and the
number of units which replied and were successfully
synced is displayed.
A device that received a sync command will memorize
when the sync command was received. The
transmitting device also memorizes the event. The
information is displayed when ACN is selected from the
main menu.

There may be various reasons for a “sync failed” returned:

For time code:

If the frame rates of sending and receiving device do not match (integer vs. non-

integer frame rates like 25 fps and 29.97 fps, the sync command is rejected.

If “OFF” is selected in the GEN>JamTC settings.

If “manual/once” is selected in the GEN>JamTC settings and the device has been

jammed before.
