Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, douse and start. These must be executed with zero
time transition or with console timing disabled. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls such as faders or
encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Douse - turns lamp off.
Start - strikes lamp.
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 85 for reset). Hold value for 3 seconds.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling values. Action will be voided if other
values are detected between action value and zero.)
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does not allow for a quick value
change, which is required to effect the control functions.
