Revision 2 - 26 April, 2000 HP SERIES DIMMER TECHNICAL MANUAL
4.1.9 TEST function
(
Figure 4.2
Each channel may be tested individually, or as a group, by fading them from 0 to
100%. Any previously disabled channel may be selected and tested.
•
Press the TEST keypad button and the display will show “TEST”.
•
Next press the desired channel SELECT buttons. This will take the selected
channel(s) off-line from the DMX input. The remaining channel(s) will stay on-line.
•
The STATUS LED(s) will flash to indicate which channel(s) are under test. As the
LEVEL/FUNCTION encoder wheel is rotated, the channel level(s) will change
from their current level.
•
When all tests are completed, press the NORMAL button. The display will change
to “OK” to indicate the dimmer is now back in normal operating mode and all
channels are once again on-line to the DMX input control signal.
4.2 Deep clear
(
Figure 4.2
In the event of a software “lockup” or error message (see section 5.2), the HP dimmers
have a facility that enables them to be Deep Cleared.
CAUTION
THIS FUNCTION WILL ERASE THE CURRENT SETTINGS IN MEMORY
AND REQUIRES RE-INITIALISING OF THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE AND
NUMBER OF CHANNELS. ENSURE THAT THE VOLTAGE IS SET TO 120
VOLTS IF RUNNING ANY 120 VOLT LAMPS, OR DAMAGE TO THE
LAMPS MAY RESULT.
•
Hold down the MODE and DMX BANK buttons while turning power ON to
the dimmer.
•
Use the FUNCTION encoder wheel to select either “120V” output or
“240V” output on the display and press ENTER. Individual channel output
voltage may be changed later via the MODE menu (see section 4.1.4.1).
•
Next use the encoder wheel to select “12ch” output for HP12-TR / HP12-SC
(“6ch” output for HP6-SC), and press ENTER.
•
The display will change to “OK” to indicate the dimmer is now back in normal
operating mode.
4.2.1 Quick deep clear
Holding down the three buttons MODE, DMX CH and DMX BANK while turning
power ON performs a normal deep clear, except the channel and voltage options are
bypassed and the dimmer is configured for 12 by 240V channels.
