Download the software in the product`s download section (www.eurolite.de > product page). Start the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions.
Check all boxes as shown above.
USB drivers installation
Install USB drivers to communicate with the device and change settings. Installation of USB drivers is required only for Windows at the end of installation. Drivers for Mac and Linux systems are installed automatically. USB drivers verification: In the Windows Device Manager. Check that the device icon is visible in “USB Bus Controllers”.
If drivers are not installed, the Windows Device Manager lists a device with a yellow warning. On Mac OS, simply check the USB device tree to view “DMX 512 Stand Alone Device”. On Linux, use the “lsusb” command to view “DMX 512 Stand Alone Device” as a list. After control software installation and USB drivers Connect the device with the USB cable. Start the DEVICETOOL or the software and select “Open USB Device” or “USB” to check the
success of drivers installation.
7

Stand-alone mode settings
Start by creating scenes for your fixtures in the edit panel of the control software, then select stand-alone mode and configure the device according to the available options. Then select and configure the triggers of scenes to be written in memory.
Device configuration
IN/OUT tab
Select a DMX input/Output configuration of the device from the drop-down menu.
Available configurations will be displayed depending on the connected device.
A OUT – Assigns 1 output universe on the DMX line(s), for devices that have more than 1 DMX lines duplicate the universe on each.
AB OUT – Assigns 1 different output universe on 2 DMX lines, for devices that have 4 DMX lines duplicates the first 2 lines on the next 2 lines.
A OUT/B or D IN -Assigns 1 output universe on the first line(s) and uses the last DMX line as DMX input.
ABC OUT – Assigns 1 different universe output on the first 3 DMX lines. ABCD OUT -Assigns 1 different universe output on 4 DMX lines. AB OUT / D IN – Assigns 1 different output universe on the first 2 lines and uses the last
DMX line as DMX input. ABC OUT / D IN – Assigns 1 different output universe on the first 3 lines and uses the last
DMX line as DMX input.
8

“Merge DMX In / DMX Out” option Available with devices with more than 2 or 4 DMX lines. Enable the option to re-inject line configured as an input (IN) to the line(s) configured in DMX outputs and thus merge them. The merged DMX levels are compared and the highest is retained. We are talking about HTP (Highest Takes Priority). Maintain manual control on some circuits with an external DMX console. Create a multi-zone system by merging several cascading devices to obtain only one common DMX line.
Assign any universe of the software to any DMX line assigned to output, choosing line by line (U1…). Optimize the size of shows saved in memory by reducing the number of circuits per universe depending on the channels used. Example: If 150 channels are used in the show, select only the nearest higher value, here 192. Art-Net/sACN universe range: Define the starting universe and the finish universe to write in memory on an external SD card for an Art- Net/sACN show. Cf: “Saving Art-Net or sACN to an external SD card”
9

Clock tab
Set up the selected device’s internal clock. 1-Refreshes the device’s current time display 2-Update the time after changing the hours/minutes/second fields. 3-Calibrate the compensation time according to the observed deviation. 4-Update the date. 5-Sync the date and time of the device with that of the computer. 6-Check to take into account the change of summer/winter time 7-Select the days of change of summer/winter time
Options tab
For devices with an LED display, turn it off after 4 seconds of inactivity by checking the option. Select a default scene to play automatically after the device is turned on (with USB or external power supply). For multi-zones devices it is possible to set a default scene for each area.
10

Note: The selected default start scene loses its priority if another scene uses the “Restore if power off” option. Cf: “Advanced trigger options” Configure the “Select Dimmer channels” option to select separately the Dimmer or RGBW light intensity channels that will be controlled directly by Dimmer mode, dry contacts or via the infrared remote control.
Master/Slave tab
Connect multiple devices into USB so that they are detected by the software. Use the Master/Slave option to synchronise their stand-alone mode and DMX universe. When an device is set as a master in the software, the other devices are automatically put in slave mode.There are four different modes of master/slave interaction: By default, desynchronized, LTP, and no release.
11

Master/Slave mode “by default” A single device is defined as master (lower serial number by default), the others are automatically defined as slaves.The master device plays the current scene and synchronises the slave devices. The master forces slave devices to play the same scene and the same stage step simultaneously. Slave devices are forced to track the timings and triggers of the master and they cannot act otherwise, play or trigger a scene independently. The master can trigger and stop scenes from slave devices. “Desynchronized” Master/Slave mode One device is defined as master, the others are automatically defined as slaves. All master device triggers are transmitted to slaves. However, slave devices are not synchronised with the master device synchronisation signal and retain individual control. Therefore, slaves can trigger and play different scenes at any time and not synchronised perfectly with those of the master.The master acts as a general remote control imposing the trigger on slaves with total priority.The master can trigger ON and OFF scenes from the slave device. Master/Slave mode “LTP” LTP means “Latest Takes Priority / The latter has Priority”.All devices are defined as slaves.The devices are not synchronised with timing and can trigger and play different scenes by themselves.However, device triggers are automatically transmitted to other connected devices and slave devices are forced to trigger the same scene.In this mode, each device acts as a general remote control imposing triggering on other slaves without synchronisation.
Master/Slave mode “No release” This option is only available with LTP or DESYNCHRONIZED modes.Only ON triggers of the master device are executed and functional. All OFF triggers are ignored and slave devices continue to play their current scene. Each slave device can choose whether or not to release its scene depending on whether the option is enabled or not. Cf: “Wiring diagram for Master/Slave installation”
12

Commands tab
Assign external contacts, among those available for your device, to trigger some standalone mode commands: Dimmer +, Dimmer -, Blackout, Speed +, Speed -, Pause, Scene +, Scene – and Zone. Note: Be careful not to use the same command trigger as the one used for a scene and vice versa. Cf: “Choice of triggers by external contacts” Use 2 types of Short/Hold contact and thus assign an identical contact to 2 different commands. (here as an example with the Dimmer +; Dimmer -)
Zones tab
The multi-zone option allows you to play multiple scenes simultaneously in defined areas.
Double-click to switch to edit mode. 13

Set the area settings manually, moving the center bar or digitally choosing the range of the area in the fields.
Note: Verify that the addresses of DMX patches and devices match the defined areas.
Configuring the stand-alone modes of the device

In the “Device” tab enable or disable the standalone modes of the device by clicking on the icons of its schematic representation.
The icon is selected when it appears in blue.

Calibration of Cold White, Warm White and UV components. Select or deselect the cold white, warm white and UV modes to apply these components to the active RGB components according to the selected fusion mode.

Select or deselect warm white and UV modes.

Click on the icon

Scenes selection and configuration
Check to select the scenes to write in memory and assign triggers from those available by your device.
Choice of triggers
In the “Triggers” tab, select and assign different types of triggers.
Triggers by buttons in the “Device” tab Assign physical buttons to scenes using the schematic representation of the device in the “Device” tab.
16

On: Activating the contact makes the scene play (the only trigger action is to start the scene). On/Off: Activating the contact starts the scene, subsequent activation stops the scene.Each trigger action will reverse the stage state (start/stop). Auto Release: The scene is played only while the contact is enabled.When the contact is released, the scene stops. Restart: If the scene is playing, enabling the contact restarts the scene from its beginning.If the scene is not being played, it will start.External contact reaction time: 8 ms (0.008 s) / time between 2 contacts: 500 ms (0.5 s) If something plays: Play the selected scene if a scene is already played. If nothing plays: Play the selected scene if nothing plays. These two interdependent options allow the same contact to be assigned to two different scenes. Note: Be careful not to use the same scene trigger as the one used for a command and vice versa. Cf: “Order tab” The last assigned contact will take precedence over the other. Automatically assign external contacts to all scenes in the list by clicking the external contact icon on the scene list toolbar.
Triggers by DMX-IN 255 trigger channels and up to 255 levels per channel are available. Select a scene from the list and assign it a channel number associated with a trigger level.A trigger level corresponds to the threshold above which the scene is triggered.
Note: To configure triggers in DMX-IN, one of the DMX lines must be Select as input in the “IN/OUT Config tab.”
17

After checking the scenes to write in memory, drag and drop the scenes from the list on the right to the list on the left based on their respective area or page. Automatically assign buttons to all scenes in the list according to their area, by clicking on the “button” icon on the toolbar of the scenes list.
External contacts Trigger: Depending on the device, several external contacts are available: Trig A, Trig B, Trig C …, and the Use a multiplexing device to extend the number of contacts when possible.(from 3 to 7; from 4 to 15; from 5 to 31 …) Contact reaction time, 5ms (0.005s)
Example of multiplexing system with 4 external contacts extended to 15.

Option of triggers

Select a scene from the list and assign it a contact from those available through the device.
Select a trigger option from the drop-down menu next to it.
18

Time triggers
Select a scene from the list and assign it a trigger period.Organize and repeat triggers over the year in specific ways. Single trigger
Check “Enable trigger” and “disable trigger” to determine a period. Select a date (timetable icon) and time (hour/minutes fields) of trigger activation and then disable trigger. Without shutdown, the scene will play indefinitely until another event replaces it with another scene triggering or manual shutdown. Permanent trigger
For example above: the scene plays from Monday to Thursdafyrom 11am to noon from 1st to 20 of each month, from September to April.
Check “Repeat every year” to set the monthly and then daily triggers. Select or deselect the months of active triggers in the left wheel. (selection in orange) After selecting the green square for the start day or the red square for the end day, determine the period of the month during which the trigger will be active. Select or deselect the days of the week or the trigger will be active in the right wheel. (selection in orange) Select a start time and an end time of trigger.
19

Note: For a daily repetition, if the start time is after the end time, the trigger will stop the next day, even if the next day has not been selected. Light intensity trigger This option is available for devices with an Infrared kit. Cf. “Use the remote control”
Check “brightness” to activate or disable the trigger according to the ambient light. Once checked this option cancels and replaces the time trigger.
Click on the icon to determine if the trigger activates or disables during the upward phase (day to night) or downward phase (night to day).
Click the arrow to set a value that corresponds to the light sensitivity and at which the trigger activates or disables.
Using the arrows, adjust the value that fits into the dedicated field. Priority of hourly trigger When multiple scenes have the same time trigger (date + hour + minute), only the last scene in the list will be triggered. The others will be ignored when triggering.
Advanced trigger options.
20

Restore after power off By checking this option in the “Triggers” tab, the selected scene takes priority on the boot scene (see “Options tab”) when the power supply is restored. If all scenes have the option checked, the last active scene is replayed. Play in priority By checking this option in the “Triggers” tab, the selected scene plays continuously until its end, without taking into account other triggers, except for time triggers and physical buttons on the device.
Save in memory option
Check scenes that need to be saved in memory.
Click on the “Write in Memory” button
21

Select the desired option in the Scenes Write window.
Basic backup
Write stand-alone configuration: Change only certain settings in the configuration of a show already written in memory. Reduces backup time. Write to Memory: Default backup in the internal memory of the device.
Save to an internal and external micro SD card
For devices with a micro SD port.
Save scenes to a micro SD card (Class 10) installed in the device’s SD card reader or in the computer drive.The card must be CLASS 10, formatted in FAT or FAT 32 with a maximum capacity of 256 GB.It is recommended to use the largest allocation unit size available when formatting. Write to the SD card of the device: SD card installed in the device drive Write to an external SD card: SD card connected to the computer Note: Save to the root directory of the SD card.
Backing up Art-Net or sACN to an external SD card

Art-Net – Write to an external SD card: Save up to 8 universesonly on micro SD to render an ArtNet or sACN show independently.
Set the universe range in the IN/OUT config tab. Cf:
Pre-commissioning verification: Connecting the RJ45 cable before power on. Connection to the local network.Cf: “Ether Ethernet connection and configuration” Configuring the device in Art-net or sACN mode via the software or DeviceTool.
Note: Once in Art-Net (Ar) or sACN (AC) mode, the device is no longer visible on the local network. In Art-Net the device will use Broadcast to play the show on the network. In sACN the device will use the Multicast to play the show on the network.
Stand-alone use
Switch to stand-alone mode
The device switches to standalone mode automatically after 5 seconds after power on and if no software connection is made.
External and USB power supply
The external power supply is only used for “Autonomous” mode.But it is possible to connect a USB cable and power supply at the same time, even if this configuration is not recommended.If a USB cable is connected to the device when running in standalone mode, the device will detect a possible connection to a computer but this will not affect the scenes that play.
Charging the clock battery
Before installing the device in stand-alone mode, connect the device for 1 hour to charge the clock battery and avoid losing the saved time configurations.
Play a show via a Micro SD Card
To play the SD show stand-alone, insert the card into the micro SD drive of the device. When powered, the screen displays “Sd” to indicate that the SD file of the project is being played. Note: The show file must be saved to the root directory of the micro SD. It will not be read if the file is renamed or saved in a folder or subdirectory.
