Switching on the projector – Fig. 8

• Press the switch. The projector starts resetting the effects. At the same time, the following information scrolls on the display:

• On conclusion of resetting in case of absence of the dmx signal, Pan and Tilt move to the “Home” position (Pan 128 bit – Tilt 128 bit). The control panel (Fig. 8) has a display and buttons for the complete programming and management of the projector menu. The display can be in one of two conditions: rest status and setting status. When it is in the rest status, the display shows the projector’s DMX address.
• During menu setting status, after a wait time (about 30 seconds) without any key having been pressed, the display automatically returns to rest status. It should be noted than when this condition occurs, any possible value that has been modified but not yet confirmed with the key will be cancelled.

Reversal of the display – Fig. 9
To activate this function, press UP and DOWN keys simultaneously while the display is in the rest mode. This status will be memorised and maintained even for the next time it will be switched on. To return to the initial state, repeat the operation all over again.
