4. The Menus
The LCD display is integrated into the front panel of the Digital Dimmer.
The three buttons below the display and the Encoder (Data Wheel) make all necessary adjustments
possible e.g. DMX address, limitation, control curves, preheat, etc.
Principle of working: The middle button below the Display leads to the following 3 menus. All data are
fed into the dimmer by the encoder and both softkeys.
More details in the following chapters.
4.1 The Top Menu
After "Power On" the "Top Menu" is shown in the display.
This menu is the standard menu during normal use. Here the status and error messages and the input
monitors of the channels are displayed.
Within this menu it is also possible to set the channels to definable values (test function).
Menu button switch to the 2nd menu
(channel menu)

Encoder selects one
of 12 channels
(without pressing any
button)
Pressing this button and turning
the encoder at the same time will
set a channel (e.g. Ch. 1) slowly
to a value.

Loadcheck:

Voltage measurement of the 3 phases
L1(Ch. 1-4), L2 (Ch. 5-8), L3 (Ch. 9-
12)
Short press sets selected channel (1)
to predefined value (e.g. 80%).
Pressing again will switch it off.
When the button is held and at the
same time the encoder is turned, the
predefined value (e.g. 80%) can be
varied.
Additionally in the left softkey
appears "CLEAR ALL". By pressing
both buttons all channels are set to
"0".
Attention!
The settings of the channels will not
be stored permanently and will be
cancelled when the dimmer is
restarted (power down). Please use
(e.g. for "booth lightning" on a fair)
the internal Memories because these
are stored permanently and will be
recalled after power off.
