4.6 STANDALONE mode
A sequence, up to 20 steps, consisting of preprogrammed cues can be recalled by means
of the STANDALONE MODE. The sequence will run as a loop. Cues can be entered in two
different ways. The first way is to program every feature by means of the key of the units
onboard control panel. The second way is to program the cues by means of a connected
DMX control console and to store them in the fixture.
IMPORTANT!
The functions MODIFY, RUN and REMOTE can be accessed only by pressing a combi-
nation of keys and not just by pressing "ENTER". Before activating the functions make
sure that there is just one DMX-transmitter in the DMX-line (e.g. one controle console or
one master fixture). A number of DMX-transmitters can damage the DMX driver of the
fixtures. To enter the functions press “ENTER” (keep it down) and press "ESC" in addition.
Programming the standalone sequence:
Enter the menu STANDALONE, EDIT.
STEP NR 01/01 will be displayed.
Enter the MODIFY menu to get access to the fixtures functions. Recall the functions and
enter DMX values.
Enter FADE TIME (during which the effects will move to the programmed position) Enter
NEXT TIME which will be the duration of the step.
Add a new step with INSERT. The DMX values of the last step will be automatically copied
to the new step.
With DELETE one step of the sequence can be deleted. Chose the step and confirm the
function with ENTER.
To reset the DMX values of a step use RESET STEP. Select the step and confirm with
“ENTER”. All DMX values of the step will be set on zero.
With CLEAR ALL the complete sequence will be deleted and the display will show
STEP 01/01.
COOLING MODE
The Sparx7 offers three different modes for fan opperation. The default setting STANDARD
will suit most applications. Switch to SILENT to reduce the speed of the fans to a minimum.
This mode is to be used only a well ventilated rooms with low ambient temperature, with
reduced light output or if the fixture is only required occasionally. The HI POWER mode is
designed to be used in areas with higher air temperature or for fixed installtions. The fans
start to run faster with more airflow which produces more noise.
There is in no mode danger for the lifetime of the Sparx7. If the temperature rise to
much the fixture switches off automatically.
WLJB DMX HOLD
The behavior of the Sparx7 in case the W-DMX connection is interrupted can be set to:
1. DMX Hold - Sparx7 freezes on the last received DMX value.
2. Fade out - Sparx7 fades out after 5 seconds.
When DMX signal is back the Sparx7 first turn to its new position and fades in.
CAMERA MODE
For flicker free recording in TV-studios the Sparx7 offers three different modes from 50
Hertz (PAL, Secam) to 60 Hertz (NTSC). Flex mode is designed, if cameras have a re-
fresh frequency that makes the 50 or 60Hz settings ineffective. Factory default is 60Hz.
Access the menu PERSONALITY, CAMERA MODE and choose the required frequency.
To confirm press “ENTER”. This can be also controlled with the control channel (channel 5)
via lighting desk.
