Button Held
A held button, after two seconds, causes the intensity of the preset to dim in a five second count.
The primary use is to adjust the intensity of a preset when setting up a look to be recorded into
another preset.
Long Hold
Holding a button for fifteen seconds causes that preset to be recorded with the initial saved look,
provided it is unlocked. Recording is confirmed by all blue LEDs illuminating for ½ second. If
recording is denied (preset is locked) the display will say uh-uh (left column LEDs illuminate
followed by right column LEDs).
Preset12 processes one button at a time. Pressing multiple buttons simultaneously will not hurt
anything, but only the lowest number will be processed.
Indicators
An illuminated blue LED in a button indicates the associated preset is on. If a particular channel
is recorded in more than one 'on' preset, the preset with the channel at the highest level prevails.
An illuminated yellow LED (below button 6) indicates a timed fade is in progress. Useful
knowledge if a long fade time has been programmed, leading to a non-immediate change in
levels upon a button press.
An illuminated red LED (located below button 12) indicates the Preset12 is offline; an external
DMX512 source is controlling the system.
The red 'offline' LED will blink when Preset12 is holding the external source's last look, until a
Preset12 button is pressed.
The blue LEDs indicate certain operations:
Blue LEDs chasing: Preset12 is in set up mode.
All blue LEDs flash for ½ second: confirms preset has been recorded.
Left column of blue LEDs flash followed by right column (uh-uh): preset is locked.
Recording Presets
To record a preset, set the look then press and hold the button for the preset to be recorded
(note that the look may change upon pressing the button however the look has been captured).
Hold the button until all blue indicators flash (about fifteen seconds), then release the button. If,
instead of all flashing, the indicators in 1 through 6 flash followed by the indicators in 7 through
12 (we call this display uh-uh), that preset is locked and may not be recorded. Recording from
an external DMX512 source may only be done from a main or stand-alone staion (not from a
remote station).
Stop Sending DMX512 Feature
Many DMX512 receivers will enter their stand-by mode when the DMX512 signal goes away.
Preset12 supports this by stopping DMX512 transmission after sending 2 seconds of "all-levels-
at-zero" if the last button pressed was button 12 (think of button 12 as the Off button). This
feature is disabled by recording a non-zero level in preset number 12.
