Circuit Breakers
Power to the LED fixtures is controlled by 8 circuit breakers in circuit breaker panels in the mechanical room.
This room is accessed through the door at the rear of the (locked) closet located to the right of the front of the stage.
The circuit breakers in question have a red outline on them. One set about mid way down the panel and the other three at the very bottom.
Each panel has two circuit breakers on the left side that need to be thrown.
These are #79, 80, 83, 84, 89, 90, 95 and 96. The numbers are on the left side of the panels. See pictures at bottom of this page.
The staff turns these breakers on when they get out the light board and turns them off when the light board is returned.
If the backsides of the fixtures are unlit, the problem is likely that this was inadvertently overlooked.
Please ask they be turned on if this should occur.
SET UP
1) Plug the DMX cable into the wall (5 pin outlet) and into the DMX1 plug on back of the console.
2) Plug the console power source into an electrical outlet in the wall. Be sure the power plug is securely attached to the console. (Recommend use of power strip & extension cord)
3) Be sure all Sliders are DOWN. Press the POWER button to turn on. The console will boot up and the tutorial screen will appear.
4) Press START in the lower left corner of the display screen. This will open the Stage Map (grid) screen
LOADING THE BASIC SHOW
1) In the Display screen Press Setup, File, Open (Never Press NEW as this will erase the entire console), select Basic60521 from the drop-down screen, then Accept. This will take you to the Basic Show setup loaded into the console.
Channels – this button (left side of display screen) allows you to control the individual lights within the grid.
Playback – this button allows you access to some basic “scenes” programmed into the console.
SHUTTING DOWN
1) ZERO SLIDERS #1 thru 40!!!!!!
2) Press the Grid key at the bottom left of the display.
3) Press the Power Key – Hold key down until Display changes to Shut Down
4) Press Proceed – Allow console to cycle down
5) Once console shuts down, shut off power strip, disconnect all cords, put everything away.
Notes: BASIC contains base programming including presets for full house rack, full middle stage rack, full back stage rack, center spot, apron stage right, apron stage left, and right, left and center stage lights. Presets 21-29 are white.
Presets #38,39 and 40 are color settings for the full stage.
DO NOT CHANGE THESE SETTINGS!
----------------------------------
Do not press the Lower button on the house light control panel when using the stage lights as this sometimes turns off the stage lights. If this button is pressed accidentally pressed, often pressing the Rise button will restore the stage lights.
----------------------------------
When using the 'Effects' option
If you don't like an 'effect' you'll need to 'remove' it rather than just selecting another 'effect' as they are additive.
Increase the 'fan' option of an 'effect' to have each fixture a different color.
