ILS™ FIXTURE ADDRESSING (PATCHING)
With the ILS-CON you are able to remotely DMX-512 address ILS™ fixtures.
Action
1) Press the Blackout button for at least 3
complete seconds or until the LED blinks.
This will enable the Stand/Alone Mode for
the ILS™ fixtures.
2) Hold Scanner button down and bump
(momentarily press) the blackout button.
3) Wait for the lights and their LED displays to
come to a complete stop. (Very important!)
4) Push the joystick down until it clicks.
First fixture in the chain should light up,
otherwise read the notes in this section.
5) Move the joystick left or right to jump
Loops. The first ILS™ fixture connected to
each Loop will light immediately.
6) Up/Down joystick movement will traverse
forwards and backwards along the fixtures.
7) Press any one of the Buttons 1~24 to
patch the fixture accordingly.
8) Optional – Step # 4
Notes
The only LED that will blink will be the first fixture in
the Loop.
This will place focus on the first fixture in DMX
output # 1, also called Loop1. There are 2 DMX
outputs in the controller, Loop1 and Loop2. The first
light in Loop1 will light up if it does not, then you are
not connected to Loop1 but Loop2. Jump loops by
moving the joystick left and right.
Tip! If you get lost, you probably pushed the joystick
to the side and jumped Loops. Click the joystick to
jump to fixture 1 on Loop1 and repeat step mentioned
