CONTROL AND RECEIVER MODULE
The control and receiver module on the side of the PAL offers several useful features. You can set the fixture address, read out
lamp and fixture usage, enable special features etc. The main-menu is accessed by pressing the [menu] key and can be browsed
using the [up] and [down] keys. The menu hierarchy is shown in the following diagram, which includes the ‘SPEC’ sub menu.
Main functions
DMX 512 ADDRESS (dAdr)
Use the arrow keys to select the fixture address when using a DMX-512 controller and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to
cancel. Either way you will return to the main menu.
MARTIN RS-485 ADDRESS (Adr)
Use the arrow keys to select the fixture address when using a Martin RS-485 controller and press [enter] to confirm or [menu]
to cancel. Either way you will return to the main menu.
PROTOCOL SET-UP (PSEt)
After switching on the PAL, it automatically detects whether the controller is transmitting DMX 512 or Martin RS-485. If a
DMX controller is detected the PAL defaults to the DMX protocol (1, 2, 3 or 4) selected in the protocol setup (PSEt). The table
below shows the difference between the four available DMX protocols. If a Martin controller is detected the PAL automati-
cally switches to protocol 0, which is the Martin RS-485 protocol.
Use the arrow keys to select the desired protocol and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to cancel.
FIXTURE USAGE (Po H)
This option provides a read-out of the total number of hours the PAL has been powered on.
LAMP USAGE (LA H)
This option provides a read-out of the total number of hours the lamp has been used.
FIXTURE USAGE - RESETABLE (r Po)
As with the ‘Po H’ counter, this option provides a read-out of the number of hours that the PAL has been powered on. How-
ever, it is possible to reset this counter by keeping the [up] key pressed for approx. 5 seconds.
