LAMP USAGE - RESETABLE (r LA)
As with the ‘La H’ counter, this option provides a read-out of the number of hours the lamp has been powered on. However, it
is possible to reset this counter by keeping the [up] key pressed for approx. 5 seconds. Use this facility to reset the counter
whenever replacing the lamp to keep track of lamp life.
Special functions (SPEC)
Selecting this function presents you with a sub-menu of special functions. As in the main-menu, you can browse through the
options and select the one displayed by pressing [enter].
AUTOMATIC BLACKOUT OF DISPLAY (dISP)
Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘on’ and ‘off’. Select ‘on’ by pressing [enter], if you wish the display to blackout 2 min-
utes after the last press of any of the keys, in order to avoid audience distraction. Otherwise, select ‘off’. The blackout function
will not affect the appearance of error and information messages.
PROTOCOL AUTO-DETECT (Auto)
This option can be used to disable the protocol auto-detect function when switching on the fixture. Use the arrow keys to tog-
gle between on and off. Select ‘on’, by pressing [enter], if you wish the protocol auto-detect function to be enabled after
switching on the fixture, and ‘off’ if you wish to disable this function.
If protocol auto-detect is disabled (Auto = OFF) the PAL defaults to the protocol selected in the protocol set-up (0 = Martin, 1
= DMX1, 2 = DMX2, 3 = DMX3 or 4 = DMX4).
PAN INVERT (PAn)
This function allows you to invert the pan movement (DMX protocol only). Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘Inu’ for
inverted pan, and ‘nInu’ for non inverted and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to cancel. Either way you will return to the
SPEC-menu.
TILT INVERT (tiLt)
This function allows you to invert the tilt movement (DMX Protocol only). Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘Inu’ for
inverted tilt, and ‘nInu’ for non inverted and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to cancel. Either way you will return to the
SPEC-menu.
NOTE:
If using the Martin 3032 Controller, pan and tilt invert can be enabled from the link configuration menu.
PAN AND TILT SWAP (PAtI)
This function allows you to swap the pan and tilt channels in DMX. Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘SUAP’ for
swapped protocols and ‘n SU’ for non swapped and press [enter] to confirm or [menu] to cancel. Either way you will return to
the SPEC-menu.
DOWNLOAD (dnLd)
For factory programming only - do not use.
RESET OF RECEIVER MODULE (rES)
Pressing [enter] on this option resets the receiver CPU and activates the protocol auto-detect function.
LAMP OFF VIA DMX (LoFF)
This option allows you to enable/disable the ‘Lamp Off’ function via DMX. Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘on’ and
‘off’ and select ‘on’ by pressing [enter] if you wish to enable this feature and ‘off’ if you wish to disable the feature.
SPECIAL DMX PROTOCOL (dPr2)
This option applies for the PAL 1200 and PAL 1200 E only - not the PAL 1200 FX - and should be enabled only when operated
by MA Lighting’s “Scancommander”. The ‘dPr2’ option reconfigures the DMX channel configuration, thus enabling the Scan-
commander to control the PAL 1200 as if it were two individual fixtures (consult appendix A for the DMX channel configura-
tion). The protocol may be suitable for other lighting controllers with limitations in terms of the number of DMX channels
available per fixture.
Use the arrow keys to toggle between ‘on’ and ‘off’ and select ‘on’ by pressing [enter] to enable ‘dPr2’.
