Introduction The 2501 controller is a simple but effective controller from Martin Professional. The 2501 controller can give access to all of the basic color change functions within all of the Martin Professional range of Intelligent products (not Roboscan Pro 1220), as well as having the additional facility to be able to access all of the stand - alone programs within the units that are connected to the controller. All of this is possible by just a few key presses on the controller.
Sections of the 2501 Controller The 2501 controller has separate control sections within the unit. There is one section that controls all of the color change functions, including the strobe facility, and there is another section that controls the access of the Stand - Alone and Pre - Programmed sequences.
Accessing Stand-Alone and Pre-Programmed sequences Understanding the Difference between Stand-Alone and Pre-Programmed Sequences It is important that you understand the way that these Two features work, and more importantly, you understand the differences between them.
Pre-Programmed Sequences Unlike the Stand-Alone function, all sequences within the Pre-Programmed section of the controller will run on Auto-Trig automatically. If you wish to access the Pre-Programmed sequences within the unit you should press the button marked Program, and while keeping it pressed down, you should then press the button for the product group that you wish to run. The product group that you have selected will then begin to run the first Pre-Programmed sequence from the controller.
Current Controller version and Software Requirements for Units For some of the functions within the 2501 controller you will need to make sure that the units that you connect into the link have the correct Eprom software inside of them. Please read the list below to find out which Eprom Software Version you will need. Color selections will work on all units regardless of software version. Strobe selections will work on all units with built-in strobe effect regardless of software version.
Unit Dip Switch Settings Each product type connected to the 2501 controller has its own relevant dip switch setting, this dip switch setting is the same for all products of the same type no matter how many units are connected to the link. For example, if you have a link with 10 Robocolor controllers and 10 RoboZaps connected, all of the Robocolor Controllers should have a dip switch setting of 1 (100000), and all of the RoboZaps should have a dip switch setting of 4 (001000).
