Operation; Stand Alone Operation; Dmx-Controlled Operation; Addressing - Futurelight CENTERPIECE-1200 Mode D'emploi

OPERATION

After you connected the effect to the mains, the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 starts running. During
the Reset, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Move the objective-lens for adjusting the focus in order to obtain a sharp projection.

Stand Alone operation

In the Stand Alone mode, the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 can be used without controller. You can
do without a controller as the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 features a built-in microphone, which
provides automatic sound control.
Disconnect the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 from the controller and select "Master Mode: Sound-
control".
If you have connected a footswitch to the Blackout-socket, you can lock the light output (Blackout-mode) and
turn it on again.
Master/Slave-operation
Connect the master and slave-devices and adjust the settings as desribed above.

DMX-controlled operation

You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. In order to call up the different features, you first have to open the light
output (control channel 14 or 8, DMX-value 250-255).

Addressing

The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 will respond to the controller.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each FUTURELIGHT
CENTERPIECE-1200 correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, press the Mode-button until the display shows "d" and set the desired address via the
Up/Down-buttons.
Controlling:
After having addressed all CENTERPIECE-1200, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note:
After switching on, the FUTURELIGHT CENTERPIECE-1200 will automatically detect whether DMX 512
data is received or not. If the data is received, the control LED flashes. If there is no data received at the
DMX-input, the control LED lights up permanently.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the
CENTERPIECE-1200.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
Note:
It's necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
