  • 194-255 Backwards gobo rotation from slow to fast
• Channel 16 – Lamp on/off, reset, internal programs :
  Watch what you are doing with Channel 16!
  Please read carefully what this channel can do.
  It is very common that an internal program is engaged.
  The result is it “looks” like the fixture has a mind of its own and cannot be controlled.
  The recommended default position for channel 16 is definitely 0.
  • 0-19 Color change normal. Snapping from one color to the next. This is the preferred setting.
  • 20-39 color change fine. Allows half colors (between colors) to be chosen.
  • 40-59 Lamp on. To strike the lamp (when the fixture has been “told” to get the lamp strike info from the controller) engage this channel at between 40-59 for about 7 seconds. The lamp will then strike. Once struck the value can be changed back to 0 as a rest/parking position.
    To “tell” the fixture to turn on the lamp from the light board, go to the menu screens (detailed in the fixture manual) and turn this function on. The fixture leaves the factory with this function turned off. This way when you turn the fixture power on, the lamp strikes immediately.
  • 60-79 Lamp switch off. Engage this range of values for 7 seconds and the lamp will turn off. You have been warned!!
  • 80-99 Motor reset. Engage this range of values for 7 seconds and the motors will reset in the fixture. The reset will complete in about 30 seconds. If you continue to leave this channel at between these values then the fixture will constantly reset. Not a pretty thing to do!
  • 100-119 Internal program 1
  • 120-139 Internal program 2
  • 140-159 Internal program 3
  • 160-179 Internal program 4
