Dimmer status
The Dimmer Status display provides information about dimmers, including
size and type, recorded load, firing mode, output curve, rack, slot, panic
mode, and boost. Press [Setup] [9] [Enter] [3] [Enter] to access the
Dimmer Status display.
Up to 16 dimmers are shown in the display at once. If a dimmer has an
error condition, the entire dimmer row is highlighted in yellow (ordinarily
the line is in gray). Dimmer errors are also identified in the About Dimmer
display. See About Dimmer with ETCLink, page 52.
Press [S5], Select Dimmer, [#] [Enter] to select a specific dimmer or use
[+] and [–] keys to move through the list of dimmers a page at a time.
Following is an explanation of column contents.
• Type identifies the ETC type designation.
• Recorded load displays the load at which the selected dimmer was
recorded.
• Firing mode identifies whether the dimmer is normal, doubled, or
switched. “--” indicates a normal firing mode.
• Curve identifies the output curve assigned to the dimmer.
• Rack identifies the dimmer’s rack number.
• Slot identifies the dimmer’s slot number in the rack.
• Panic mode identifies whether the dimmer is assigned to a panic
circuit. “--” indicates an unassigned dimmer.
• Scale/Boost indicates either the dimmer’s Scale or Boost value.
Either can be returned for each dimmer depending upon the rack’s
CEM software. Scale is expressed in voltage and indicated by a “V”
following the number. Boost is expressed in percentage and indicated
by a “%” following the number. A non-boosted level of 100 percent
is indicated by the symbol “--”.
