Record vs. Snapshot a Preset
Record and Snapshot are two different operations.
Record will only use level information from Set Levels from the CEM+ modules in the group
when storing a preset.
Snapshot will use level information from all available sources to the CEM+ modules
(DMXA, DMXB, EDMX, and Set Levels) when storing a preset.
Activate/Deactivate a Preset
Panic
You can toggle any preset on or off from either the web interface or the face panel. Stations
are also supported for preset activation, deactivation and recording. Please see
Appendix B: SmartLink Stations Enabled on page 55 for more information on SmartLink
stations.
Max Active Presets
Maximum Active Presets defines how many presets can be active in any one given room
at a time. It can be set from a minimum of one (1) and to a maximum of four (4) at a time.
Activating one preset more than allowable by Max Active Presets will deactivate the active
preset with the lowest priority or if all active presets are at the same priority, the oldest
previously activated priority.
Max Active Presets defaults to one (1) which results in a “last action” activation/
deactivation manner. (Turning on one preset turns off the previous preset.)
Panic is configurable for different external switch action types (maintained vs. momentary)
and switch resting states (normally-open vs. normally-closed). Panic always operates at the
highest priority in the CEM+ and no other control source can pile-on with it or override it.
Record Panic
Create the desired panic look by setting dimmer levels from the CEM+ or from a external
control source. Keep in mind that the Master Level acts as an intensity threshold for
dimmers and determines whether or not they are included in the panic. Only dimmers with
an intensity level equal to or greater than the Master Level will be included in Panic. When
Panic is active, the dimmers will also playback at the set Master Level.
Set the Panic Master Level to your desired level (80% to 100%).
Enable Force Others Off if you want load shedding to occur when Panic becomes active.
What this means is when Panic becomes active, any dimmers that are not included in Panic
will be turned off.
Lastly, record Panic.
Activate Panic
Panic can be activated via an external switch closure or locally via the face panel menu. It
cannot be activated/deactivated via the web interface. Deactivation is also done by a switch
closure (or lack of one, depending on the switch action type) or locally via the face panel
menu.
