This function is used both to protect the system against the disappearance of DMX signal and to gain a specific state on outputs. After it has been activated, in case of a lack of DMX signal, the module will perform the selected function by itself. The reconnecting of DMX signal will automatically break the performed function, and the module will again be controlled by DMX signal. In order to start the function, enter noS option : 1. From the start menu go to the noS and press enter 2. Use the next or prev buttons to select the device behavior for DMX signal loss The following options are available: Pr1 – Pr2 – starting program 1 or 2 on – switching all outputs on 100% oFF – complete switch-off of outputs HLd – holding the last DMX value Sc1 – Sc4 – scene 1, 2, 3 or 4 Up to 10 steps can be created in the program (F01 – F10), in each step it is possible to define the values of output channels (CH1 – CH8) in the range from 0 to 255. Additionally, in each step you can define its duration (Spd) in the range of 0,1 – 99,9 seconds. In the step it is also possible to set the transition smoothness (FAd) in the range from 0 (step transition) to 100 9
