Text Conventions
Fader and Key control names are shown in Bolded Letters and appear inside brackets
[ ].
For example:
Fader 1 appears as: Fader [1]
The Enter key appears as: [Enter]
Terminology Definitions
Channels: Channels are the most basic unit of control and are used for setting lights to
various intensity levels. A channel is represented by a single fader or bump button on a
control console.
Scene: A Scene is a recorded lighting look that is comprised of individual channel
levels. It is recalled by raising one of the submaster faders or pressing a submaster
bump button.
Chase: A Chase is a series of individual channel levels or pre-programmed scenes
which is played back in a continuous loop.
Master Fader: The master fader is used to proportionally control the output of all the
console channels.
Dimmer Protocol: There are different types of dimmer control signals, also known as
dimmer protocols. The current standard for dimmer protocols is known as DMX 512.
The amount of dimmers available for control depends on your model. For example, with
the N3008 model, you can control up to eight dimmers.

Console Setup
Power On
1. Plug the 12V DC adapter into a 110V AC mains outlet.
2. Plug the DC power connector into the DC power jack located on the rear of the
console.
3. Plug the DMX signal cable attached to you dimmers into the DMX OUT connector on
the rear of the console.
4. Move the Power Switch on the rear of the console to the On position.
NOTE: In order to eliminate possible erratic behavior while controlling DMX devices,
always use a DMX terminator, especially when long runs of control cable are used.
A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins
2 (DATA -) and 3 (DATA+) of a male XLR connector.
Internal Battery Operation
The console comes equipped with an internal battery that will allow for up to three hours
usage without being connected to the DC adapter. Make sure to leave the console
plugged in for at least five hours in order to fully charge the internal battery.
NOTE: When running on the internal battery, the LCD screen will enter a power
saving mode and dim if not used within eight seconds. Pressing any key or pushing a
fader will revert the LCD back to its lit state.
Auto Memory
All programming data will be saved automatically when the console is turned off. Please
note that the data will be lost if the unit is not powered up within seven days.
Console Reset
1. Press and Hold the [CL] and [ENTER] keys while turning Power Switch On.
The LCD displays:
2. Press [1] [ENTER] to reset console or Press [2] to abort.
NOTE! ALL RECORDED DATA WILL BE ERASED!
Master Fader and Bump Button
The Master Fader is used to proportionally control the output of all the console
channels. For example, if the level of channel 1 is at 80% and the master is set at 50%,
the actual output of channel 1 will be 40%. A Master Fader LED is located directly above
the fader to give the user intensity feedback.
A Master Bump Button is located directly below the Master Fader. When pressed, it will
bring all levels being output to zero.

Setting Channel Levels
Individual channel levels can be adjusted directly with the six channel faders. To give
the user channel intensity feedback, channel intensity LED’s are provided above the
faders.
NOTE: The six faders correspond sequentially to whatever range of channels that
are selected and shown in the LCD. For example, faders one through six will control
channels 1 thru 6 or 7 thru 12 or 13 thru 18, etc.
In the following example, we will use a fader to set channel seven to 80%:
Procedure: Notes: Make sure the console is turned On.
1. Raise the Master Fader to 100% (full)
2. Press the [FUNC] key. The LCD displays:
3. Press the [ENTER] key:
4. Press the [ ] or [ ] keys to select CH 7:.
5. Raise the fader [1] to 80%

Scenes
As mentioned earlier, a scene is a recorded lighting look that is comprised of individual
channel levels. With this console, up to 46 scenes may be recorded for future playback.
There are two methods of recording and recalling scenes. The first way is by recording
a scene to one of the six submasters. The scene can then be recalled by either raising
a sub fader or pressing a sub bump button. The second method is by recording a scene
to the 40 scene memory bank. The memory scene is then recalled by using the scene
[SC] key.
Recording Scenes to Submasters
In this example, we will set levels on channels one through six and record them into
submaster one.
Procedure: Notes:
1. Raise the Master Fader to 100% (full).
2. Press the [FUNC] key. The LCD displays:
3. Press the [ENTER] key:
4. Press [CH] [1] [-] [6] [AT] [100] [ENTER]
5. Press the [REC] key:
6. Press the [SUB1] key:
7. Press [ENTER] Sub is recorded. Pressing any other key besides [ENTER]
will cancel the recording.
NOTE:
Any previously recorded memory scene (see next section, Recording Scenes to Scene
Memory) can be re-recorded into a sub fader for quick access. First, recall the scene as
noted in the Recalling Memory Scenes section further below, then follow Step 5 above.

As mentioned earlier in this guide, a chase is a series (sequence of steps) of individual
channel levels or pre-recorded scenes that can be played back in a continuous loop.
With this console, you can run two different types of chases; a channel chase or a
submaster chase. Both can be run at 21 various speeds ranging from 0.1 seconds to 1
minute. Additionally, the chase sequence can either bump or fade between steps (see
Chase Fade section further below). A chase can also be run while a scene is active in
the background please see the Channel Chase + Scene further below).
Channel Chase
To initiate a channel chase, follow the steps below.
Procedure: Notes:
1. Press the [FUNC] key:
2. Press [ ] twice to select the
