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.

Chapter 2 Operation
Page 8 N1000-006
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.
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.
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.
WARNING! 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
Setting Channel Levels using Faders
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.
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:
1. Raise the Master Fader to 100% (full) Make sure the console is turned On.
2. Press the [FUNC] key. The LCD displays:
3. Press the [ENTER] key:
4. Press the [S]or [T] keys to select CH 7:
5. Raise Fader [1] to 80%:
6. Lower the Master to 50%. Channel levels are proportionally lowered
to 40% (50% of 80 = 40)

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.
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.
