SettingtheBrightnessControlValues
Besides the dial-based setting, the methods of setting the
brightness control value include the use of external signal input.
The external signal input is selectable from the three methods of
parallel input, RS232 communication and analog input.
- Brightness control by dial → Operations for Each Mode on p6
- Brightness control by external parallel input → Inputs and
Outputs on p16
- Brightness control by RS232 communication → RS232
Communication on p18
- Brightness control by analog input → Inputs and Outputs on p16
ListofPRMSettingItems
A long press on the mode button on the operation panel causes the transition to the “PRM setting mode.”
* About the bank switching
- Bank numbers are common to the external parallel input and RS232 communication. The bank numbers are deleted upon
powering OFF.
- The bank numbers by the PRM setting are set separately from those for the parallel input and RS232 communication.
The bank numbers are retained despite any powering OFF.
With the brightness control values set in the banks in
advance, the value may be switched with less amount of input.
The registration of the values may be done on up to 16 banks.
The bank switching measure is selectable from three
methods, including PRM setting, external parallel input and
RS232.

intensity
Switches the PWM frequency.If the cable to the lighting device is long, the capacity of the device
is large, and the brightness control value is also large, the communication between the power
supply and the lighting device may be broken. In that case, decrease the PWM frequency.
Switches the bank in accordance with this setting.
Displayed only when bin = SEt in the bank mode (DSW3 = ON).
Valid in the bank mode (DSW3 = ON) without external brightness control (DSW2 = OFF).
Capable of designate, for each bank, the brightness control value to
be used in bank switching.
With the currently selected bank, rotating the volume dial to change
the brightness control value changes this setting as well.
Valid in the bank mode (DSW3 = ON).
Selects the method of bank switching. Valid in the bank mode (DSW3 = ON).
Ein: By using the external parallel input (D0-D3) of the master unit, designates a
binary value in ON/OFF state to switch the bank.
Powering OFF causes the bank number to return to 0 (zero).
Valid in the external brightness control and bank mode (DSW2 = ON, DSW3 = ON).
232: Through the use of RS232 of the master unit, switches the bank by a
communication command (BNO).
Powering OFF causes the bank number to return to 0 (zero).
Valid in the external brightness control and bank mode (DSW2 = ON, DSW3 = ON).
SEt : Selects a bank number by the setting bno.
Valid in the bank mode (DSW3 = ON) without external brightness control (DSW2 = OFF).
This function is to adjust the voltage applied to the lighting device so the
brightness of the lighting device being monitored matches the brightness control value.
Voltage can be varied in a range of 11 - 18 V in the normal mode and 16 - 22 V
in the strobe mode.
If the targeted brightness cannot be achieved despite any adjustment of the
voltage, the feedback error output turns ON.
When the brightness control value is less than 50, the feedback function
automatically turns OFF.
cPb: Turns OFF the supplying of 6 V communication voltages to the lighting device.
The value is selected for models on which the supplying of 6 V causes the
lighting device to light up.

Terminates the display of settings and returns to the display of brightness control value.
While ordinary brightness monitoring displays the relative brightness of the
lighting device against the level at the factory shipment, this displays the relative
brightness in comparison with the reference value that depends on the lighting
device model. (Brightness reflecting individual differences)
Upon any change of the setting, the monitored brightness is shown in the upper
row and the brightness control value in the lower. By adjusting the brightness
control value, the brightness can be matched to the targeted level.

If the brightness of the lighting device being monitored has decreased to a level
below the designated percent value of the reference brightness, the feedback
error output turns ON.
Note that, if the cable for the lighting device is long, the brightness will be
reduced due to the component of direct current impedance.
