5. Product Care
The 100 Plus Series Console requires very little care and does not have any user-serviceable parts. Avoid spilling
liquid on the equipment If this should happen, switch the equipment off immediately at the mains. To reduce the risk
of fire or electric shock, do not expose the equipment to rain or moisture.
In the event the console needs to be cleaned, remove all power from unit and use only a very mild soap on a damp
cloth. Never saturate the console with any cleaning solution. Dry immediately with a soft lint-free cloth after
cleaning.

Two Scene Operation 9
100 Plus Series Console
CONSOLE OPERATION
1. Two Scene Operation
When the console is powered up, check the Mode LED indicators to determine the operating mode it is in. Press the
Mode button as necessary to place the console in Two Scene Mode. The "Two Scene" LED will illuminate to confirm
that the console is in two scene mode as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6: Mode Button LED Indicator - Two Scene
Now, Preset A Master will be the scene master for the top bank of channel faders and Preset B Master will be the
scene master for the bottom bank of channel faders. These two banks of faders both correspond to dimmers 1 - 12.
Figure 7: Preset Master A / B
2. Manual Crossfades
Preset Master A is at full when the fader is in the UP position and at 0 when the fader is in the DOWN position. Preset
Master B is just the opposite of Preset Master A. (Refer to the vertical numbering beside the playbacks). This allows
for proportional crossfades by moving both faders simultaneously in the same direction.
Individual channel fader control works the same in two scene mode as it does in one scene mode.

desired levels. At this point, the dimmers should correspond to the level of
the Channel Faders. The fader output of the fader that is being adjusted will
be shown in the LED Display on a scale from 0 to 100.

100 Plus Series Console
5. Hold
In single scene mode only, using the HOLD button (as shown in Figure 10) allows the operator to freeze all dimmer
output and manually reset the levels for all 24 faders to create a different look.
Figure 10: Hold Button - Single Scene Mode
To use Hold Button Operation
Step 1. Select current settings with channel faders. Make sure Preset Master A is at "10" and Preset Master B is at
"0" (zero).
Note: The hold feature can only be activated and deactivated with playbacks in these positions.
Step 2. Press the HOLD button. The HOLD LED indicator should be illuminated. The current settings will now be
recorded into the HOLD's memory.
Step 3. You can now set the channels to the levels required for the next cue. The channel levels will not output as
live.
Step 4. You can now move Preset Master A to "0" (zero) while moving Master Preset B level to 10. During the
crossfade, the HOLD LED will be flashing. The new cue will output and the previous cue will fade out.
Step 5. Once both Preset Master A and Preset Master B have reached the bottom of the current Channel Fader
settings, they will now be recorded into HOLD's memory. Note, the HOLD LED will stop flashing but
remain on indicating the activation of the HOLD feature.
Step 6. The operator is now free to reset all Channel Faders to the levels for the next cue. Once the channel faders
are set, crossfade Preset Master A back to 10 and Preset Master B back to 0. During crossfade operation, the
hold LED will flash. After the crossfade is complete, the new cue will now be outputting live and locked
into HOLD's memory. Note, the HOLD LED should still be illuminated.
Step 7. You can now repeat the above steps to continue crossfading between cues.
Step 8. Press HOLD button again to release the HOLD function when Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders
are at the top. After pressing HOLD, the HOLD LED should turn off.
Note: For timed crossfades - use the same procedure as the manual crossfade but with the fade timer set to the
preferred fade time. The LED display will show the fade time that is set.
6. Effect - Single Scene Mode
An effect is a way to get fast changing output of dimmer levels in a specific order. The effect capability of this
console is limited but simple to do. The console can run one effect at a time.
Set the console to single scene mode. Set Preset Master A to 0 (Down) and Preset Master B to 0 (Up). Preset Master
B will become the effect master. (See the colored information beside the Playback B). Set current fader levels to
include only the faders that will be in the effect. Set them to any level from 1 to 100.

Press one of the Effect buttons - Forward, Reverse, Random, or Bounce.
Figure 11: Hold Button - Single Scene Mode
Table 3 provides details of each Effect Button’s operation.
The lights will now operate a chase in the selected Effect mode. The Effect Master will inhibit the levels of all effect
channels. The fade time rotary becomes the SPEED dial. Set the speed of the effect as desired. The LED Display will
show the set rate.
The effect can be faded in rather than the effect starting abruptly by pulling down the Effect Master and fading it up at
the appropriate time.
7. Effect - Two Scene Mode
To run the effect in two scene mode, just change the MODE Button to two scene. Once the LED indicator illuminates
"Two Scene", the console is set to two scene mode. Now all of the fader levels from the top fader bank will become
the faders in the effect. With both playbacks in the up position, just press any of the effect directional buttons and the
effect will start immediately.
Once the effect is running, adding new fader levels will add those faders into the effect.
Note: Only the faders in the top fader bank can be used in the effect. Press the effect button again to stop.
Button Name Operation / Meaning

number fader number to the lowest.
Random Random allows the faders that have a level to step through their appropriate levels in a randomly
generated order.

Operations Manual
14 CONSOLE OPERATION
Playback Mode
After recording cues into the console memory, you can play them back. There are two methods, one using the GO
button (Flash Mode Button) and the other using the Preset Master A and Preset Master B.
Go Button Playback
Use the [ + ] button to take you to the memory that you wish to begin with.
For instance memory 1.
The display shows that there is currently no memory outputting and that the
next memory is 01. To play this back press the Go button.
Memory 1 will output and the next available memory will be displayed, in
this case Memory 2.
If you wish to play back a different memory next you can use the [ + ] or [ - ]
buttons to select it.
When you reach the last recorded memory it will select the first recorded
memory as the next cue.
Only memories that have been recorded will be played back. If you have recorded 1, 2, 3, 10, 11 when you playback
the memory stack these will be the five memories that will playback in sequence.
Timed Playback
It is possible to use times when playing back the memories. Before you press the GO button use the Fade Time
rotatory dial to set the time. The time will be shown on the LED Display.
When you press the GO button the time selected will be used. The LED above the GO button will flash while the
transition is happening.
Preset Playback of Memories.
While in memory mode if you move the Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders, the memory that is next to be
output will be faded in and the current memory will be faded out. You can manually control the fade time by using
this method.
For example if the Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders are at the
top and the LED Display will show, "01:02".
Then moving the Preset Master A and Preset Master B faders to the bottom
will fade Memory 1 out and fade Memory 2 in.
Timed Playback
It is possible to use times when playing back the memories. Before you move the Preset Master A and Preset Master
B faders use the Fade Time rotatory dial to set the time. The time will be shown on the LED Display.
When you move the faders the transition will happen over the time set. The EFFECT LED will flash to show a timed
transition is happening.
It is possible to switch between the two playback modes at any time either by moving the Preset Master A and Preset
Master B faders or pressing the GO button.
