20 General operation
Automatic lamp on [ALO]
Automatic lamp on is set to [Off] by default. If this option is enabled by
setting to [On], the lamp strikes automatically within 90 seconds of applying
power to the fixture. If you intend to run a stand-alone program (SA ➔ Rvn
= On) that starts when the fixture is powered on, set Automatic lamp on to
[On] to strike the lamp when the program starts.
Display [d1S]
If set to [On], the display panel on the 150W Base remains on permanently.
If set to [
OFF], the display is switched off 2 minutes after the last key press
(but error and warning messages will still be displayed).
Store remote status [SrS]
This option is only relevant when you are using the optional infrared remote
control and receiver. If the store remote status option is:
• set to [
On] and you start or stop the programmed show using the IR
remote control, the fixture will automatically start or stop the show next
time it is powered on.
• set to [
OFF], the IR remote control has no influence over the automatic
starting of a programmed show at power-on. This is controlled by the
SA ➔ rvn menu (see “Starting show playback” on page 44).
Enable lamp off control from an MC-X [*,O]
With this option enabled, When using an MC-X control device to select and
run scenes, button 7 can be used to turn the lamp off.
Error and warning message toggle [Err]
The default setting is [On], which means that any error messages can be
seen at the top level of the control menu structure. When set to [
Off], error
and warning messages are suppressed. This enables, for example, the
continued programming of a fixture that has a non-critical error.
Head temperature fan regulation [tFH]
Switches the head fan in a 150W Single Base to temperature-regulated
control (not available on a 150W Double Base).
Lamp hour warning [LHr]
Using this menu, you can enable or disable lamp life warnings and set the
number of hours of expected lamp life. A resettable lamp hour counter
operates that can be read and reset in the [
1nf] menu. When this counter
reaches:
• 100 hours less than the predefined lamp hour warning level, the display
will start blinking [
Lvv]. At this point you should change the lamp to avoid
the risk of lamp explosion.
• the predefined lamp hour warning level, the lamp shuts off and cannot be
turned on again before the counter is reset or the predefined lamp hour
