INTRODUCTION WELCOME Welcome to the AL Fade 6 Pro panel from Acclaim Lighting. This simple wall-mount DMX controller is designed for controlling up to six lighting fixture channels. It features miniature channel faders, a master fader and multiple scene preset buttons.
INSTALLATION AL Fade 6 Pro panels are available in two formats: US and EU, to suit the differing single gang electrical box standards in those regions. See “Dimensions” on page 12. A compact 12VDC power adapter is supplied with each panel and this requires a fused mains (100 to 240VAC, 6W) supply.
CONNECTIONS The panel has three connector blocks at its rear, with the following functions: OPTIONAL POWER IN D– D– DMX IN (12-24VDC) DMX OUT POWER IN Each panel requires a DC power input of between 12 and 24VDC. The panel consumes just 1.5W itself. The power adapter supplied with each panel provides 12VDC with a maximum power output of 6W.
POWER ADAPTER The supplied compact power adapter can accept mains inputs from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz and provides 12VDC at a maximum of 6W. Mains input (100 to 240VAC 50/60Hz) Output to panel (12VDC, 500mA, 6W maximum) The power adapter is a Class II, double insulated device and does not require a ground wire. www.acclaimlighting.com...
ADDRESSING The panel uses a set of micro switches on the rear of the unit to determine its DMX output addressing. By default the panel uses DMX channels 1 to 6 to communicate with the connected lighting fixtures, however, you can change this as necessary.
CONFIGURATION You can use the miniature faders to create scenes (containing color mixes or color chases), then store them into any of the six scene preset buttons to provide quick access during operation. SWITCHING BETWEEN ON AND STANDBY Once power is applied, press and release any button to switch the panel on. To switch the panel off: Press and release the Off/Pro button.
APPLYING FADE TIMES TO SCENES The panel allows a wide range of fade times to be applied to scenes. TO APPLY A FADE TIME TO A SCENE 1 Ensure that the panel is on, but not in programming mode: Just one scene button should be lit and not be flashing.
• Use the six channel buttons to mix colors fader on-the-fly: Press a channel button (CH1 to AL Fade 6 Pro Remote Controller CH6) and then press the Up/Down buttons to adjust the chosen channel. Note: The temporary changes you make to the channels will remain only until the next change of scene preset.
