UNPACKING
The carton should contain the following:-
1 x Q12
1 x Instruction manual
Either - (Rack Model)
Rack mount the Q12 into a 19 inch rack.
Or - (Desk Model)
Stand the Q12 on a suitable flat surface.
POWER CONNECTION AND SWITCHING ON
The Q12 requires a supply voltage of +18 Volts DC at 300mA. This can be provided either by a special
Q12 power supply unit available from LightProcessor or by phantom power from certain types of dim-
mer packs, such as LightProcessor's Q Pack. See
CONNECTIONS section later in this manual for details.
In case switches have been disturbed in transit, ensure that the switches in the top right corner of the desk
are set as follows:-
Desk On/ D.B.O. is set to Desk On.
Blind is not selected.
Program/Run/Modify is set to Run.
The Q12 has no mains switch. When power is applied to the desk, the red Desk On LED lights.
LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
These are described later in the section CONNECTIONS.
MASTER SLIDERS
The GRAND MASTER slider controls the overall output of the Q12.
The CHASE MASTER slider controls the overall level of a chase.
The A and B MASTER sliders control the overall levels from the top and bottom banks of sliders.
For ease of operation it is usual to invert the operation of the B MASTER slider, so that it may be moved
together with the A MASTER and not in the opposite direction. See OPTIONS section for details.
