10.3 - FUNCTION OF THE PUSH-BUTTON
The normally-open push-button optionally connected to M3-M5 terminal blocks can be used to:
-
Switch-on and switch-off the system by means of a "short" push.
-
Dim the system by means of a "long" push. Until the push is pressed, the system will dim.
-
When the maximum or minimum level is reached, the dimming is stopped; it is necessary to release the push-button and press it
again in order to invert the dimming slope and start dimming again.
-
Every time the push-button is released and pressed again the dimming slope is inverted (i.e. if intensity was increasing before
push-release, will decrease after next pressing).
-
Should it be necessary to activate several NODO-MASTER with the same push-button, connect several NODO-MASTER under
master-slave layout (see Fig. 3b and chapter 8). Connect the normally open push-button to «Master» NODO-MASTER.
Examples of use:
-
Set "wall-switch" on S5 dip-switch.
-
Choose desired intensity by means of long push.
-
Switch off the main by means of a wall-switch or of a timer.
-
When the wall-switch or timer will be re-activated, the stored scenery will be restored again.
11 – TESTING THE SYSTEM, ERROR MESSAGES
Once the power supply is switched on, the following situations can happen:
a) Each section run well, respecting the synchronisations previewed by master-slave layout (if present), showing the colours in the
correct order.
b) RGB fixtures (or some of them) remain steadily ON at maximum intensity (so showing white), MONOCHOME fixtures (or some of
them) perform a cycle from minimum to maximum intensity, then remain steadily at maximum intensity: this situation means
that "S" connection between NODO-MASTER and the section is not well done (interruption, false contacts...).
c) "Status Led" on NODO-MASTER is continuously on GREEN, but the section is OFF: this situation means that the connection "+" e
"-" between NODO-MASTER and the section is not well done (interruption, false contact, inverted polarity, burnt fuse...).
d) "Status Led" on NODO-MASTER is OFF, and the section is OFF: this situation means that the connection "+" e "-" between the
power supply and NODO-MASTER is not well done (interruption, false contact, inverted polarity). Verify if on M5 a 48VDC is
present with correct polarity, if yes NODO-MASTER is fault and the fuse too.
e) "Status Led" on NODO-MASTER is ON, but not continuously GREEN, check the following situations:
- Led is continuously on RED: NODO-MASTER is fault or short circuit on M6 (or M7) output.
- Led is 1 sec. RED, 1 sec. GREEN: overload on M6 (or M7) (low voltage).
- Led is 2 sec. RED, 2 sec. GREEN: overvoltage on M5.
- Led is 5 sec. RED, 5 sec. GREEN: high temperature on NODO-MASTER.
