Profile Request: LeMaitre Gforce 3 w/Freeze Fog (Call for help...)

I've got a LeMaitre GForce 3 connected to their FreezeFog Pro chiller unit, and I'm in need of a fully functional profile for it.

I'm hoping this hazer is common enough that someone out there has already built a profile that works for this unit, because I've tried building one myself with what I can decipher from LeMaitre's manuals and I'm striking out. 

The GForce3:

The Freezefog: 

And then there's this doc: 

which talks about different modes on the GForce, but doesn't actually give instructions on how to change them....

...help? We have them playing nice together when controlled manually, but i can't get them to behave with the profile configurations I've tried. Specifically, I need to be able to set a 2 second predelay.

  • Hi there,

    As you're probably seeing, there isn't much to work with from the given documentation. But, here are a few recommendations:

    According to the very brief spec about DMX, the three channels on the GForce3 are: Output, Smoke On Delay, and Aux. The manual doesn't give any solid indications (that I can see) as to what each channel does. Perhaps the DMX value is the time in seconds for a pre-delay? It looks like Output and Aux are a 0-99% level, but the delay isn't clear about what a DMX value would mean in seconds.

    - You can try to set the DMX level for a parameter by pressing // (which will display DMX)

    - Outside of a fixture profile, use Park to set addresses at particular levels to observe what they do. This may be a quicker way to establish each channel's function and ranges.

    Have you tried contacting LeMaitre? Do they have any more detailed DMX specifications/charts?

    Thanks!

    Hans

    Thanks for looking into it. I mocked up a profile with that configuartion (based on the basic fogger profile). It seems to be working, but now we're having problems with the fogger/freezefog communication. You win some, you lose some...
