Background - We have an Element 60 board that was installed in our church by a "professional" company. I received very little training and I am basically self taught. I am the only person that can even attempt to program a service. I have never touched a light control board until this one.
Setup - Element 60 - Initially 41 Channels w/ 8 movers, 8 dimmers, 26 LEDs - Recently added 10 Channels to control house lights - needing to add 6 more movers
How do I add a new fixture to an existing setup? I have tried to follow the manual and apparently I am missing something. It there any videos or further documentation showing this being done. I am needing to add 6 channels for 6 movers (chauvel intimidator 100).
During my initial "training" I was told to go to cue 1000 to basically clean everything out. It would move all my movers to the home position and turn all lights to 0%. With the addition of the 10 channels to control house lights, it no longer does this. I have tried to restore cue 1000 from a backup and it doesn't fix the issue. Should I use cue 0?
With our house light being integrated, our board now stays on all the time. The installer programmed one of the SUB sliders to control them. The problem is that if after a service, someone doesn't go to cue 0 now, when you move the slider for this SUB, the mover move. Is the a more efferent way to do this?
I have a group of fixtures that do not respond to the intensity palate on the magic sheet. How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance. Yes we have this much lighting equipment (plus a hazer) in a church designed for around 500 people. No I did not have any input or have the knowledge on deciding on this board and setup. I spend at least 4 hours a week programming this board for 2 - 1 hour services. I do not get paid and did I mention that I am pretty much self taught newbie.
