    For Software Version 3.0 and Greater

    Use these instructions to modify the rack type and/or dimmer modules that are used in the rack. These instructions should only be used if all of the dimmers in the rack are of the same type (e.g. D20s). If you have a mix of dimmers, (e.g. both D20s and D50s) you should contact your local service center to have the rack reprogrammed.

    Caution
    This erases all system configuration data. Do not run this test unless you have the Sensor configuration program and a copy of the system's configuration source file.

    Caution
    You can generate defaults only on racks that are populated with a single dimmer type. You cannot generate defaults if there is a mixture of dimmer types in a given rack.

    Note
    The default configuration will enable only port A with the first dmx address for the rack matching the unique dimmer number set in step 7. If your system uses port B (e.g. for a Unison architectural system), you will need to re-enable that after generating defaults.

    Instructions

    1. Enter diagnostic tests by holding down [Dimmer] and toggling [Reset]. Hold [Dimmer] for 10 seconds, then release.
    2. Use [↑] or [↓] or press [4] [1] to select test 41, then press [Enter]. (Do not use any other self test within this structure. Some of these operations can entirely delete the software within the unit rendering it unusable.) The message "Overwrite Configuration? NO" appears on the CEM LCD. Hold [↑] to scroll "NO" to "YES" and press [Enter] to begin the process. (For these two button presses, you may need to hold the button slightly longer than normal for the system to register the button hit.)
    3. The CEM will display several in-process messages while the test is set up. When the setup process is complete, the CEM will prompt for the number of racks in the system.
    4. Select the number with [↑] and [↓] or enter a number with the CEM keyboard. Press [→] to continue.
      Note that the number of racks in the system should be the number of racks that are ETCLinked together. If racks are not linked together (e.g. most portable rack configurations), each CEM can be its own single rack system.
    5. The next window sets the type of rack used in the default setup. Press [Enter] then scroll to the desired rack type with [↑] or [↓]. Press [Enter] to confirm, then press [Enter] to continue.
      Note that the rack type is determined by the number of D20 modules that would fit in the rack. This means a standard 96 channel rolling rack is an "SP48".
      Also note that many rack types are listed twice, once with just their name (e.g. "SR48"), and a second time with "bal" following the name (e.g. "SR48 bal"). A rack that numbers the dimmers in order "1,2,3,4,5,6 . . ." is a straight rack and uses the first listing ("SR48"). A rack that numbers the dimmers off by groups of six "1,2,7,8,13,14 . . ." balances the load across the phases and uses the second listing ("SR48 bal").
    6. Setup CEM Type lets you select a CEM model for the default setup. Scroll to the desired CEM type with [↑] or [↓]. Press [→] to continue.
    7. Setup Rack allows you to set up the starting Unique Dimmer Number directly from the CEM. Press [Enter], then scroll to the desired Unique Dimmer # with [↑] or [↓], or enter the desired Unique Dimmer # and press [Enter]. Press [→] to continue.
    8. Setup Module lets you select one dimmer module type for the default setup. Scroll to the desired module with [↑] or [↓]. Press [→] to review rack, CEM, and module test selections. Press [Exit] to confirm your default configuration and write it to memory.
    9. If your rack/module configuration is Advanced Features- (AF) capable, the CEM displays "Advanced Feature Rack? Yes". Press [Enter] to create an AF rack, or scroll "Yes" to "No" with [↑] for a standard configuration.
    10. Enter the desired ETCLink Address (rack number) for the CEM with [↑]/[↓] and press [Enter] to complete the default CEM configuration setup.
