It is this one just has a slider for time on the end right

Best thing might be to contact a Sound Lab dealer, and take it from there, as a quick Google around doesn't seem to bring any sucess with finding a user manual.

54-CHANNEL DMX CONTROLLER

Ref. no. : 154.050

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

General description

This compact DMX controller can control 54 channels in total which are spread over 9 groups

(projectors) with a maximum of 6 channels per group. The outgoing DMX addresses are pre-set to:

Projector 1 : addresses 1 to 6; Projector 2: addresses 7 to 12, etc. You only need to set the

appropriate start address on the connected equipment , i.e. 1, 7, 13, 25 etc. There are 6 functions

max. per start address available. This SkyTec DMX controller has a built-in memory for 9 different

programs of 50 steps each (scenes) allowing automatic control of different light effects. In each of

these scenes (steps) you can determine a combination of settings for the position of the mirror, the

light colour or the light intensity. When you run these steps in sequence, the connected disco light

effects produce the requested light pattern.

Connection

Connect the controller to the disco light effects (projectors or dimmer packs) via XLR leads. Set the

correct DMX start addresses on the connected units. Example: You have two DMX projectors and 3

DMX dimmer packs. Set the DMX addresses on these units to 1, 7, 13, 19 and 25.

Plug the mains adapter into the socket on the rear side and into a mains outlet. Switch the controller

on via the power switch at the rear side. A short confirmation signal is heard and the controller runs a

short test program after which the displays shows 0000.

Set up

The SkyTec DMX controller offers the possibility to couple the signals of the outgoing channels i.e. a

projector which is connected to group 3 (address 13) can run in a program that is controlled by group 1

(projector 1 on address no. 1). Keep the SELECT button pushed in until the message SET is

displayed. Once this message has disappeared after 4 seconds, you can select via the UP/DOWN

buttons the number of the light effect that you wish to couple. The selection is activated by pressing

the INSERT button. The SCENE display shows ON. Press the DELETE button to switch this function

off. OFF is now displayed. Shortly press the SELECT button to leave the set up mode.

Manual Operation

You can operate the connected light effects manually via the slider controls 1 to 6. Shortly press the

PROGRAM button until the display shows 0000. Push now the ‘PROJECTOR’ button. The displayed

figure becomes a ‘1’ with a dot next to it. This dot means that you can change the setting. Select the

required unit via the buttons ‘UP’ and ‘DOWN’. Set the light effect via the slider controls. Depending on

the connected light effect units, these controls allow you to set 256 steps on all used channels. It can

be the position of a mirror, a colour or the light intensity of a running light. To switch the manual

operation off, push the PROJECTOR button until 0 is displayed again.

Programming scenes into the memory

It is possible to store 9 different programs of 50 steps (scenes) each into the memory. Shortly press

the PROJECTOR or PROGRAM button when the display does not show the four 0. Hold the

PROGRAM button down (± 2 to 3 seconds) until the figure in the PROGRAM display starts flashing

with a dot next to it which means that you can make a selection. Select the required program number

(1 to 9) via the UP/DOWN buttons. The green programming LED continues to flash indicating that the

unit is in programming mode. Then push the PROJECTOR button and choose the required light effect

via the UP/DOWN buttons. When doing this, the light effect must be connected and set to the correct

start address. Check if the projector or dimmer reacts to the controller. Set the desired effect, position

of the mirror or projected colour via the slider controls, and confirm the setting by pressing the INSERT

button. The number in the SCENE display is automatically increased by 1 and you can now program

the following scene in the same way and confirm the new setting by pressing the INSERT button. You

can set up to 50 scenes in a program. Press the PROGRAM button to exit the programming mode.

Erasing programmed data

Erasing scenes

Keep the PROGRAM button pressed until the ‘program’ display is flashing. Choose the scene display

with the SELECT button (two dots appear). Select the scene that you wish to erase via the UP/DOWN

buttons and press the DELETE button twice. Exit the programming mode by pressing the PROGRAM

button.

Erasing a program

You can erase in one go all programmed steps (scenes) of a complete program. Keep the PROGRAM

button pressed until the ‘program’ display is flashing. Select the number that you wish to erase via the

UP/DOWN buttons. Press the DELETE button, then the PROGRAM button (AL is displayed) and

again the DELETE button. A double zero (00) is displayed in the scene display. Exit the programming

mode by pressing the PROGRAM button.

Running a program

Press the PROGRAM button and select the required program number via the UP/DOWN buttons. The

set scenes are now played automatically in sequence. Set the slider control (1) to zero and set the

speed with the slider control (2). The slider control (1) has only a function when several light effect

projectors are connected and some of these units are coupled in the SET UP.

Manual operation during an automatic program run

It is possible to switch a unit to manual mode during the running of a program. Press the PROJECTOR

button and select the unit via the UP/DOWN buttons. When you move one of the slide controls, the

selected unit leaves the automatic run and you can control the settings via the slider controls. Push the

PROJECTOR button twice to switch the manual mode off.
