Function Outputs 12 3 5 Examples for Typical Settings Example 1 smoke generator on AUX 1 and F5 Let us assume you want to connect a smoke generator to output AUX1 and activate it with function button F5 The output AUX1 must be unlocked and allocated to button F5 Firstly we activate the output and set it to dimmer function 100 continuous output no flashing etc and the brightness should be 100 CV 115 is responsible for output AUX1 Calculate he value to be entered in CV 115 as follows 15 for maximum brightness Now you must link the function button F5 with the output AUX1 have a look at Fig 13 control CV 171 in the third column is responsible for F5 Forward Which functions should be switched with F5 must be entered in CV 171 If you follow the line for F5 in the table in Fig 13 to the right until it meets the column for AUX1 then you find a number in the header line above n our example the number is 4 Enter this value into CV 171 Then the F5 button will switch the output AUX1 Thus the unction is programmed for forward travel Now enter the same values in CV 174 in order to activate the same for travelling in reverse Example 2 Blinker beacon on AUX2 and F6 You want to wire a blinker beacon to AUX2 and allocate it to the F6 button The brightness should be 6 15 of the maximum brightness The blinker period and the On Off ratio must be set as described above Firstly we must unlock the output AUX2 and
