1. satellite The I pix Satellite unit is based on proven LED lighting techniques but it incorporates substantial improvements due to the use of modern digital technology involving microprocessor base controls and PWM pulse width modulation switching This gives the unit ultra smooth dimmer response an easy to read LCD user interface easy address and set up functionality plus the added benefit that users can utilise the onboard software to create their own internal chase sequences when used n stand alone mode Good functional design ensures that the Satellite 1s a very versatile unit with features that make it easy to use and set up For ease of operation compatibility and versatility the Satellite can be set into either 3 5 or 6 channel modes when it is to be controlled by an external DMX source depending on the complexity functionality and circumstances of the particular lighting situation Even though the Satellite is extremely easy to set up and use as a product it is aimed at lighting professional Thus for the purposes of this manual it 1s assumed that users of the Satellite have a basic understanding of lighting technologies like DMX etc CAUTION e Avoid water entering the unit it will increase the risk of electric shock and also may damage the unit e Do not operate this unit in explosive atmospheres such as in the presence of flammable liquids gasses or dust e When setting the unit avoid using too much force when pres2. and moves onto the next screen PROGRAM A MEMORY BLUE CHANEL INTENSITY UP DOWN increments the blue LED s light intensity BLUE displays the current blue LED s light intensity and once the associated button is pressed it remembers the value and moves onto the next screen PROGRAM A MEMORY STORE UP DOWN increments the store memory up or down MEM displays the selected memory where to store your settings to If you need to edit the setting before storing them press the MEM button and it takes you back to the start of the programming sequence so you can enter new values before storing them STORE stores the color program you just set up to the unit memory displayed and on the button release returns unit back to main dmx screen Chase Sequencers See general unit settings 2 2 on how to get to the initial chase sequence screen then follow the instructions PROGRAM amp USE A CHASE SEQUENCE TRANSITION DWEL TIME UP DOWN increments the transition dwell time in seconds between 2s to 255s WAIT TIME set the value required and press this button and the unit remembers the value and moves onto the next screen PROGRAM amp USE A CHASE SEQUENCE CROSS FADE TIME UP DOWN increments the cross fade time in seconds between 2s to 255s XFADE TIME set the value required and press this button and the unit remembers the value and mov
