9.3 - FUNCTION OF THE PUSH-BUTTON
The normally-open push-button optionally connected to M3-M5 terminal blocks can be used to:
-
Switch on and off the system by means of a "long" push.
-
Start and stop the rolling by means of a "short" push.
-
Please note it is NOT possible to manually dim the system by means of the push.
-
Should it be necessary to activate several NODO-MASTER with the same push-button, connect several NODO-MASTER under
master-slave layout (see Fig. 3b and chapter 8). Connect the normally open push-button to «Master» NODO-MASTER.
Examples of use:
-
Set "wall-switch" on S5 dip-switch.
-
Manually activate rolling by means of long-push.
-
Then switch off the main by means of a wall-switch or of a timer-switch.
-
When the wall-switch or timer will be re-activated, the rolling will start again.
-
Set "wall-switch" on S5 dip-switch.
-
Manually activate rolling by means of a long-push.
-
Wait for the system reaching desired scenery.
-
Stop the rolling by means of a brief push.
-
Switch off the main by means of a wall-switch or of a timer.
-
When the wall-switch or timer will be re-activated, the stored scenery will be restored again.
10 – SETTING NODO-MASTER TO "PUSHDIM" MODE
10.0 - INTRODUCTION
"PUSHDIM" mode can be used in simple installations to drive MONOCHROME modules without the needing to have an external DALI
or DMX environment.
In this functioning mode, by means of a push-button it is possible:
-
To switch on and off the system.
-
To manually dim the monochrome modules.
Under this mode, NODO-MASTER self-generates a command sequence, necessary to switch-on, switch-off and dim monochrome
fixtures.
PUSHDIM mode can be activated only on monochrome modules connected to channel 4 (direct monochrome) or 8 (indirect mono-
chrome).
10.1 - CONNECTIONS
Use cables as shown in paragraph 5. Refer to fig. 3a and 3b.
Connect cables from push-button to M3-M5 terminal blocks.
NB: use a normally open push-button to short circuit "+" on M3 and M5 terminal blocks.
Connect feeding cables from power supply to M5 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
Connect the cable toward the fixtures to M6 terminal block, respecting the polarity.
In case of "Master-Slave" layout, connect "–" and "S" on M7 of "Master" NODO-MASTER DMX to "–" and "S" on M2 of "Slave"
NODO-MASTER, respecting the polarity, fig. 3b.
10.2 - DIP-SWITCHES SETTINGS FOR PUSHDIM MODE
Please refer to fig. 10.
To set the PUSHDIM mode, locate S1 dip-switches, and set them on each stand alone NODO-MASTER or "Master" NODO-MASTER
(do NOT set S1 on "Slave" NODO-MASTER) as follow:
S1-1: OFF
S1-2: OFF
S1-3: OFF
S1-4: ON.
NB: under this mode, only synchronisations between "Master" NODO-MASTER and "Slave" NODO-MASTER are reproduced.
Set S4 dip-switch to activate PUSHDIM mode, see Table 7.
