Performing diagnostic tests
Six diagnostic tests are provided on the Response Converter. The first two digits
entered on the number switches specify the type of test; the third digit determines the
rate at which it runs. To run a test, follow these steps:
1. Enter the two-digit test number on the left and center rotary number switches. See
below for test numbers and descriptions.
2. Enter a rate number on the right number switch.
For each test, the third digit determines the rate at which the test runs. When the
third digit is set at 0, the test pauses; when the third digit is set at 1, test runs at
its minimum rate; at 9 it runs at its maximum rate.
3. Press Reset to start test.
4. To stop test, enter a three-digit starting dimmer number from 001to 192 on the
number switches, and press Reset.
Chase
The Chase test flashes each of the 192 dimmers to full intensity in a chase sequence.
Set first two number switches to 91.
Fade All
The Fade All test simultaneously fades all dimmers to full intensity, and then back
down to zero intensity. Set first two number switches to 92.
Fade Chase
The Fade Chase test fades each of the 192 dimmers to full intensity, and then back to
zero intensity in a chase sequence. Set first two number switches to 93.
Selected Output to Full
The Selected Output to Full test sets a selected dimmer output to full intensity and
holds it there. Set first two number switches to 94, and press Reset. Then enter
dimmer number from 001 to 192.
All to Percent
The All to Percent test sets all dimmer outputs to an intensity percentage you
specify and holds them there. Set first two numbers to 95, and press Reset. Then enter
any three-digit percentage between 000 and 100 on the number switches.
All to DMX512 Level
The All to DMX512 Level test sets all dimmer outputs to an intensity level you set
and holds them there. DMX512 level changes the output scale from 0-100 (percent
output intensity) to 0-255 (DMX512 data format). Set the first two numbers to 96, and
press Reset. Then enter a DMX512 intensity level between 000 and 255 on the
number switches.

Entering starting analog dimmer address
The rotary number switches allow you to set the control signal number for the first
output dimmer. The remaining 191 analog outputs are consecutively numbered from
that number.
Set the rotary number switches to a starting number between 001 and 512 for
DMX512 to AMX192 operation. For AMX192 to DMX512 operation, enter a starting
number between 001 and 192. The Response Converter reads numbers over the output
quantity limit as a starting address of 1. You do not have to press Reset when
resetting the starting address, unless you are also ending a diagnostic test.
