Byte 2: 00 – Channel level
Byte 3: 80 - Channel
Byte 4: ff – Channel Offset
Byte 5: 00 – Fade Rate
Byte 6: FF
Byte 7: 1C Checksum
(fixed value)
(fixed value)
Area - (0 to 255), as set on the Arcpower to give a unique address for each Arcpower unit (i.e. DMX base
address)
Channel Level - (0 to 255), level - 01=100%, FF=0%
Channel - (80 to 83), 80= channel 1, 81= channel 2, 82= channel 3, 83= channel 4, (see Channel Offset
if more than 4 channels)
Channel Offset - (0-255), default (FF)- channel offset in blocks of 4: (FF = CH 1-4, 00 = CH 5-8,
01 = CH 9-12, etc up to 3E = CH 253-256 )
Fade Rate - (0-255), fade rate with 1 second resolution (0= 0 seconds, 255= 255 seconds)
Checksum - (0-255), checksum Byte - used to ensure the integrity of the packet.
Negative two's compliment of the preceding 7 bytes.
Example 1:
0x1C,0x10,0x00,0x80,0xff,0x05,0xff,0x52
This would control channel 1 (i.e. Red) of Arcpower unit, address 16 to a Level of 100% with a fade of 5
seconds.
Example 2:
0x1C,0x05,0xCC,0x82,0xff,0x0A,0xff,0x52
This would control channel 3 (i.e. Blue) of Arcpower unit, address 5 to a level of 20% with a fade of 10
seconds.

possibilities of using the fixture.The sequences are the same for all zones.
8.5 Stand-alone mode
Select this menu to set fixture behaviour in stand-alone mode without an external controller.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is
set as a master („MSt”) and the rest as the slaves („SLA”). Only one fixture can be set as the master. The slaves
mimic the behavior of the master. Effect actions are triggered by an internal timer of the master fixture.
Important! Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data col­
lisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly!

second. In this moment, the ArcPower SmartWhite 144 finds out the load connected to its LED output and
makes auto-calibration.
Prt --- Protocol selection - Selects a required communication protocol.
dMH - the fixture will communicate using DMX 512 signal.
dYn - the fixture will communicate using the DyNet protocol.
C.Li. --- Current limiting.The menu item allows to reduce a current-carrying capacity of each LED branch (colour) in order to keep a declared lifetime of LED modules.The situation can occur if you operate LED modules
at an higher ambient temperature than is recommended (40°C).
The current-carrying capacity can be changed in a range of 350 - 175 mA (255-128) linearly.A default value is
255 (350 mA).
To adjust the current limiting:
1. Browse through the menu by pressing the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons until the display shows "C.Li." menu.
Press [ENTER] button and "VAr" item will appear on the display.
2.Press [ENTER] button again and use [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select desired value. Confirm this value
by pressing [ENTER].Use the [UP] and [Down] buttons to select next colour.
3.Repeat step 2 for next items "CoL", ....... "VA4", Co4".
UPd. - Software update - Using this function you can update software in the fixture via PC and serial link.
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Linux
- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS232/DMX (No.13050624)
Note1: Software update should execute a qualified person. If you lack qualification, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ANOLIS distributor.
16
Note 2: DMX address, programs and all settings will be set to their default values.
To update software in the fixture:
- Installation of DMX Software Uploader:
1. DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ANOLIS web site at www.anolis.cz.
2. Make a new directory (e.g. Anolis_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3. Unpack the program from the archive. Program file has name: DSU_name of corresponding fixture_SoftwareID.
SoftwareID describes the versions of fixture software included in DMX Software Uploader. Higher number
means later software versions.
- Fixture software updating:
1. Determine which of your COM port is available on your PC and connect it with to the DMX input of the fixture
using the Flash cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures in DMX chain!
Turn on the computer and the fixture.
2. Switch the fixture to the update mode by selecting the option Software update in menu Special Functions on
the fixture control panel: SPE-->UPd-->yES. (From this option you cannot return back to the main menu. If you
do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture to leave this option!)
3. It is recommended that you exit all programs before running the Software Uploader.
4. Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button. If the conection
is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to perform software update.
All processors will be updated (including processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, enable the Incremental Update check box. Avoid
interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window. When the update is finished,
the line with the text „The fixture is successfuly updated” will appear in this window and the fixture will reset
with the new software.
Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture remains in the update mode
and you have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The fixture was switched off before finishing software upload. After switching the fixture on again,
the fixture is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat
software update from your PC.
