QUICK GUIDE:
When you select a light represented as a number on the touch screen when it is RED that means it is ACTIVE
and can be changed via INTENSITY or COLOR which are also selected on the touchscreen (RED when ACTIVE),
then you roll the wheel just below INTENSITY or COLOR to increase to a MAX 255
or decrease to a minimum of 0 (0 = zero light, 255 = as bright as possible)
UNSELECT ALL: use this touchscreen button before changing lights so you do not accidentally change other settings
EDITOR: this touchscreen (TS) button brings you back to the main touchscreen where the numbered light buttons are
MAIN DIMMER: this physical lever is the dimmer switch on the right side of the panel which will light/dim ALL LIGHTS (except #37).
INTENSITY: select this TS button to increase/decrease the selected light. Light is ACTIVE when RED
COLOR: use this TS button only for #37 wall LED and DANCE Lights #38-41

MASTER DIMMER is the lever on the right side of the control board, directly under the red button and above the track ball. This acts as a dimmer for ALL the lighting, except the COLORBLAST LEDs #37
HOW TO SELECT and ADJUST THE LIGHTS:
TOUCH SCREEN + Wheels Directly Below the Touch Screen:
# 1 TOUCH SCREEN
This is where you will touch/select the light(s) you wish to activate (red light = currently active)
and deactivate (green light means light was active during this session but is NOT currently active.
That light may be lit but you can NOT change it unless it is RED).
#1 touch the light(s) you wish to activate. You can scroll up / down as there are lights 1 thru 45.
#2 Light(s) showing RED are active and can be changed.
#3 Once your lights(s) are selected (red showing) then select the “Intensity” button (active = intensity is red)
# 2 WHEELS
#1 Once light(s) are selected (see above) and the “intensity” button is active (red light is on)
#2 Roll the wheel UP = ON or DOWN = OFF. The Max UP = 255 and the Minimum = 0 = OFF
#3 Get in the habit of selecting “Unselect All”, found at the top of the touch screen, after you change a light,
because if you don’t then when you select your next light to change the previous one will still be on
and you will also change that light too. Change a light. “Unselect all” Change another light. “Unselect all”.
