Alarm Input
The Chilli Dimmer has an alarm input, which when activated, causes it to enter an alarm state.
If the dimmer is connected to ChilliNet, it will also send out alarm messages to ensure that all other devices on the network also enter the alarm state.
DIMMER LOCKED
* ALARM ACTIVE *
- If the dimmer is in ChilliNet mode it sends out an Alarm On message.
- The Alarm On message is repeated every 5 seconds while the Alarm Input remains active.
Alarm Input Inactive
When the dimmer’s Alarm Input changes from active to inactive, the following will occur:
- The dimmer exits the Alarm State.
- All output channels fade to their normal levels over a period of 1s.
- All menu access via the control panel is enabled.
- The screen shows the main screen.
- If the dimmer is in Network Mode it sends out an Alarm Off message.
DIMMER LOCKED
* ALARM ACTIVE *
Alarm Off Message
When a networked dimmer receives an Alarm Off message and its Alarm Input is not active, the following will occur:
- The dimmer exits the Alarm State.
- All output channels fade to their normal levels over a period of 1s.
- All menu access via the control panel is enabled.
- The screen shows the main screen.
Alarm State
When the dimmer is in the Alarm State, the output levels are subject to topset, but not temperature shutdown. Manual control levels, memories, sequences, preheat and DMX inputs do not have any contribution to the final output levels.
On power up, the alarm state of the dimmer is determined by the alarm input only, ie it does not remember any alarm messages previously received.
