The rows in this grid represent the circuits on the lighting controller The Channel 1 row is circuit 1 Unit 01 2 is circuit 2 If you look at the output pigtails on the controller you will see small number bands on each socket these correspond to the grid rows now The columns in the grid represent time increasing to the right Click the on tool It is in the effects tool bar which is just above the row labeled Time Scale Refer back to Figure 2 The on tool is the square green button If you click it and then click in the grid it will turn on the lights for those circuits at the times you click In the following example have clicked to turn each light on in sequence for a 10 of a second during the first 1 6 seconds of the sequence Page 2 LOR160xW Light O Rama Sequence Editor v1 9 3 new sequence 2 Elo Edit Wiw Took Play Windew Hop Dl ls 9 ale Blaam elki r n n z aleja manu ne im Tina Tata Tome 100000 Saeed Times HOT SD DOT oba Durata O00 100 In the top tool bar make sure Control Lights in the Play menu is checked Refer back to Figure 2 Clicking the green play arrow button in the second tool bar will run your sequence The red box to the right of the arrow is the stop button If you have lights plugged into the controller this simple sequence will light them in circuit order You have created you first sequence There are Quick S2. The LOR1600W has one power input cord and a total capacity of 15 amps The maximum current on a single channel is 8 amps The maximum current for all channels is 15 amps So you have to divide up your lights on the 16 channels so you don t exceed these two limits You could put 1 amp on 14 channels and 0 5 amps on 2 channels and that would be 15 amps Or you could put 0 5 amps on 14 channels 8 amps on another channel and 0 amps on the last channel and that would be 15 amps LOR1602W The LOR1602W has two power input cords and a total capacity 30 amps The left input cord powers Page 14 LOR160xW channels 1 8 The right power input cord powers channels 9 16 and the controller s microcomputer If you plug both power cords into one circuit then the controller would have at most 20 amps available but more likely the circuit is a 15 amp circuit so that s all you ll have available If you can plug the two power cords into separate circuits then the full 30 amp capacity of the controller will be available We will talk about only the right channels for now The same discussion applies to the left channels The maximum current on a single channel is 8 amps The maximum current for all right channels is 15 amps So you have to divide up your lights on the 8 channels so you don t exceed these two limits You could put 1 amp on 7 channels and 8 amps on the last one and that would be 15 amps Or you could put 2 amps on
