INTRODUCTION The Director™ does the job of two (8-channel) effects lighting controllers in one slim package. This controller-relay system has two separate (4-channel) chase zones which the user can modify. Each zone can be switched from audio-activation to any of the two preset timed chases with speed adjustment rotary knobs. In addition, each 16 individual channel can be overridden and set to permanently on or always off without affecting the overall chase.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Setup Action Notes 1) Using the 9-pin cable (SF-EXCB) provided, connect from the Control Output of the controller to the INPUT on the relay pack. There are two outputs on the controller, (1~8) is for Relay A and (9~16) for Relay B. 2) Plug the relay pack to an AC outlet. 3) Optional: Continue daisy chain up 3 relay packs total for each controller 9-pin outputs. Important! It is recommended that each relay pack gets powered by independent circuits to avoid tripping breakers.
Operating Instructions Controller Overview M ANU AL O P ER AT IO N S There are 16 buttons on the Director™. Each button represents an AC duplex outlet on the relay pack. You can activate an individual channel by pressing the button once. The LED will turn on and the lighting fixture connected to that output will light. You can turn fixtures on using this method regardless of whether a chase is currently running. Turning a fixture on using this method will override the affected channel in the chase.
Warranty Information APPENDIX Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power.
