Frequently Asked Questions - Control Touch Exalux

How to turn on the system and access the HOME screen?

When the system is powered on, the HOME screen appears automatically. If the screen is off (standby mode), touch the screen to wake it up. The HOME screen allows you to select lighting memories.

What to do if the touch screen stops responding?

Use the DMX BYPASS function from the MENU to control DMX equipment with an external controller. If the problem persists, restart the Control Hub by holding the reset button for 0.5 seconds.

How to add a second Control HMI screen?

Connect the second screen to a free X-LINK port on the Control Hub. Both screens are symmetrical (no master/slave). After adding or removing a screen, restart the Control Hub by pressing the restart button located near the RJ45 connectors for 0.5 seconds.

How to reset the system to factory settings?

In the SYSTEM application, go to the EXPERT tab, then press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds. You can choose to reset lighting settings, recordings, programs, or perform a full reset.

How to connect CRMX (Wireless DMX) equipment?

In the SYSTEM application, enable CRMX in the CRMX tab. Press LINK DEVICES to start pairing. Select the appropriate transmission power (default 20 dBm/100 mW). CRMX equipment must be in pairing mode.

How to program automatic execution of memories?

Use the PROGRAM application from the MENU. You can create up to 9 schedule programs (date/time) and 2 trigger programs (based on trigger input states). Select the days, time, and action (memory to recall).

How to record a DMX sequence from an external controller?

Use the RECORDER application. Connect a DMX controller to the DMX input of the Control Hub. Select an empty (gray) memory and press RECORD. Recording stops automatically if the DMX source is disconnected or memory is full.

How to rename a memory?

In the MEMORY NAMES application, select the SCENES or SEQUENCES tab. Choose the memory to rename (white = programmed, gray = empty). Type the new name (18 characters max) and confirm. Names appear on two lines on the HOME screen.

What is the default PIN code to access the MENU?

The default PIN code is 0000. You can change it in the SYSTEM application, EXPERT tab, PIN CODE section. Activating the PIN code restricts MENU access for unauthorized users.

How to clean the Control HMI touch screen?

Disconnect the screen before cleaning. Use a dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth. Gently wipe to remove fingerprints. Never use liquid or abrasive cleaning products. Avoid high temperatures and humidity.

DMX BYPASS

Provides a secured way to control DMX fixtures, using an external DMX controller. The DMX received on the input port is forwarded to the DMX output and CRMX.

INFO

• This app can be used as backup, in order to still be able to control DMX fixtures, even if no memorie has been programmed, or if the touch screen is faulty.
• When a CONTROL HUB is installed without any HMI (touchscreen), it automatically enters «standalone mode», providing the same behaviour than in the DMX BYPASS app.

Transfer your settings from another controller to the CONTROL TOUCH with the DMX recorder, using the DMX input of the HUB interface.

INFO

• The recorder stores the data into an internal micro-SD card, allowing very long recording sequences. The memory usage is shown on the display.

DUAL DISPLAY

INFO

• The CONTROL TOUCH system can be used with either one or two CONTROL HMI5" displays.
  • Each display offers the same control capabilities detailed in this manual. There is no « master/slave » concept.
• When using the HOME app:

• The memory selection can made on any display.

• The displays are mirrored: any memory selection made on one display is automatically synchronized on the other.

• When opening any other app, the secondary display can no longer be used to select the memories. This state remains until the first displays goes back to HOME.
  • The memories are automatically saved on the CONTROL HUB's microSD card, in order to ensure proper synchronization of the two displays.
• When adding or removing a display from the system, the CONTROL HUB must be restarted to ensure proper operations. This is done by pressing the « restart » button for 0.5 second. This button is located close to the RJ45 connectors.

FIXTURE CONTROL

EN FR

Secondary display is running the following app: LIGHTING CONTROL No memories can be played. Please wait ...

This system is designed to control lighting sources, for indoor use only. To prevent damage, do not expose it to liquid or moisture and keep the device away from open flames and heat sources. Avoid clogging and strong vibrations. Use the devices only in its intended use as described in this manual. Any other use, as well as use in other conditions, will be considered non-compliant and can cause injury and damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting from improper use.

CONTROL HUB Controller

This device requires DC voltage, which can result in an electrical shock. Do not remove cover when powered. The parts inside the device are maintenance free.

Check the feature compliancy and correct operation of the power supply before connecting it to the device. Before connection, check if the voltage corresponds to the voltage of your local power network and if the socket is equipped with a GFCI. In case of non-compliance, the device may be damaged and the user may be injured. Do not modify the power cables nor the plugs in order to avoid short-circuits. In case of non-compliance, there is a risk of electric shock and fire hazard. If in doubt, contact a certified technician.

CONTROL HMI 5" Display

Always use the mounting holes on the display when mounting it to a wall, enclosure or panel. Do not apply undue tightness to the screws when fixing it to the chosen wall/enclosure, the display case is made of plastic and may be damaged if screws are fastened too tightly. Displays are susceptible to mechanical shock and any force exerted on the module may result in deformed zebra stripes, a cracked display cell and broken backlight.

Avoid having to display the same image/object on the screen for lengthy periods of time. This will cause a burn-

in which is a common problem with all types of display technologies. Therefore, it is strongly advised to use the screen saver function, which is able to dim down or turn off the display when no one is nearby, based on proximity sensor. This will also maximize display endurance.

Moisture and water can damage the display. Moisture on the surface of a powered display may cause the electrodes to corrode. Wipe off any moisture gently or let the display dry before usage. The performance of the display will degrade under high temperature and humidity. Avoid such conditions when using or storing.

Care

Unplug CONTROL HUB before cleaning it. Do not use cleaning product, use a dry cloth and rub gently. Dirt from fingerprint oil and fat can easily stain the surface of the display. Gently wipe off any stains with a soft lint-free cloth. Store the devices in a clean and dry place, away from exposure to direct sunlight and dust.

Maintenance

Unplug the devices from power during all maintenance operations. The devices should only be installed and opened by people in full possession of their physical, sensory and mental abilities who must have the required knowledge and experience. All the other persons are only allowed to operate the devices under the supervision or direction of a person responsible for their safety.

Warranty

EXALUX cannot be responsible for material or personal damage resulting from improper use of the product or non-compliance to the instructions. The warranty will not be applied in these cases.
