Product Description

Lightronics SR517D Desktop Architectural Controller

This is identical to the SR516D, but adds in the following features:

The SR517D/SR517W are identical with two additional features.

1. Scene deactivation when DMX is initiated. This allows for activation of a scene from an SR517 at an entryway. Then when the DMX controller is turned on, the DMX controller will immediately take control and deactivate any active scenes on the SR517. However, once DMX is disconnected or turned off, the scene does not reactivate automatically. The scene may need to be manually triggered.

2. DMX Parking, which will allow for setting a specific value above 1% for any DMX address. This can be used to set channels of DMX relay panels to be on that provide power to stage lighting fixtures as soon as the SR517 is turned on.
