14 Ion Operations Manual
Littlites
®
You may connect a Littlite to the side of your Ion console.
Dimming Littlites
Attached desk lamps can be dimmed either with the desk lamp control knob on the side of the
console, or from the software.
Desk lamp controls are found in Setup>Desk>Brightness Settings. The {Desk Lamp} slider has
a range of 0% (dimmest) to 100% (brightest). The default setting is 0%. The console will set the
desk lamp to this setting on startup of the application. See “{Brightness Settings}” on page 108.
The desk lamps can also be controlled by holding down [Displays] and rolling the level wheel.
Cleaning Ion
Should the exterior or LCD of your Ion require cleaning, you may gently wipe them with a
dampened (not dripping
), non-abrasive paper towel or soft cloth.
If this does not clean the console sufficiently, you may apply some window cleaner (containing
ammonia is fine) to the cloth and repeat the process until clean.
Outputting DMX
In order to output levels from Ion, you can either use the DMX ports on the back of the console, or
to output over a network, you may connect a Net3 gateway or Net2 node. If your devices receive
Net3 or ETCNet2 directly, no gateway or node is required.
Ion has two DMX ports. To output, connect one 5 pin XLR cable per port. The first port will default
to outputting the first universe of DMX, addresses 1-512, and the second port to the second
universe, outputting addresses 513-1024. See Local DMX Outputs, page 351 for information on
reconfiguring the DMX ports.
Nodes and gateways will function with Ion out of the box without previous configuration. However if
custom configuration is required, you will need to use either NCE (Network Configuration Editor) or
GCE (Gateway Configuration Editor). GCE is installed on Ion by default and can be accessed in
ECU>Settings>Maintenance>Gateway Configuration Editor (GCE). NCE can be installed on
the console or a Windows
®
PC for configuration.
For more information on Net3 gateways or Net2 nodes, see the product literature that accompanied
the hardware or download it from our website at www.etcconnect.com.
