General Indications
Read the instructions in this manual carefully, as they give important indications regarding safety during the units installation, use and maintenance.
Make certain to keep this manual with the unit for future consultation. If the unit is sold to or used by another operator, make sure that the manual is always with the unit to enable the new owner or user to read about its operation and relative instructions. Not for residential use. After having removed the packaging, check that the unit isnt damaged in any way: if you have any doubts, dont use the unit and contact an authorized SGM service centre. Packaging material (plastic bags, polystyrene, nails, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children, as it could be dangerous. This unit must only be operated by adults. Dont allow children to tamper or play with it. Any electrical work required for installing the unit must be carried out by qualified electricians or other people with sufficient experience. Avoid using the unit: in places subject to excessive damp (ideal conditions are between 35% and 80%) in places subject to vibration or the risk of bumps in places in which the temperature is above 45 or below 2C Do not dismantle or modify the unit Make certain that no inflammable liquids, water, metal objects or other foreign bodies enter the unit. Should any liquid enter the unit, turn off the power supply immediately. Should there be any serious operating problem with the unit, switch it off and take it to the nearest authorized SGM service centre for a check-up or contact the manufacturer directly. Never open the unit: there are no user-replaceable parts inside. Never try to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced people can cause further damage or serious malfunction: contact the nearest authorized SGM service centre.

Always insist that any spares fitted are original.

1. Pilot 1600s structure 1.1 Main features

The Pilot 1600 is a controller for scanners or intelligent lighting fixtures which use a maximum of 20 control channels and DMX 512 protocol. The units main feature is its flexibility: data regarding the fixtures which it controls is in fact stored in a built-in library, to which new fixtures can be added up to a maximum of 64. For each of these, logic channels different from the physical ones can be allocated, thus simplifying connection with the fixtures controlled. Pilot 1600 controls 16 programs, each of which is made up of a maximum of 16 scenes and 16 records made up of program sequences of up to a maximum of 100 steps (each step contains a program and Speed and Rate settings). Speed is the speed with which the scanners mirrors moves (Pan and Tilt), whereas Rate is the rate at which the unit passes from scene to scene in a program: both can be changed at any time while the program is running. Its also possible to control some fixtures manually - even while a program is running - and add fixtures to or remove them from the group under manual control. Pilot 1600 also allows operators to store programs in protected areas and to transfer stored data to other units.

1.2 Display and keyboard

All Pilot 1600 control parameters are shown on the alphanumerical display, which shows the following

message when the unit is switched on

PILOT-1600 VERS. 1.03

. Parameters which can be modified by the

operator can be changed using the cursor keys or the Data Entry slider. The various operating modes available are selected using the Keyboard mode keyboard. According to the operating mode, keys 1-16 are used to select the unit to control, the program or record to be run or the fixture to be controlled manually.

2. Starting to use the Pilot 1600 2.1 Soft Patch

The Pilot 1600 is a universal controller, so for correct operation the first fundamental operation to be carried by the operator is to define what fixtures are connected to the Pilot. This is done using the Soft Patch function.

Access this function by pressing then on the EDIT keypad, and with the key or the DATA ENTRY slider scroll the commands until the following appears on the display:

. Press for access to allocation. A LED will light up above the key, showing that you are working with fixture No.1. Use the and keys in the top row or Data Entry to select the required fixture: e.g.

MAIN MENU SOFT PATCH

GALIL_1 01 ADDR=____

. The start address for this fixture must now be set. Press

. The value on

the line of the start address changes to 001: . You can now key in another value (which must however correspond to that set on the fixture), or accept the value proposed (001, as this is fixture No.1). Press When the to set the value chosen for this fixture.

GALIL_1 01 ADDR=001

key in the bottom row of the DATA SELECT group is pressed, the display indicates

the conversion of the start address to a dip-switch position:

GALIL_1 01

. This is extremely

useful when working with fixtures which use this system of setting. Use the arrow to return to numerical mode. Pilot 1600 units are factory-programmed with the start addresses of the fixtures stored every 25. When a new unit is selected (e.g. No.2) and a fixture allocated (e.g. a Galileo IV), the start address of this second unit is calculated automatically. If fixture No.1 is a Galileo 1200 (six DMX channels), fixture No.2s start address will be 7. Although this is correct, we suggest that start addresses should be set manually 20/25 numbers apart, because if fixtures No. 1 and No.2 have to be inverted, the Galileo IVs 16 control channels would overlap with those of the Galileo 1200, making the latter uncontrollable and compelling the operator to reset the Soft Patch of all the fixtures connected to the Pilot. A start address reset function has been added to further facilitate operators work. To enable it, access SETUP mode (see chapter 7.10 - pag. 19 - Advanced Functions).

Speed is the speed with which the scanner mirrors moves (Pan and Tilt), and Rate is the rate at which the unit passes from scene to scene in a program: both can be changed at any time while the program is running. With Speed and Rate at maximum, scenes are changed in sync with the music.

Effect is taken to mean all the functions available on a controllable fixture. For example a scanner such as a Galileo has Iris, Color, Gobos, Pan and Tilt. Other types of scanners might have more gobo wheels or color wheels, but some of the above controls are standard, so when a name has to be given to a function, its not necessary to define the term (e.g. Pan) every time, and 37 positions available for custom settings are able to ensure a considerable number of updates.
