DMX Address Menu
The DMX start address is the most important parameter
to be defined when setting up your lights. By default the
fitting will be set to 001.
The addressing will depend on the current selected
personality. For example if the light is set to RGBAW mode
(5 channels), the DMX address range will be 001 – 508.
Personality Menu
The ALEPH2 ET Mk2 has six different personalities or
operational modes, which can either be selected
remotely from any standard RDM controller tool or
locally using the control panel. The light behaves
differently in each mode, since the DMX channel
distribution changes according to the desired working
personality. Set the desired personality before patching
your lights in any lighting desk or control system.
1 – 8BIT RGBAW MODE (5 Channel)
This basic mode will turn the ET into a 5-channel light,
allowing to drive each available colour as an
independent dimmer. Each DMX channel uses 8-Bit
resolution where 000 is OFF, 255 is Full intensity, as
described in the following chart.
2 – 8BIT RGBW MODE (4 Channel)
As some lighting control systems do not support RGBAW
lights, we have implemented a RGBW mode so the fitting
can be used with any controller. Each DMX channel uses
8-Bit resolution where 000 is OFF, 255 is Full intensity, as
described in the following chart.
3 – 8BIT (6CHANNEL) MODE
This basic mode will allow you to drive each colour using
8-Bit resolution, setting the values from one of the 6 DMX
channels where 000 is OFF, 255 is Full intensity, as
described in the following chart.
Example 1: to turn all the channels to full intensity, set all
the channels to 255 value:
Example 2: to turn only the red group colour to full
intensity, set the first channel to 255 value:
The smart dimming in this personality follows an “s” curve
resulting in a smooth LED output all along the 8 bits range.
4 - 16BIT (12 CHANNEL) MODE
This mode will allow you to drive each colour using 16 bits
resolution; setting the values from one of the 12 DMX
channels from 000 to 255 where the first channel of each
group will be (HIGH) and the following channel the (LOW)
one, as described in the following chart.
This personality gives the user full control on the output
dimming, so any colour combination can be generated.
5 - EXTENDED (9 CHANNEL) MODE
This extended mode offers a wide variety of output effects,
turning the ALEPH2 ET Mk2 into a very versatile unit, using 9
DMX channels, as described in the following chart.
COLOUR GROUP INTENSITY (CH1-CH5) operate as described
in the RGBAW personality plus they can be modified or
affected by the strobe function or master dimmer channel,
as described further in this section. Although these 6
channels have no effect when the true CCT mode is
activated (9th channel > 010)
STROBE DURATION (CH6) this channel works in conjunction
with the strobe frequency from CH7. It will only take any
effect if the channel 7th > 10.
It defines the duration of the ON state and linearly increases
the time from 2.5 milliseconds when 000 to 650
milliseconds when 255.
NOTE: Strobe duration time must be lower than Strobe
frequency for flashing. If duration time is equal or greater
than frequency, the light will be continuously ON.
STROBE FREQUENCY (CH7) will turn the ALEPH2 ET Mk2 bar
into a versatile multi-colour strobe with user adjustable
frequency. The strobe feature can be activated by setting
the channel to a value between 011 and 255. In the same
range, the strobe frequency can be adjusted by varying the
User Manual

channel value, with 011 the lowest frequency (about 0.3
flashes per second) and 255 the highest one (25 flashes
per second).
The strobe channel can be used in conjunction with all
the other channels, so you can change the current output
colour or the master intensity whilst strobing at the
selected frequency, all at the same time.
MASTER DIMMER (CH8) drives the general intensity,
multiplying with all other current output channels, with
000 the lowest intensity 0% (light will be OFF, regardless
of other channel values) and 255 the highest, allowing
100% whatever other channels are demanding.
TRUE CCT MODE (CH9) will turn the ALEPH2 ET Mk2 bar
into a true colour temperature adjustable fitting,
simulating a tungsten light behaviour.
The white colour feature can be activated by setting the
channel to a value greater than 010. CH9=011 will produce
the warmest white and 255 the coolest one. Values
between 000-010 will stop the true CCT feature.
The true CCT mode channel can be used in conjunction
with strobe and master dimmer features, so you can
strobe and/or dim the current white output set by this
channel.
The ALEPH2 ET Mk2 has been laboratory calibrated to
closely follow the black body Locus curve. With 8 bits
resolution allowing the light to travel from TRUE warm to
cool whites (12000K to 1800K) keeping a high CRI for natural
colours.
6 – 8BIT 1CHANNEL MODE
This mode turns the Aleph 2 ET Mk2 into a single colour,
single channel dimmer.
The output colour is not any specific kind of white and this
mode is not tuned up to produce balanced output. It is only
meant to produce as much light as possible using only one
control channel.
This mode is often used to control custom built A2 lights
where only white LEDs are populated instead of coloured
LEDs.
Presets Menu
The Aleph2 ET Mk2 has 64 available slots where the user can
record custom colours from DMX. These can later be
activated from the menu. Presets turn the ET into a stand-
alone fitting, where 64 different colours can easily be
triggered on-site, without the need of DMX.
It is also possible to record user personalised presets on
any of the 64 memory slots, overwriting the default ones.
RECORDING CUSTOM PRESETS:
User Manual
Document PN: 50847

Covered by US patent 08950901 5
To record your own colours, please scroll to the desired
slot (from 01 to 64), feed the desired data through the
DMX port until you are happy with the look. Then press
the SET key to overwrite the preset.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
When the light is powered on, it will automatically take
preset 01 as the default power on value, if the Lamp On
Mode setting is ON. This feature is handy for the user to
set up the desired colour combination for the fitting to
start every time it is powered up.
Note that the strobe feature is not a supported preset.
Any incoming DMX data will override the presets, so
ensure that there is no DMX data coming in before
navigating this menu intending to playback the different
colours.
Running the Factory Defaults RDM command will restore
all the presets to the original values and user recorded
presets will not be recoverable.
Lamp On Mode Menu
This setting instructs the ET about what to do after a power
up sequence.
If DMX or OFF settings are chosen, the ET will stay off and
will wait for DMX instructions.
When Lamp On Mode = ON the ET will power up and then
output whatever drop has been recorded in slot 01 of the
presets. Please notice that any incoming DMX will override
this preset, as DMX takes the highest precedence.
PWM Frequency Menu
The PWM driving frequency can be adjusted. This might
have an impact on the way some cameras respond to the
light emitted by the A2 ET Mk2.
Backlight Menu
The NORMAL setting will turn the display green back light
on after any key operation. It will turn it off after a 15
seconds of in-activity. The ON setting will keep the back
light always on. The OFF setting will keep the back light
always off, regardless of any operation.
Factory Defaults Menu
Running the Factory default sequence will reset all the user
configurable parameters, including DMX address, presets,
Personality, Lamp On mode, Etc.
Temperature Menu
This menu shows the current fixture temperature in degrees
Celsius.
LED and CPU operating temperatures can be monitored
from the control panel as well as RDM.
Test Menu
Using this menu you can test every group of LEDS in the ET
fitting. The LEDs will turn on at full power, so avoid looking
at the light directly when performing the test.
Firmware Version
Indicates the current firmware version installed in the
fitting. Please check ENTTEC website for latest firmware
version.
