Betapack 3 Topset

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

New to Zero 88 products, have used a few of the cheap stuff before, but have upgraded to a Jester 12/24 and three betapack3s.

 

The topset function is new to me and am just a little confused.

 

Does it limit the percentage output on a channel, i.e. max the light will go to is 90% or does it limit the max amps per channel.

 

At the moment, for one show I'm doing, they don't have proper power distribution and am running them off 13amp sockets. Just keeping the load right down.

I'm not exceeding 10amps per dimmer.

 

Just wondering if the Topset function can help with this.

 

Many thanks for your assistance and great products!

Hi James,

 

It limits the channels to the percentage output i.e the intensity if a lamp would not go above 90% it does not limit the current on the channel.

 

For a 13amp suppply the load per channel should not be more than 500w per channel.

then you need to be aware of the max load for the ring i.e. how it is wired to prevent overloading.

Thanks for your clarification on the topset. Not sure where that would be useful though.

 

I am aware of the max load for the ring, so that's isn't a problem and have worked out load balancing also.

 

Many thanks for your quick reply.
