Anyscene 512 Operating

Instructions

1. Overview and Operation

The front panel has ten buttons and ten LED indicators. Switches labelled 1-7 have their

own blue mimic LEDs and are used for storing and recalling the contents of the 23

programmable memories.

The Up and Down buttons are normally used to control the Master level, allowing control

of the overall lighting level. They also provide access to the upper and lower memory

banks, each of eight scenes.

The green power LED shows when the unit is powered up, and the yellow data LED

indicates that the unit is receiving suitable programming data from a DMX source. Switch

0 is the blackout switch and when enabled the corresponding red LED will flash to indicate

the unit is in this mode.

The RJ45 sockets are on the back of the PCB along various option DIL switches and the

connectors for the external scene recall control.

The Anyscene 512 is also available with a reduced number of buttons for applications that

require less than the standard number of scenes. These include a 4-button version

allowing four user defined scenes to be programmed / recalled and a 5-button version that

also has the four user defined scenes, plus the blackout function / button of the standard

unit.

2. Mounting

The Anyscene 512 should be mounted using UK double pattresses with an approximate

depth of 32 mm.

3. Power Supply & Connection

The Anyscene requires a +5V DC supply capable of suppling up to 50 mA. When using

multiple Anyscene 512 they should be linked together in series with each other and then

linked to the receiving equipment. (Anytronics dimmers or the AS180)

 If used with other Anytronics equipment the required supply will be supplied through

the Cat5 cable and the system should be connected as follows,

 If used with other equipment an AS180 PSU should be used to supply power to the

Anyscene and then provide connection to the wider DMX network as follows,

Anyscene 512 Operating

Instructions

4. DMX Requirements

4.1. DMX Loading

The maximum number of DMX receivers allowed along a single line is 32 devices without

the need for a buffer. If a DMX buffer is required within the system and multiple Anyscene

512s are being used the Anyscene’s must all be linked together in a daisy chain

configuration and then joined to the buffer for correct operation to the wider DMX line.

4.2. DMX Wiring

The DMX specification is based on the use of a single DMX source at one end of a twisted

pair with receiving equipment connected along the twisted pair, the final receiver must then

have the standard 120Ω termination resistor fitted. The use of multiple DMX sources in

one system (as with a multiple Anyscene 512 installation) is not directly covered by the

specification.

When connecting Anyscene 512 units into a DMX system the same topology should be

emulated by using a daisy chain connection from one end of the system to the other. The

DMX line should be linear from start to finish ideally with no branches or junctions.

Anyscene 512 units and receiving equipment may be placed in any order along the DMX

line, but the equipment at either end of this DMX line (whether receiving equipment or an

Anyscene 512) should have a termination resistor fitted for best results.

4.3. Line Bias Network

To ensure correct operation whether there are several or just one Anyscene 512 units in

the system, only one Anyscene 512 should have its line bias network set to ON.

4.4. DMX Backup

With the power applied, the Anyscene 512 will power up and, if no input DMX data is

detected within 2 seconds, it will start to output DMX data from the last used scene. If

another source of DMX data is detected in the system, the Anyscene 512 will instead

remain dormant in standby/receive mode capturing the current DMX data with start code

zero from channels 1-512.

Whilst in this mode, the yellow Data LED will remain illuminated if valid data is being

received at any of the decoded addresses. If the memory write protection (MWP) switch

is in the OFF position, this captured DMX data can be stored as scenes as per the

programming section of this document.

If the DMX source is then disconnected or fails, the yellow Data LED on the Anyscene 512

will be extinguished. After two seconds the Anyscene 512 will start to retransmit the last

received DMX data, providing a standby or DMX backup feature. None of the mimic LEDs

will be illuminated in this mode as the output data corresponds to the last data received

rather than to the contents of any of the scene memories.

Anyscene 512 Operating

Instructions

5. Multiple Anyscene 512

Up to four Anyscene 512 units can be used within the same DMX installation allowing

smooth transfer of control from one unit to another and providing control of DMX

installations from multiple locations.

Both this pushbutton unit and IR controlled Anyscene 512s may be mixed within the same

system and they may have the same scenes or different scenes stored in each unit.

In normal operation the last activated unit will take over control of the system and provide

the DMX data. After power up, the unit which was last in control of the system will restore

the last selected scene (or auto cycle). If any normal DMX source is connected to the

system, it will take over control of the system and force all the Anyscene 512 units into a

standby/receive state.

To ensure that the scene memory contents remain intact in such multiple unit installations,

it is vital that once scene programming has been completed, the MWP switches on all units

are moved to the ON position. If this is not done, then the units may reprogram each other

when attempting to recall scenes.

5.1. Commissioning

After programming the Anyscene 512s, first test the system by connecting each Anyscene

512 one at a time to check operation over the installed cabling. This is also the procedure

to be followed in case of encountering any problems with the installation to isolate the

problem area.

Once the wiring has been checked, build up the system by adding additional Anyscene

512 units in turn and checking that control of the DMX network is passed smoothly from

one Anyscene 512 to the other when the scene recall buttons are pressed.

The dormant Anyscene 512 units should have their data LEDs lit showing that they are

receiving DMX data from the active unit. The one active Anyscene 512 unit driving the

DMX system should have its data LED extinguished and a scene LED lit.

Anyscene 512 Operating

Instructions

6.1. Auto Cycle Mode

To enter the auto cycle mode both the Up and Down buttons should be held for at least

two seconds. On entering this mode, the yellow Data LED will be illuminated until the

buttons are released and the Anyscene 512 will start to cycle round scene memories 1-7

in ascending sequence. Whilst in auto cycle mode the levels and speed can be adjusted

as per section 4.2.

If the Anyscene 512 is powered down whilst in auto cycle mode, when powered up it will

recommence the auto cycle, starting from the scene memory in which it originally started

scene cycling.

Pressing any of the scene select buttons will terminate the auto cycle mode, and the

Anyscene 512 will fade to the selected scene. The unit will also exit auto cycle mode if an

external DMX source becomes active.

6.2. Master / Speed Settings

The Master / Speed DIL switch is used in conjunction with the auto cycle feature of the

Anyscene 512 and can be used to alter the duration and speed of the cycling. As supplied,

with DIL switch 4 set to OFF the default time spent in each scene is approximately 10

seconds

 Master / Speed DIL OFF

The Up and Down buttons can be used to adjust the Master level in auto cycle

mode and the setting is reset to maximum when leaving auto cycle mode.

 Master / Speed DIL ON

The Up and Down buttons can be used to adjust the cycle Speed in auto cycle

mode. The Up button will speed up the auto cycle and reduce the cycle period to

under 3 seconds. The Down button will reduce the auto cycle speed and increase

the scene cycle period to one minute. This altered setting will normally be

maintained whilst the unit is powered.

To save the adjusted master level and speed settings the following procedure should be

followed,

a) Set the Master Level as required

b) Set the Speed as required

c) Turn the MWP DIL off

d) Turn the Master / Speed DIL off

e) Turn the MWP DIL on

The current Master and cycle time settings are now saved as the power up default, and

Master / Speed DIL can be set to ON or OFF to allow push button control either of Master

level or auto cycle period as required. Note that any time Master / Speed DIL is moved

from ON to OFF with MWP DIL in the OFF position, the current Master level and cycle

speed will be saved as the new power up default.

6.4. Clearing All Memories

To clear all saved scenes within the Anylight 512 the following procedure should be

followed,

a) With the power removed

b) Hold both the Up and Down level buttons

c) Power the unit whilst continuing to hold both buttons

d) If this operation has been successful, the Data LED on the Anyscene 512 will light

after approximately 4 seconds. It will cycle briefly on then off for 4 seconds until

the Up and Down level buttons are released.

7. Programming

7.1. Single Anyscene 512

As supplied, the Anyscene 512 scene memories have a range of saved presets allowing

electrical contractors to confirm correct operation before final commissioning of the

system. They can be easily programmed from any source of DMX data including another

Anytronics scene memory, DMX lighting desk or a computerised lighting system. The

Anyscene 512 should be programmed whilst connected into the final installation and the

programming source should be connected into the system.

a) Turn the MWP DIL switch to ‘OFF’

b) Connect the DMX programming source (DMX Desk etc.) into the system

c) Power the DMX programming source

d) Power the Anyscene 512, the power and yellow data LED should be lit

e) Use the DMX programming source to adjust the required channels

f) Press and hold the button on the Anyscene 512 where the current scene should

be saved

g) The Anyscene 512 data LED will flash twice to show the data has been saved.

h) Repeat e) to g) for all required scenes

i) Once all scenes have bee saved turn the MWP DILL ‘ON’ to protect the recently

programmed scenes

Note: To access scenes 8 to 15 the down button should be held before the scene number

is pressed. To access scenes 16 to 22 the up button should be held before the scene

number is pressed.

Note: that unless the data LED is illuminated, and unless the internal MWP DIL switch is

in the OFF position, no programming of the scenes will be possible.

7.2. Multiple Anyscene 512

When programming a multi Anyscene 512 installation each unit should be connected into

the system individually and then programmed using the sequence of 7.1.

If all Anyscene 512 are to be programmed the same the following procedure should be

followed,

a) Program the first unit as per section 7.1

b) Keep the first unit powered and then insert the second unit into the system

c) Ensure the MWP of the second unit is off

d) Recall the required scene on the first unit

e) Press and hold the required scene location on the second unit

f) The data LED on the second unit should flash twice

g) Repeat d) to f) for all scenes

h) Remove the second unit from the system and turn MWP DIL switch for that unit

to ‘ON’

i) Repeat b) to h) for all subsequent Anyscene 512
