Adding a timer to ETC Unison

[theatre4jc]

I am trying to find a way to add a timer to my Unison system in one of my rooms. I know it is possible because my main auditorium has this set up. The way that room is configured is after a wall preset is pressed it automatically triggers a 20 minute timer. After 20 minutes the lights fade out. This does not happen on our LCD controls, where instead we have a timer start and stop button.

In one of my other rooms the lights tend to get left on for hours, sometimes days. So I want to add this type of feature in that room as well. But I cannot figure out how. Is this possible for an end user? I cannot find on the unision a command line for adding in a timer. I know how to increase the fade time, but that is not what I want to alter. I want to make the room automatically turn itself off after X number of minutes. How can I go about doing this?

theatre4jc,

That functionality is programmed in your configuration using a complex program called Light Manager. Because of the complexity of this program, we require a minimum of 8 hours of training before we allow a site to have access to the program.

In your case, it will be easier to contact a local ETC Technician who can come to your site and make the requested changes with you to ensure proper functionality.
