Yes, this is the existing unit. With only 8 channels working on this unit, I might be better off eliminating this old one and wiring in new edison outlets and installing the 2 elations. That will give 12 channels...assumin g that they still work. I think I have an old control console around...

I got called in on a church gig. They have an old but working Leviton NRD 8000 pack, and they got a donation of 2 used Elation DP 640B packs. I plugged in one of the new units and came out of the old pack (with 3 pin) and into the first new Elation pack, just to try it. The old pack has dip...

Thanks. I did this yesterday and it worked. Yes, I had just forgotten how to ride a tricycle in a racing bike world. When that pesky number disappeared from the screen, I said 'sumbeetch'. Thanks again

It's been years since I had to program an Express, so I must have forgotten something...but I have this small problem: In Patch, I have entered the dimmer and then the desired channel, but when the screen flips to the newly joined dimmer and channel, there is a different color number 10 under...

TA-DAH !!! IT WORKED. I took one of those Indiana Jones 'leap of faith' and just programmed it all into a few 'garbage cues', and then let it run.Now what was so doggone hard about that ?????Thank you, thank you.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not sure that I fully get it. If the 55 min. fadedown is Cue 2, are you saying to record cues 3, 4, 5, and 6 as JUST the light going on and off per cue? Wouldn't that affect the fadedown? Am I or am I NOT inputting the other area lights (and with what intensities)...

I recently began working with this Element 60-250 console after many years of older ones. So I'm not too familiar with programming it, but I can do the straight basics enough to have run a few shows already.But I'm doing a show now where I have a 55 minute continuous fade down to a night...

I also have one school with 7 floor pockets. For the ones that work, I just take a male pin connector with no wiring in it and plug them into those females inside. There's 3 circuits per pocket.For the ones that were beyond repair, I just took the time to lie on the floor and remove the old...

I've been a reader and a lurker here for a few years. Been doing tech stuff back to the days of variacs...and I still have 2 of those old anchors.Now I am LD at a place that has an Element 60-250 and just getting used to it...actually I have a question for a show that I'm working on that I...

I've been here before many times to get advice and just snoop around.I work in a small house of less than 200 seats and still have in use a Microvision FX board that works. Standard older lights and about 15 used source 4's. They are our '21st century' lights so far.
