My school has a Lehigh (typical, I know) Lighting System. Our dimmer is a
DX2 Series Dimmer Cabinet, which works pretty well for our purposes. Literally three hours ago, I was forced to run lights for a school production off of the dimmer switches in the cabinet because a power outage wiped the ram for the second time in 2 months... It was a nightmare... Anyway, I'm interested in learning how to reprogram the dimmer cabinet myself. Beyond the obvious legal issues (like the fact that I don't own it) is the process all that complicated? The last time it happened, the county brought out the guy who installed it and he fixed it within the hour. However, the process of getting him there took two weeks and I really don't enjoy waiting, especially when there are productions at risk.
Also, isn't there suppose to be some sort of backup battery located within the cabinet to prevent the loss of date during a power outage? I'd like to prevent the problem from happening in the first place.
Thanks,
