GLC-12 DIRECTIONS

GAM GLC-12 puts out 12 channels of control with both a DMX 512 and a 10 volt DC signal. Output connections for both are located on the rear panel along with a 16 volt DC input jack for operating power. Your GLC-12 is supplied with a AC to DC power supply which you will need to connect to the 16 volt DC receptacle on the rear panel.

You may choose to use either the DMX output or the 10 volt DC output or both at the same time; driving dimmers and/or other remote controlled items such as GAM StarStrobe, Flickermasters or multiple GLC-12's. The 10 volt DC output terminal strip located on the back panel is marked Channels 1 through 12 and there is a plus and minus connection. The GLC-12 is also equipped with a standard 5 pin connector.

How to Operate The GAM GLC-12 offers 16 pre-programmed chase sequences. To select one, start with the FUNCTION knob. There are four choices, Lightning, 2, 3 or 4. Then go to the SELECT knob which offers four positions, A, B C or D. For each of the FUNCTION positions you can choose one of four different sequences with the SELECT knob.

The RATE knob varies the speed of the sequence from very slow to very fast. To select the number of channels you wish to chase (from as few as one to as many as 12) set the STEPS knob to the number of chase channels you prefer. Observe the LED display to check your setting. Use the DARK/LIGHT switch to select a dark or a light chase and set the STROBE/OTHER to the STROBE position for Strobes (pulses) or to the OTHER position for continuous DC signal. To begin the chase effect press the START button. End the chase sequence by pressing the STOP button.

See the sequence of your chase on the LED display at the top of the front panel numbered 1 through 12. You will see the change of the speed when you adjust the RATE knob or the change of dark to light chase by flipping the DARK/LIGHT switch and the number of channels selected with the STEP knob.

REMOTE control the START & STOP function of the GLC-12 by applying a simple closure switch to connect to the REMOTE input jack. You can also use a 6 to 10 volt DC signal to start and stop the GLC-12.
