MK2 Controller
Akurat MK2 panels are equipped with a completely new controller. The parameters of the light are regulated by a large, comfortable, multifunctional knob. Pushing the knob switches the parameter to be adjusted, turning it changes its value. The adjustment is made in steps depended on the turning speed of the knob, which enables achieve a large jump in the case of fast turning, or fine tuning in the case of slow rotation.
Tungsten and Daylight buttons allow you to instantly set the standard CCT light.
The controller is equipped with a DMX 512 signal decoder. It is also adapted to wireless control in the W-DMX system by additional communication module.
Remote Control
The DMX512 signal is connected to the lamp with a RJ45 plug. DMX terminal is equipped with two slots to build a standard DMX network a “daisy chain”. These inputs are not isolated. If the fixture is used in more complex networks that require optoisolation, the Akurat DMX XLR Plate module should be used. Ask your dealer for a quote.
The MK2 DMX terminal is also equipped with a USB socket for connecting the wireless control module of the W-DMX system. There are both dedicated receiver modules for panels and transmitting modules for connecting to the output of any lighting controller operating in the DMX512 system.
After connecting the signal, the controller automatically switches to DMX mode. The setting of the DMX channel is made using the multifunctional knob. The newly selected address is automatically saved in the controller’s non-volatile memory.
Battery operation
Adapting the panel to battery power requires ordering the appropriate Battery Plate. You can choose between the V-Lock and Gold-Mount systems. MK2 lights come with the AC adapter attached with Velcro to the AC Adapter Plate. The Battery Plate is installed by the user in place of the AC Adapter Plate. The manual and the TX08 tool are attached to the Battery Plate.
