Product
Description
The Obey 40 (the board) is a small, yet compact and powerful controller with several playback
modes. It can control up to 192
channels. These channels are arranged into 12 groups, which are
accessed using the <FIXTURES>
buttons. Each fixture contains 16 predetermined DMX channels.
These 16 channels are broken down into 2 groups, which are accessed using <Page Select>
. This
allows 8 physical faders to control 16 channels.
Mounting
The Obey 40 has openings for rack mounting into a standard 19-inch rack.
Mounting
Dimensions
Programming
Concepts
The Obey 40 uses DMX addressing and values to control products. See DMX Addressing and
DMX Addressing Chart for information.
Looks are created by using the faders to send DMX values to the products. The
looks are saved into
scenes and the scenes are saved as steps into
chases. The scenes and chases are played back at
different speeds and with different types of triggers.
• Looks are created in Program mode. The products are selected with the fixture buttons. The
faders are moved to control the products and create looks. Then the looks are saved to scenes
with the scene buttons, and the scenes are saved to steps in chases with the chase buttons.
See 4. Programming
for more information.
• Scenes and chases are played back in Playback mode. The scenes are triggered with the
scenes buttons and the chases are triggered with the chase buttons. Timing of playback is set
with the speed and time faders, the tap-sync function, or MIDI input. See 5. Playback
for more
information.
Looks can be created in playback mode, but they cannot be saved.

3. SETUP
AC Power
The Obey 40 has an auto-ranging external power supply, that can work with an input voltage range
of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. It runs on 9 VDC, 500 mA.
Before turning on the power, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages
as
listed on the label affixed to the product or as described in Technical Specifications in this document.
The listed rating indicates average current draw under normal conditions.
• Always connect the board to a grounded circuit.
• Never connect the board to a rheostat or dimmer circuit.
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Mounting
The Obey 40 may be mounted in any position; make sure adequate ventilation is provided around
the product.
Setting Up The
Board
In order to use the controller it must be connected to the products with DMX cables and the products
must be addressed correctly. The sections below described DMX cabling and DMX addressing.
DMX Cabling
DMX cabling is required to get DMX values from the board to the products. Connect the DMX cable
from DMX Out of the board to DMX In of the first product in the rig.
Then connect another DMX cable from DMX Out of the first product in the rig to DMX I
n of the next
product.
Continue connecting until all the products are connected.

DMX
Addressing
The Obey 40 uses DMX addressing. The board controls lights with specific DMX addresses and the
lights must be addressed correctly for the board to control them.
More than one light can have the same DMX address, but lights with the same DMX address
should
be the same type.
Below is a chart showing the Obey 40 DMX address ranges with their corresponding fixture buttons.

<FIXTURES 10>
161–176
<FIXTURES 11>
177–192
<FIXTURES 12>
After the products are addressed, the board controls them with the <FIXTURES> buttons. For
example:
• Any product or products addressed at 49 are controlled with <FIXTURES 4>.
• Any product or products addressed at 145 are controlled with <FIXTURES 10>.
Faders and
Pages
The Obey 40 has 8 channel faders on 2 fader pages for a total of 16 channels.
F
aders control different DMX addresses depending on which page is active and which fixture button
is pressed.
Pages are a method for controlling 16 channels with only 8 channel faders. T
oggling between pages
toggles between two DMX addresses for the fader. When Page A is active, the faders are numbered
1–8. When Page B is active, the faders are numbered 9–16.
The <Page Select> button toggles between active pages. The Page A and Page B LED
s indicate
which page is active.
When Page A is active, the channel faders control the first 8 DMX addresses of the selected light.
When Page B
is active, the channel faders control the second 8 DMX addresses of the selected
light.
Fader DMX
Addresses
The default fader DMX addresses are determined by the combination of <FIXTURES> buttons and
Page A or Page B. For example:
• When <FIXTURES 1> is selected, the default DMX addresses of the channel faders are 1–16.
DMX 1–8 when Page A is active and DMX 9–16 when Page B is active.
• When <FIXTURES 7> is selected, the default DMX addresses of the channel faders are 97–
112.
DMX 97–104 when Page A is active and DMX 105–112 when Page B is active.
When 2 fixture buttons are selected each fader has 2 different default DMX addresses. For example:
• When <FIXTURES 1> and <FIXTURES 7> are selected, channel fader 1 has DMX addresses of
both 1 and 97.
Obey 40 User Manual Rev. 9 Page 19 of 160
Fader
Customizations
Fader customizations are very powerful tools, but are not required. The Obey 40 can control a
substantial lighting rig without any fader customization.
Fader customization is one of two things:
• Fader assignment which changes the default DMX address of a channel fader.
• Fader reversal which reverses the fader output.
Fader assignment changes the DMX address of a fader within a fixture button, so that 2
lights,
assigned to different fixture buttons and with different DMX channel configurations
can be controlled
from a single channel fader. See Creating A Fader for more information.
Note: Refer to the products’ User Manuals for information abo
ut DMX channel
configurations.
Fader reversal changes the order of the DMX values sent out as the channel fader moves. In normal
mode a channel fader sends out a higher DMX value as it moves upward, sending out the value 0 at
the bottom and 255 at the top. When a fader is reversed,
it sends out the value 255 at the bottom
and 0 at the top. See Creating A Fader Reversal for more information.
The fader LEDs indicate when a fader has been customized or reversed.
Creating A Fader
Assignment
A fader assignment is when the default DMX address of a fader is changed. Fader assignment is a
powerful tool that is helpful in certain situations, but it is not required.
The following instructions describe how to create a fa
der assignment for a specific fader, but fader
assignments can be created for any fader within any fixture button.
To create a fader assignment and change the DMX address of <FIXTURES 2><Channel 7>
from 7
to 5, do the following:
1. Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to enter fader assignment customization.
2. Press <FIXTURES 2>.
3. Check that <FIXTURES 2> is the only fixture button selected and press any lit fixture buttons to
deselect them.
4. Move the <Speed Time> fader until the 0707 shows in the LCD display.
5. Move the <Fade Time> until the 05 shows in the right side of the LCD display.
Note: The LCD display shows 0705 because 7 is the fader being customized, and 5 is the
DMX address that will be assigned to fader 7.
6. Press <Midi/Add> to save the customization.
7. Move the <Speed Time> fader until the 0505 shows on the LCD display.
8. Move the <Fade Time> fader until 0516 shows on the LCD display.
9. Press <Midi/Add> to save the setting.
Note: Steps 7–9 reassign fader 5 to an unused DMX address, so that
fader 5 and fader 7 are
not both trying to send to DMX address 5.
10. Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to exit fader assignment customization.
• Each channel fader within a fixture selection can send values to only one DMX address. If
a fader’s default DMX address is reassigned, that fader must be given another DMX
address.
• Custom fader assignments can only be removed by performing a soft reset. Resetting the
board removes all other board customizations and programming. See Resetting The Board
for more information.
Page 20 of 160 Obey 40 User Manual Rev. 9
Copying A Fader
Assignment
Fader assignments can be copied from one fixture button to another.
To copy the fader customization from <FIXTURES 2> to <FIXTURES 11> do the following:
1. Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together to enter fader assignment customization.
2. Press and hold <FIXTURES 2>.
3. Continue holding <FIXTURES 2>, and press and hold <FIXTURES 11>.
4. Continue holding <FIXTURES 2> and <FIXTURES 11> and press and hold <Midi/Add>.
5. Continue holding <FIXTURES 11> and <MIDDI/Add>, but release <FIXTURES 2>.
6. Continue holding <Midi/Add>, but release the <FIXTURES 11>.
7. Release <Midi/Add>.
8. Press
<Program>
and
<Tap Sync/Display>
together to exit fader assignment customization.
Copying a custom fader assignment will not copy a reverse fader.
Creating A Fader
Reversal
A fader reversal is when the order of values sent by a fader is reversed. Instead of sending the
highest value when the fader is up, a reversed fader sends the lowest value when the fader is up.
Fader reversals are a powerful tool, but they are not required.
The following instructions describe reversing a specific fader, but any fader, within any fixture button,
can be reversed.
To reverse <Channel 12> on <FIXTURES 9>, do the following:
1. Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together 2 times to enter fader reversal
customization.
2. Press the <FIXTURES 9>.
3. Move the <Speed Time> fader until 12 shows in the LCD display.
4. Move the <Fade Time> all the way up to activate fader reversal. The character to the right of 12
in the LCD display will change.
5. Press <Midi/Add> to save the setting.
6. Press <Program> and <Tap Sync/Display> together 2 times to exit fader reversal
customization.
Resetting the
Board
Resetting the board clears out all customizations and programming, and returns the board to its
factory
default settings. The board should be reset for new shows that require new customizations
and configurations. Resetting the Board can be used to clear out odd behaviors after many
customizations.
To reset the board, do the following:
1. Turn the board off.
2. Press and hold <Bank Up> and <Auto/Del> together.
3. While still pressing <Bank Up> and <Auto/Del>, turn the board on. The LCD display flashes to
indicate a successful operation.
• Resetting the board erases all scenes, chases, and customizations.
• Resetting the board can take up to 30 seconds.
