Each light is mounted on the scaffolding bars attached to the ceiling of the room, and plugged in to dedicated round-pin mains sockets. Each of these sockets is fed from a plug on the wall above the lighting desk. There are a set of 11 cables which come from the outputs of the lighting dimmers, and are plugged in to the wall to control which socket is fed from which dimmer. | Each light is mounted on the scaffolding bars attached to the ceiling of the room, and plugged in to dedicated round-pin mains sockets.

===Programming memories=== | |||
The Zero88 desk allows you to pre-configure your lighting using memories. Heres how to program a memory: | |||
* Using the Dial or keyswitch, put the desk into Program mode. (shown with red L.E.D on sides of dial / keyswitch). | |||
* Set all the sliders to 0. Zero. | |||
* Pull up the grand master(the very bottom, right slider). | |||
* Pull up the "B" Master (The "presets" fader with the same colour as those of the 2nd top line of faders - red or blue.) | |||
* Make sure you are using the 2nd row of presets for the above instruction. NOT doing this will mean all your states to be programmed won't be programmed! | |||
* Set the required lighting state - fiddle with 2nd row of sliders until all looks good. etc.etc. | |||
* On the lower part of the Desk, there are memory buttons. use them to select the memory you want to program - (1 to 99). | |||
* are you sure you like that lighting state? OK, hit (gently!) the "program memory" button. | |||
* Job done. | |||
===Transferring a memory to a "manual master"=== | |||
* In program mode. | |||
* choose the appropriate memory using memory up & down buttons. | |||
* slide fully up, the "manual master" you want to transfer to... | |||
* press that slider's "transfer". | |||
* the memory you transferred's number will appear for that "manual master"'s fader. | |||
* Job done. Test it by leaving all sliders down apart from grand master & that "manual master" - if lights are on, good! if not, try again! | |||
===Manual=== | |||
* stapled together paper manual from Zero88 is ontop of dimmer rack. | |||
