The Stage Manager is a wall mounted automation control station with connectors allowing for easy repositioning. It includes all the necessary control components in a single rugged enclosure: Industrial touch screen PC, integrated Showstopper 3 Consolette, slide out keyboard and locking power switch.

This manual will guide you through:

  • Unpacking

  • Installing

  • Powering up

  • Operation

  • Troubleshooting

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

Inside the box you should find:

  • 1 set of keys which are required to power on the Stage Manager

  • 1 quick contractor installation guide

  • 1 mounting template

  • 1 Stage Manager enclosure

  • 1 IEC locking power cord

If any of these items are missing, please contact Creative Conners, Inc immediately for a replacement. If you purchased any additional equipment, cables, or accessories, those items are packaged separately.

STAGE MANAGER FEATURES

  1. Integrated Computer - The industrial computer comes equipped with a sleek 1920x1080 touchscreen display and Windows 10 Enterprise.

  2. Key-Locked Power Switch and Indicator Lights - Two indicator lights show when the Stage Manager is connected to power, and if the industrial computer is turned on. The keyed power switch is the first line of defense to deter unauthorized access to the automation controls.

  3. USB 3.0 - A USB 3.0 port allows for easy transfer of files and updates for Spikemark.

  4. Integrated Showstopper 3 Consolette - Manual jogging is easily accomplished with the jog paddle or jog wheel. Use the buttons on the right to select, initiate and stop programmed cues. Configuration for the Integrated Consolette is completed inside of Spikemark.

  5. Emergency Stop - Once connected to a Showstopper 3 Base or Hub, indicator lights show when your system is ready to go and a mushroom button gives you quick stopping authority over all automation.

  1. Network - The Stage Manager comes equipped with 2 EtherCON ports

  2. Showstopper Accessory - Connect the Stage Manager to the Emergency Stop system for complete control.

  3. Integrated Keyboard - When the touchscreen just won’t cut it, quickly pull out the all-in-one keyboard.
