The FOS 17R Hybrid CMY is a versatile lighting fixture designed for professional event applications, offering a comprehensive range of functions suitable for concerts, festivals, theatre, clubs, and discos. Its hybrid nature allows it to operate in Beam, Spot, and Wash modes, providing flexibility for various lighting designs.
The FOS 17R Hybrid CMY is a high-output moving head fixture capable of producing a powerful light beam. Its optical system allows for a wide zoom range, enabling transitions from tight beams to broad washes. The fixture incorporates a sophisticated color mixing system, utilizing Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow flags, along with multiple dichroic color filters. This CMY mixing capability, combined with additional color wheels, provides a vast spectrum of color options.
Mechanical effects are extensive, including multiple fixed and rotating gobos for projecting various patterns and textures. Two combinable prisms allow for beam multiplication and dynamic visual effects. A frost filter can be engaged to soften the beam, transforming it into a wash light. Motorized focus ensures sharp projections at different distances, while a mechanical shutter provides dimming and strobe effects. The fixture supports multiple DMX channel modes (21, 23, 26 channels), offering varying levels of control complexity. It can also operate in Sound Active, Master/Slave, and Auto modes for standalone or synchronized operation without a DMX controller.
The FOS 17R Hybrid CMY is designed for temporary use in event settings. It can be mounted in both hanging and upright positions using its supporting brackets. When hanging, a safety cable is mandatory for secure installation. The fixture features a user-friendly interface with a touch screen and four navigation buttons (Up, Down, Enter) for easy menu access and setting adjustments.
The menu system provides access to various operational modes, including Auto, Wireless, and DMX. Users can select different DMX channel modes to suit their control setup. The fixture offers options for reversing Pan and Tilt movements, adjusting the Pan angle (540°/360°), and enabling XY feedback for precise movement control. A "SignalClear" function allows the fixture to return to a default position if the DMX signal is lost. "Full Color" and "Shortcut" options enhance color and effect transitions.
Diagnostic and informational features are available through the "System Info" menu, which displays DMX values, hardware information (firmware, temperature, running time), and any error messages. The "Display Setting" menu allows users to adjust screen brightness, light delay, and flickering behavior. "Lamp Setting" provides control over lamp operation, including default, manual, and electronic modes. The interface also supports screen reversal and language selection.
For testing and setup, the "Test Run" menu offers Auto and Sound modes. The "Simulate DMX" feature allows users to manually adjust DMX values for all 26 channels on the screen to create static effects, aiding in pre-programming or troubleshooting.
Maintenance of the FOS 17R Hybrid CMY should only be performed by a qualified electrician. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent dust accumulation, which can affect performance and safety. The fixture should be cleaned with a moist cloth, avoiding liquids or direct water spray, and allowed to dry completely before use.
Safety precautions are paramount. The fixture must always be earthed and supplied with its nominal voltage. A minimum distance of 0.5 meters must be maintained between the equipment and any combustible surface. It is crucial to operate the product in a well-ventilated area and avoid staring directly into the light source. Before any maintenance, the power must be disconnected.
Fuse replacement requires disconnecting the fixture from the main power and using only a fuse of the appropriate type and rating to prevent damage. When replacing the lamp, the fixture must be allowed to cool down completely as the lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Lamps should not be touched with bare hands. Deformed or cracked lamps must be replaced immediately and recycled properly due to harmful materials. Only the same type of lamp should be used for replacement, and the fixture should never be operated without its covers when the lamp is on.
For IP-rated fixtures, regular checks of seals and plastic/rubber materials are necessary as they are aging parts and can affect the fixture's protection level over time.
