Adjusting Wheel Clearance
Trackspot User Manual
Reinstalling the Color Wheel or Gobo Wheel
1. Hold the wheel so that the large ends of the keyhole slots are
pointed down and the adhesive used to hold glass to the wheel is
facing away from the lamp.
Dichroic glass is attached to both the gobo wheel and color wheel.
On one side of the wheel, you can clearly see the adhesive used to
attach the glass. On the other side of the wheel, you see only the
glass (no adhesive).
Caution: You must replace the wheel so that the
adhesive used to hold the glass to the wheel is
facing away from the lamp, otherwise, the
heat from the lamp could melt the adhesive
and cause the glass to fall from the wheel.
2. Place the bottom of the wheel in the sensor groove. Carefully slip
the large ends of the keyhole slots over the hex screws. Push the
wheel in then down until the hex screws are in the narrow ends of
the keyhole slots.
3. Tighten the hex screws while holding the wheel in place. Tighten
the screws only until they are snug; do not overtighten.
4. Manually rotate the wheel and note any contact between the wheel
and its sensor. If there is contact, remove the wheel and lay it on a
flat surface to determine if the wheel is warped. If the wheel is
warped, contact High End Systems customer service (see “Getting
Help” on page Intro-3). If the wheel is not warped, adjust the
wheel’s clearance to the sensor. For more information, see
“Adjusting Wheel Clearance” on page 2-12.
When you have successfully cleaned the fixture’s internal components,
reconnect the safety cable (if applicable), replace the access door, and
secure the thumb latch.
Adjusting Wheel Clearance
Adjust the wheel clearance to prevent either the color or gobo wheel
from making contact with its sensor or any other object in the
Trackspot fixture.
Before you adjust the wheel clearance, remove the wheel and lay it on a
flat surface to determine if the wheel is warped (see “Removing the
Color Wheel or Gobo Wheel” on page 3-10.) If the wheel is warped,
contact High End Systems customer service (see “Getting Help” on
page Intro-3).
If the wheel is not warped, reinstall the wheel and follow the procedure
below to adjust the wheel clearance (see “Reinstalling the Color Wheel
or Gobo Wheel” on page 3-12.)
