Setup 19
Manual control
The manual control menu () allows you to:
• reset the fixture (
)
• position and move individual effects (commands are listed on page 31 under ‘Control Menu’)
Service utilities
Important! [Enter] must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu.
TEST SEQUENCES
provides a general test of all effects, allowing testing without a controller.
→ provides routines for circuit board testing that are for service use only.
FEEDBACK TOGGLES
On-the-fly position correction systems monitor pan and tilt as well as the CMY filters. If a position error is
detected, the fixture self-corrects. If the system cannot correct the position within 10 seconds, feedback is
automatically disabled.
Pan/tilt position correction can be temporarily disabled by setting
→to off. CMY position
correction can be temporarily disabled by setting →to off. Off settings are not saved, and
position correction systems will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts.
ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment menu (→) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See
page 32.
CALIBRATION
The calibration menu (→) allows offsets relative to mechanical reset or home positions to be
entered in the fixture software. This lets you fine tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance
between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative
to an arbitrary reference fixture.
All offsets can be set to
(the middle of their adjustment range) with the default offset command: select
→→→ then press [Enter].
To calibrate effects
1. Apply power but do not apply power to the lamp until zoom has been calibrated.
2. To calibrate zoom, first remove the bottom head cover. Select
→→ and press [Enter].
Run the zoom car to the rearmost limit of its travel (i.e. furthest back towards the lamp) where it is
pressing both end stop switches fully closed. Adjust the zoom car forwards slightly until you hear an
audible click from the end stop switches as they open. Press [Enter] to save the setting. Replace the
bottom head cover.
3. Pan calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom and tilt
positions for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value.
Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
→→ and
press [Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to
save the setting.
4. Tilt calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom and pan
positions for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX value. Select one
fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
→→ and press [Enter].
Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press [Enter] to save the
setting.
5. To calibrate CMY filters, project white beams with no dimming and position them for easy comparison.
On each fixture, including the reference, select
→→ and press [Enter]. This adds a
defined amount of cyan. Select one fixture to be the reference. Adjust the offsets on the other fixtures to
match the reference color. Press [Enter] to save the setting. Repeat for
(magenta) and
(yellow).
