ComponentFunctionsandOperations


PanandTiltMotor/Encoders

Periodicallycheckbelttensionandsurfaceofencoderwheelforimpurities.Impuritiesordings
ontheencoderwheelwillcausepanortiltfunctiontoshudderormoveerratically.Sometimes
thisismistakenformissingorbrokenteethonthebelt.Belttensionmustbemaintainedto
drivetheencoderwheel.Allunitsemployopticalsensorstocalibrateandestablishlimitsof
pan/tilt.Familiarizeyourselfwiththesecomponentsandwheretheencodercalibrates.

Douser

SyncroliteutilizesaVenetianblindtypewithvanesattachedtoleverslinkedbyacommonshaft
turnedbyaSyncrolitecustomservomotorwithopticalencoder.Allvanesshouldopenand
closetogether.Checkadjustmentofeachvaneperiodically.Closurecanbeadjustedby
looseningthesetscrewoneachvanepivot.Thedouserassemblycalibratesfirst,andstaysshut
afterlampstrikesoastoavoidundesiredrevealingofthelampbeam.

TheVenetianblinddouserisaneffectivefaderforourXenonproduct.Thedouserisdrivenby
aservomotorattachedtoalinkageassemblythatcalibratestoamechanicalstop.Thedouser
assemblycalibratesfirst.

DMXValues0‐255aretheproportionalequivalentofdousingvalues0‐100%,with0%being


TheMX4usesalinearactuatorsteppermotortoaffectbeamwidth.Thismechanismattaches
thelampsocketassemblytothelinearactuator,whichmovesinorouttochangebeamwidth.
