IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This manual gives step-by-step instructions for the preparation, setup, and operation of the CXI color changer.

There is a potential risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons if the product is not used as instructed.

The Coloram II Power Supply is to be used in an indoor environment only and is not intended for residential use.

The CXI color changers are not intended for residential use.

Introduction

The CXI System is a color mixing color changer and power supply in a range of models offering ease of setup and use. The lightweight color changers slide easily into the gel frame holder of the light fixture. The compact power supplies attach easily to the truss of the lighting rig or mount into a 19-inch rack.

This manual gives step-by-step instructions for preparation, setup and operation of the

CXI Color Changer and power supply.

The CXI System Overview

The CXI System consists of one or more CXI Color Changers and a remote Coloram II

Power Supply. The DMX512 control signal from the lighting board is connected to the power supply and can continue on to more Coloram II Power Supplies or other DMX controlled devices. The power supply sends both power and control signal on a single cable eliminating the need for a separate power cable for the color changer.

CXI color changers are 100% compatible with all members of the Coloram II family including Coloram II color changers, the Coloram II Power Supplies, the Eclipse Dowser and others. You can daisy chain CXI color changers with other Coloram equipment if you wish.

The CXI System also allows you to control the color changer fan speed via an additional

DMX channel from the lighting console.

The CXI System is equipped with the Intelligent Diagnostic System (IDS). Status information is sent from each of the CXI Color Changers to the Coloram II Power

Supply.

Caution: The CXI System is compatible with the Coloram II equipment but is not compatible with the Forerunner System. Do not connect CXI Color

Changers to Forerunner Power Supplies, or Forerunner Color Changers to CXI

Power Supplies. Damage from such action will not be covered by the CXI or

Forerunner warranties.

Using CXI

Controls and Indicators

The CXI has controls and indicators as follows:

1.

2.

3.

4 character LED display

4 push buttons - MENU, - , + , ENTER (select/save)

Indicator LEDs

- Index mode (Yellow LED)

- control signal present (Green LED -- flashes)

- power (Red LED)

The MENU button advances you through the menu items such as "Chan", "Mode", e.t.c.

The ENTER button "selects" the menu item and "saves" the change made.

The display and yellow and green LEDs have an Auto power-off feature. They will automatically go dark after 1 minute of no pushbutton activity. If, however, an error message is displayed or a menu item has been changed and ENTER has not been pressed, the display will remain on.

Operating Modes

Select either Index or Mix mode with the push-button / display via the MODE selection --

INDX (index) or MIX.

1.

Index mode

- this is used to control both gel strings with ONE DMX channel

- channel descriptions:

- channel 1: positions both gel strings

- channel 2: gel string time-to-destination (ONLY if enabled)

2.

Mix mode

- this is used to control the two gel strings with TWO DMX

channels -- each string independently of one another

- channel descriptions:

- channel 1: positions the front gel string (farthest from the mounting plate)

- channel 2: positions the back gel string (nearest the mounting plate)

- channel 3: gel string time-to-destination (ONLY if enabled)

7

Set the Operating Channel

Set the operating channel with the push-button / display via the CHAN selection. The

CXI channels can be set from 1 to 48 except for channel setting restrictions listed below.

As with Coloram II, the channel setting formula is:

DMX channel = CXI channel + power supply starting channel - 1

Or, in a different form:

CXI channel = DMX channel - power supply starting channel +1

Example: DMX channel (10) = CXI channel (4) + power supply starting channel (7) - 1

Channel setting restrictions:

For each model power supply, CXI channel setting restrictions are as follows:

Model 20240 - Coloram II 24-Way Power Supply (600 watt)

- set the CXI to any channel from 1 to 48

Model 19012 - Coloram II 12-Way Power Supply (300 watt)

- set the CXI to any channel from 1 to 24

Model 19060 - Coloram II 6-Way Power Supply (150 watt)

- set the CXI to any channel from 1 to 12

If you set the CXI to the last channel of a power supply (e.g. channel 24 of Model

19012) but also set the CXI to a mode where more than one channel is required, the

DMX values of the additional channels (beyond channel 24) will default to 0%.

Power supply channel setting restrictions:

The power supplies receive and retransmit gel string position data for blocks of channels as follows:

Model 20240 - Coloram II 24-Way Power Supply (600 watt)

- a block of 48 channels

Model 19012 - Coloram II 12 Way-Power Supply (300 watt)

- a block of 24 channels

Model 19060 - Coloram II 6-Way Power Supply (150 watt)

- a block of 12 channels

Note: If the power supply is set to TALKBACK = ON, the power supply starting channels are limited to 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, etc.

Mix Mode Color Tables

The Mix mode uses two DMX channels as follows:

- channel 1: positions the front gel string (farthest from the

mounting plate)

- channel 2: positions the back gel string (nearest the

mounting plate)

- channel 3: gel string time-to-destination (ONLY if enabled)

Intermediate DMX levels will "split the frames" by placing portions of two different colors in the aperture yielding "custom colors".

The following table lists MIX mode colors sorted by DMX % level. A source temperature of 3200 degrees K. is presumed.

Head-Feet Restrictions

HEAD-FEET is defined as "the sum of cable lengths from each color changer to a single power supply output".

The HEAD-FEET parameter is a method of accounting for the voltage drop in the power/signal cable caused by the current drawn by each color changer.

To help understand this issue, think of it as water pressure (voltage) in a hose (cable) where you have multiple water sprinkler heads (color changers). If the hose (cable) is too long or you have too many sprinkler heads (color changers), the water pressure

(voltage) will be too low.

The maximum HEAD-FEET for each of the CXI color changers is as follows:

Model 4560 4-inch CXI

Model 7200 7.5-inch CXI

Model 12210 12-inch CXI

750 head-feet max.

750 head-feet max.

500 head-feet max.

Model 7420 MultiPAR CXI 1500 head-feet max.

Model 16050 Large Format CXI 750 head-feet max.

"Head-Feet" Example:

There are three CXI Color Changers connected to a power supply. The Coloram II

Cable between the power supply and the first CXI is 100 feet long. The cables between each of the CXI's is 20 feet long.

The amount of cable from the power supply to:

1st CXI 100 ft

2nd CXI 120 ft

3rd CXI 140 ft total: 360 "head-feet"

Fan Speed Control

Set the fan speed control with the push-button / display via the FAN selection.

1.

RMOT (Remote control) -- the commands from the power supply

16

2.

3.

will control the fan speed. See the Coloram II Power Supply manual for details.

Low -- for quietest operation.

Norm (Normal speed) -- for longest gel life

Error Messages

The CXI can display error messages as follows:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Roll Call -- this is displayed when the power supply is plugged in and the CXIs are waiting for the power supply to request each CXI to "report in".

The following messages are related to gel string initialization: a.

front gel too short - rollers stalled before the end of the gel string was reached b.

c.

d.

front gel too long - gel string came loose from a roller back gel too short - rollers stalled before the end of the gel string was reached back gel too long - gel string came loose from a roller

Low Volt (low voltage) there is less than 17VDC at the CXI. This is a warning that the voltage is dangerously low. This is normally a "head-feet" cable problem.

Shut Down - there is less than 16 VDC at the CXI and the unit has shut down because it cannot work properly below this voltage. This is normally a "head-feet" cable problem or the user has commanded a "shut down" from the power supply.

Mtrs Errs (Motors Errors) -- both motors cannot get to their commanded position because the roller is jammed or the rotary encoder has failed.

Mtr1 Err (Motor 1 Error) -- motor #1 cannot get to its commanded position because the roller is jammed or the rotary encoder has failed.

Mtr2 Err (Motor 2 Error) -- motor #2 cannot get to its commanded position because the roller is jammed or the rotary encoder has failed.

XRAM Fail (Nonvolitile RAM failure) -- the memory device which saves the menu settings after power down has failed.

Power Supply

The power supplies for CXI color changer are the various models of the Coloram II power supply.

Quantity of CXI Color Changers per Power Supply

Model 20240 - Coloram II 24-Way Power Supply (600 watt)

- use 12 CXI Color Changers maximum

Model 19012 - Coloram II 12-Way Power Supply (300 watt)

- use 6 CXI Color Changers maximum

Model 19060 - Coloram II 6-Way Power Supply (150 watt)

- use 3 CXI Color Changers maximum

Gel String Loading

The CXI gel string installation procedure is as follows:

Note: The CXI relies on the gel string being taped securely to the rollers. Be sure the roller is clean and use good quality GAFF tape. The tape length should be 2/3 of the roller length and apply the tape "lengthwise" on the roller.

1. Put the color changer on table, mounting plate down with the 4 pushbuttons toward you, remove the front cover

2. The back gel string is yellow-magenta a.

tape the "yellow end" of gel string to the lower left roller, roll the gel string onto the lower left roller

3.

4.

b.

holding the gel string, wind up the lower right roller 6 turns and tape the gel string on

The front gel string is magenta-cyan a.

tape the "magenta end" of gel string to the upper left roller, roll the gel string onto the upper left roller b.

holding the gel string, wind up the upper right roller 6 turns and tape the gel string on

Replace the front cover
