Safety Cable

High End Systems strongly recommends using safety cables when mounting any fixture. Verify the cable used is capable of supporting the weight of the fixture.

Galvanized safety cables can be ordered from your High End Systems dealer/

distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-4).

Fixture Clamps

Verify that fixture clamps used are capable of supporting the weight of the fixture.

Deluxe C-clamps for a two-inch truss are available from your High End Systems

dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-4).

Suggested Truss Mounting Procedure

Note: Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, High End Systems cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider the following procedure as a suggested guideline only.

You will need:

• safety cables (2)

• clamps (3 or 4)

• locking washers (3 or 4)

1. Disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.

2. At least 2 people are required to mount the x.SpotXtreme fixture with one person on each side supporting and attaching that side of the fixture. Once the clamps are attached, one person can support the fixture while the other attaches safety cables.

Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a fixture to its support.

The fixture should be at a comfortable working height, and should either be resting on a stable surface, or held in a stable manner. Do not allow one person to

both support and mount the fixture.

3. Attach suitable clamps through the holes on the base of the fixture. Use locking

washers when attaching the clamps to the fixture’s base.

4. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to the support.

5. Loop one or more suitable safety cables around the support, around the fixture’s base, and through the fixture’s handles.

Linking the Fixtures

X.SpotXtreme fixtures can be linked to other fixtures on a standard DMX 512 link and then be controlled by the first fixture on the link or a DMX controller.

The number of fixtures on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required by all the fixtures. The standard configuration for an x.SpotXtreme fixture requires 38 channels on a DMX 512 link.

When connecting more than 32 fixtures to a link, use a DMX splitter. The 32 device limit complies with the EIA-485 standard. Connecting more than 32 devices per link without a DMX splitter will eventually deteriorate the digital signal.

Controllers, serial data distributors, data line optoisolators, and any fixtures using the RS-422 DMX standard of serial communications (including Dataflash

®

AF1000 xenon strobes, and Intellabeam

®

fixtures) block software uploads, crossloads, or

TalkBack™ protocol on a link. Therefore, make sure to either put all of these devices after the x.Spot®Xtreme fixture on the link, or bypass these devices when performing software uploads or crossloads.

Data Cabling and Connectors

To link one or more fixtures to a controller and/or to each other, obtain data cabling.

Cabling can be purchased from High End Systems (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-4) or constructed.

High End Systems recommends data-grade cable. Data-grade cable is designed to carry a high-quality signal with less susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.

DMX Data Cables

Use Belden

®

9842 or equivalent (meets specifications for EIA RS-485 applications) data cables with the following characteristics:

• Two twisted pairs (4-conductors) plus a shield

• Maximum capacitance between conductors: <15 pF/ft.

• Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft.

• Maximum resistance: 20 /1000 ft.

• Nominal impedance: 120

Cable Connectors

The x.SpotXtreme fixture accepts 5-pin XLR cable connectors. Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR connector on the other end.

Pin one is the common (cable shield), pin two is the data complement (negative), pin three is the data true (positive). Pins four and five are not used, but they allow a

secondary data link to pass through the fixture, (see Figure 2-4).

2-6 Setup and Configuration

x.Spot

® Xtreme User Manual

Test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verify correct polarity and to make sure that the negative and positive pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other.

Caution: Do not connect anything to the ground lug on the XLR connectors. Do not connect or allow contact between the common (cable shield) and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common could cause a ground loop and/or erratic behavior.

TalkBack™ Support for Remote Access

All x.SpotXtreme fixtures support TalkBack” technology. TalkBack™ technology is a new feature that allows remote access to the menu system built into High End

Systems fixtures. A DMX controller supporting TalkBack protocol like the

HandShake™ handheld controllers from High End Systems, can remotely access any option in the x.SpotXtreme onboard menu system.

TalkBack protocol uses the normal DMX-512 connection for bi-directional communication with the fixture so physical access to the fixture is no longer required to perform operations like changing a DMX address or configuring preset programs.

TalkBack protocol utilizes the primary DMX link (pins 2-3) in a half-duplex communication mode. This means that it does not require pins 4-5 to be connected or used to receive TalkBack messages coming from the fixture.

Display in Menu Locked Mode

The x.SpotXtreme display panel gives access to the fixture’s onboard Menu System.

When the Menu System is in locked mode, the panel displays in large 8-character words designed to be viewed from a distance. Under normal circumstances, when the display is locked, it cycles between displaying the fixture’s software version

[V##.##], the High End Systems logo, the x.Spot logo, the fixture’s configuration type [STANDARD] and the fixture’s DMX start channel [DMX_C###]. Any errors present are also displayed in an 8-character error description. Chapter 3 describes the menu system in detail.

Fixture Software Version

The software version loaded on the fixture can vary even between units purchased at

the same time. “Verifying and Uploading Fixture Software” on page 2-10 describes

the procedures to ensure that all x.SpotXtreme fixtures on the link are running the latest software.

Fixture Configuration Type

The configuration type indicates the fixture’s modular setup. The STANDARD configuration shown in the example above contains Six-Wheel Color Mixing in Slot

1, Dual Rotating Gobos in Slot 2 and Rotating Gobo and Iris in Slot 3. See Table 3-2 on page 3-20 for alternate 8-character configuration type descriptions.

DMX Start Channel

The DMX Start Channel is the first channel currently assigned to that fixture in its

DMX Address Menu is the first option on the top menu level.

Exiting the Menu System

To exit the menu system, keep pressing the Menu button to back out of each menu level until the High End Systems logo appears. The word AUTOLOCK will appear briefly on the display to indicate the fixture’s software is “locking” the display. The display switches back to the large 8-character format and, after a few seconds, begins the standard display for the locked mode as described above.

DMX Address Menu

DMX Address is the top level menu selection used to set the fixture’s DMX start channel. Use this menu option, to change the existing DMX start channel to another

DMX start channel.

Setting DMX Start Channel

To set the DMX start channel:

1. Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the top level menus. DMX ADDRESS MENU is the first menu item at the top level.

1. Press the Enter button to select. The display will show SET DMX START

CHANNEL:###. The display will show the start channel currently assigned to the fixture.

2. Use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to select a new DMX start channel from 001– 498. The display will flash a new option ready for selection.

Note: The last valid Start channel for an x.SpotXtreme fixture is based on the channel range required by fixture’s module configuration. The last valid start channel for a standard configuration x.SpotXtreme fixture is 475

(512–38+1).

3. Press the Enter button to accept the new DMX Start channel.

Note: If the Enter button is not pressed, the old value will remain selected after exiting the menu.

Determining DMX Start Channel Assignment

There are 512 available channels on each DMX link divided among all the devices in a particular link. A fixture must have a unique Start channel number in order to respond independently to controller commands.

To determine each fixture’s DMX start channel in a link, identify the channel range of every fixture on the link. Channel range is the number of consecutive channels a fixture requires. Each standard configuration x.SpotXtreme fixture requires a block of 38 consecutive channels on a 512-Channel DMX link. The Start channel is the first number a fixture’s channel range.

Customized x.SpotXtreme fixtures may have may require a different number of channels. Use that range in calculating the Start channels on the link for those fixtures. The following options in the Menu system assist in determining the configuration, number of channels and the next available start channel on the DMX link for a specific fixture.

The notes in Table 3-1 show the various considerations in determining valid Start

Channels for fixtures on a 512 DMX link. A single 512-Channel DMX link can accommodate up to thirteen 38-channel standard x.SpotXtreme fixtures.

When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:

• A fixture’s physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order

of channel range assignments in the link. See Row 2 in Table 3-1.

• The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link. When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those fixtures must be the same type (for example two x.SpotXtreme fixtures) and must share the entire channel range.

Onboard Presets Menu

The Presets menu provides many of the features of a DMX controller onboard the fixture. Presets give the user the capability of programming fixtures for stand-alone operation by creating, storing, sequencing, synchronizing and playing back scenes.

Onboard Presets also allows to viewing, programming and copying parameters between scenes on a single fixture or sending them to other fixtures.

For more information on DMX programming at the fixture level including looping

scenes and synchronizing playback, see “Show Creation with Onboard Preset Menu” on page 4-2.

Playback Mode Menu

This level 2 menu option turns preset playback off or on and displays the currently programmed sequence of scenes. Set the user mode to A or B through the FIXTURE

MODE MENU, to access this menu option for that user mode. For more information, see

“Select User Mode” on page 3-20.

When PLAYBACK MODE is ON, the fixture plays the currently programmed sequence up to 16 scenes in length (the maximum for each user mode) or until it reaches a

zeroed scene which indicates the end of a sequence.

The fixture ships with a factory programmed preset sequence that is the initial sequence for the PLAYBACK MODE. As scene values are edited, the default sequence is revised to include the new values for that scene.

To Playback a scene:

1. Press the Menu button to unlock the menu system or to move back up the system to the top level menus.

2. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll through the top level to ONBOARD PRESETS MENU and press the Enter button to select.

3. Using the left and right arrows on the Navigation button, scroll to PLAYBACK

MODE MENU. The current state (ON or OFF) will be displayed.

4. If OFF is displayed, use the up and down arrows on the Navigation button to scroll to ON. The fixture will begin playing the currently programmed sequence and press the Enter button to select.

Capture DMX to Scene

The CAPTURE DMX TO SCENE option works in conjunction with a DMX controller to automate the creation of scenes on multiple x-Spot fixtures connected to a DMX 512 link. Use the DMX controller to create a scene, then save (capture) the DMX values for that scene into a fixture’s presets.

Transferring the DMX values to the fixture’s onboard menu will allow playback without the controller or transfer to other x-Spot fixtures on the same DMX link, see

“Send Presets to Other Fixtures” on page 3-15.

When capturing a scene into a fixture’s presets, all parameter values must be constant (i.e., there cannot be any pan/tilt movement or scene-to-scene sequencing).

*Note:The fixture’s on-board scene memory must be used to manually select values for the Crossfade and Delay parameters, since a DMX controller will not transmit those parameter values.

This menu option can be accessed for either User A or User B. To change User mode,

see “Select User Mode” on page 3-20.

To CAPTURE DMX TO SCENE:

1. If the menu system is locked, press and hold down the Menu button until the extended 2-line display appears indicating the top menu level.

Chapter 4:

DMX Programming

Overview

A Parameter (construct) is a fixture attribute that can be controlled to modify the light beam in terms of color, beam quality and pattern, intensity, or focus (position).

To program fixtures, DMX values are assigned to each of the fixture’s parameters according to that fixtures DMX protocol. A scene (sometimes referred to as a cue or

look depending on the controller used) is one set of attribute options. Combining scenes into sequences, assigning times and synchronizing fixtures on a link are the basics of show creation.

This chapter discusses the DMX programming options and describes the parameters in the x.SpotXtremeDMX protocol. For a complete table of DMX values for the

x.SpotXtreme protocol, see “Appendix A: DMX Protocol” .

x.SpotXtreme DMX Protocol

X.SpotXtreme fixture design allows for multiple configurations. Channels control the general fixture operation and are basic to all configurations. In a standard configuration, Slot 1 holds a Six-Wheel Color Mix Module, Slot 2 has a Dual Rotating

Gobos Module and a Rotating Gobo and Iris module is in Slot 3.

Two protocol levels are available for x.Spot fixtures. Standard Protocol utilizes 38

DMX channels to control a fixture with a standard module configuration. By reducing and combining some of the functionalty, the reduced protocol can control the x.Spot fixture with 28 channels.

Table 4-1, “Protocol Options,” on page 4-2 show the parameters for each protocol version.

Iris x.Spot®Xtreme fixtures can be programmed to create and play back scenes with either a DMX-compatible controller or, at the fixture level, with the Onboard Menu

System’s Preset menu, see “Onboard Presets Menu” on page 3-8. However, a DMX

compatible controller and the fixture’s on-board menu system cannot be used at the same time. In other words, a scene cannot be created using the on-board memory and played back using a controller. Also, a controller cannot be used at the same time on-board scenes are playing.

4-2 DMX Programming

x.Spot

®

Xtreme User Manual

Note: Because controllers cannot transmit crossfade or delay construct values, use preset programming in the onboard menu system to manually set those construct values at the fixture.

Show Creation with a DMX Controller

Using a DMX controller, an operator can program an unlimited number of sequences

(combinations of scenes) and retain direct control over the x.SpotXtreme fixture at all times. The technique of programming a fixtures using a controller and then capturing the scene(s) to the on-board memory of multiple x.SpotXtreme fixtures can

save time. For more information, see “Capture DMX to Scene” on page 3-14.

The HOG III

®

Lighting Console, and the HandShake™ handheld controller are the

DMX controllers available from High End Systems to control x.SpotXtreme fixtures

(see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-4). For more information on whether a DMX

controller supports x.SpotXtreme fixtures, contact the controller’s vendor. For more information on operating the fixture with a controller (or control device such as DMX control software), consult the documentation provided with the controller.

Show Creation with Onboard Preset Menu

Fixture level DMX programming is executed in the Preset portion of fixture’s

Onboard Menu system. To create scenes, modify the default scenes in the fixture

memory, see “Edit Scene ## Menu” on page 3-8. Add timing to scenes, see page 3-11.

Then combine the scenes into loops.

Creating a Loop

A loop is a series of programmed scenes that continuously plays in sequential order.

To create a loop, first create two or more contiguous scenes (see “Edit Scene ##

Menu” on page 3-8). After creating scenes, go to the next available scene and choose

the ZERO SCENE menu option to erase any programmed parameter values and mark

the end of the loop, see “Zero Scene” on page 3-13.

Note: If all 16 available on-board scenes in a User Mode are included in a loop, the end of the loop does not need to be marked. When preset playback is set on, the fixture will automatically loop after playing back all programmed scenes.

Playing Back a Loop

To play back a loop, set preset playback ON for each fixture, see “Playback Mode

Menu” on page 3-8. When preset playback is on, the fixture automatically begins

playing back the first scene and continues through the loop.

Note: Program Scene 1 to enable preset playback.

If power is removed during playback, and then reapplied, the fixture will home and begin playback at the first scene. To stop playback, manually set playback mode to

OFF, see “Playback Mode Menu” on page 3-8.

HX, HXi, or FX fixtures in the link can be synchronized.

Note: Synchronizing preset playback is applicable for fixtures operating in standalone mode only. Do not include a DMX controller in the link while synchronizing preset scene playback.

The fixture assigned DMX Start Channel 1 becomes the master fixture.

Synchronizing playback sets all applicable fixtures to a “master clock” so that all fixtures have a definite, synchronized starting point when playing back their sequences (or loops). The master fixture determines the sequence length for all the other fixtures in the link (slave fixtures), regardless of the number of programmed scenes or the sequence length of the individual slave fixtures.

When the master fixture reaches the end of its last scene, all fixtures will restart at scene 1 (regardless of whether the slave fixtures have finished playing their scenes) and all the “clocks” will be reset to zero. For example, if a slave fixture has a shorter sequence length, it continuously repeats its sequence until the master fixture resets

all the clocks (see Figure 4-1). If a slave fixture has a longer sequence length, it

restarts at scene 1 before completing its entire sequence.

To enable synchronized playback:

1. Link the fixtures for synchronization (see “Linking the Fixtures” on page 2-6).

2. Terminate both the first and the last fixtures in the link and remove all DMX controllers from the link.

3. Make one fixture the master fixture by assigning it DMX Start Channel 1 or

Fixture Number 1 (see “Setting DMX Start Channel” on page 3-6). Make sure no

other fixture on the link is assigned DMX start channel 1 or Fixture Number 1.

4. Set preset playback ON for all fixtures on the link, see “Playback Mode Menu” on page 3-8.

DMX Parameter Descriptions

The following sections describe the Parameters for the modules in a standard configuration x.SpotXtreme fixture. All DMX values indicated in the detailed parameter descriptions are in decimal units.

Basic Fixture Parameters

Pan and Tilt

Channels 1– 4 control the Pan and Tilt parameters. The x.SpotXtreme fixture has a

630° pan range and a 240° tilt range. DMX channels 1 and 3 allow coarse adjustment within 1–2 degrees of the desired pan and tilt position. DMX channels 2 and 4 allow fine adjustment to a fraction of a degree of the desired pan and tilt position.

MSpeed values control the pan and tilt motion for x.SpotXtreme fixtures by default,

see “MSpeed (Motor Speed)” on page 4-9. To control the Pan and Tilt parameters

with DMX controller crossfading, set Pan/Tilt MSpeed off in the Control parameter

(see Table 4-4, “Control Setting Descriptions,” on page 4-10 and “Appendix A: DMX

Protocol” ).

Note: Optical encoders for pan and tilt instantly correct the fixture’s position if the fixture is jarred from its programmed position. If a physical obstruction prevents the fixture from correcting its position, the fixture “times out” to prevent wear on the motors. If the fixture has timed out, remove the obstruction and home the fixture to return it to normal operation.

Lamp Function

The Lamp Function parameter (Channel 5) modifies the Shutter (Channel 6) and Dim

(Channel 6) functions to enhance and expand the range of effects available on the x.SpotXtreme fixture including Light Burst™ effects, lightning strikes and Electronic

Dimming™ effects.

The Light Burst™ effect boosts the Lamp above the rated wattage for the specified period of time. Boosting to white ends with the shutter open; boosting to black closes the shutter. Boosting is also used to created Lightning effects with the Dim channel

scaling the overall brightness. Table 4-2 describes the interaction between the Lamp

Control and Shutter Parameters.

The x.SpotXtreme fixture supports Electronic Dimming™ effects as well as mechanical dimming and a combination of both. Electronic Dimming™ effect works by lowering the lamp power below rated wattage. Electronic Dimming alone will not go to black.

* Before another Boost or Lightning effect can occur, the Shutter channel must be moved to either closed or open, or the Lamp Function channel must be moved outside the Lamp Effects range.

Dim

The Dim parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 7. The Dim parameter provides full mechanical dimming capability without changing the color temperature or the beam shape. The dim values range from closed (DMX value of 0) to fully open (DMX

value of 255). The Lamp Function channel, (see page 4-5), can be set to control

whether the Dimming is accomplished by lower lamp power (electronic), closing the

shutter (mechanical) or both (dual dimming). Table 4-2 describes the interaction

between the Lamp Function, Shutter and Dim Channels.

Focus Control and Focus

Focus Control (Channel 9) sets the Focus to manual focus or the ZoomTrack™ lens system. With the ZoomTrack lens system on, the image automatically maintains focus as the zoom changes. Varying the Focus parameter while ZoomTrack lens system is activated will establish a new focus set point.

The variable Focus parameter (Channel 10) moves elements inside the fixture to focus on a close image (DMX value of 0) or on an image farther away (DMX value of

255).

Note: Adjusting the focus on x.SpotXtreme fixtures to focus on the iris, a gobo wheel or the effects wheel creates different patterns and/or effects.

Zoom

Channel 11 controls the Zoom parameter. The Zoom values range from 11° at a

DMX value of 0 to 45° at a DMX value of 255.

MSpeed (Motor Speed)

The MSpeed parameter is controlled with DMX Channel 12. MSpeed is the time required for a motor to complete movement when changing from one position to another. MSpeed provides a means for all motors to reach their target position at the same time, even though each motor may have different distances to travel. MSpeed movement is extremely smooth because the fixture controls movements independent of DMX refresh rates.

MSpeed times vary from 0.15 seconds to 252.7 seconds. However, when MSpeed is applied to a parameter, the delay value (length of time allowed for the entire scene) needs to be longer than the MSpeed value to allow the motors to complete their movement before the end of the scene. An MSpeed value that is longer than the delay value could produce an undesirable result; for example, no light output during the

scene. For a listing of exact MSpeed times, see “Appendix B: MSpeed Conversion

Table” .

By default, MSpeed is applied to Pan and Tilt positioning. Disable MSpeed for pan

and tilt with the Control parameter , see Table 4-4 on page 4-10 and “Appendix A:

DMX Protocol” . MSpeed times can also be applied to the following parameters:

• Color Function

• Gobo 2 Function

• Gobo 1 Function

• Effects Function

Macro

Channel 13 controls the Macro parameter. Internal Effects™ macros are factoryprogrammed sequences which allow complicated looks in one scene. Each Internal

Effects™ macro modifies a specific set of parameters, while allowing user control of all other parameters in the scene. The four Internal Effects macros available on a standard configuration x.SpotXtreme fixture are Pan Sweep, Tilt Sweep, Clockwise

Circle and Counterclockwise Circle.

The value set in the macro channel determines the size of each of the movements.

The MSpeed channel determines the speed. With the MSpeed set between DMX 5-

255 all internal effects complete movement at the selected MSpeed time (up to 25 seconds). An MSpeed DMX value less than 4 uses the default time of 2.5 seconds to provide a pleasing look when the additional variation given by using the MSpeed channel is not required.

Replacing the Lamp

Warnings: Disconnect power before re-lamping or servicing.

An operating, unshielded MSR lamp emits ultraviolet and visible

(UV-vis) radiation which could damage eyes and skin. Whenever working on or near an exposed lamp, wear protective eye gear.

Never look directly at the lamp while the lamp is on.

Hot lamp may be an explosion hazard. Do not open for five minutes after switching off. Wear eye and hand protection when re-lamping.

Equipment surfaces may reach temperatures up to 130° C (266° F).

Allow the fixture to cool before handling.

Caution: This equipment is designed for use with a Philips® MSR 700SA

700Watt, metal halide lamp only. Use of any other type lamp may be hazardous and may void the warranty.

To install/replace the lamp:

1. Disconnect power to the fixture. If the fixture has been operating, wait for the lamp to cool before handling.

2. Put on protective eyewear and gloves.

Refer to Figure 5-3 for Steps 3–8.

3. Using a wide tip, flat head screwdriver, loosen (but do not remove) the two lamp assembly screws (A).

4. Pull the lamp assembly straight out of the fixture (B).

The lamp assembly is connected to the fixture by lamp socket wires (C). Support the lamp assembly while replacing the lamp. Do not allow the lamp socket wires

to support the weight of the lamp assembly.

5. Holding the existing lamp by its ceramic base, carefully pull the lamp straight out of the lamp socket (D).

Caution: Do not squeeze the lamp glass while removing the existing lamp from the socket. Lamp glass may shatter.

6. Remove all packaging materials from the new lamp. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base, gently press the two base pins into the lamp socket until the lamp is firmly seated.

Caution: When handling the new lamp, avoid contact with the lamp glass.

If the lamp glass is soiled by oil or dirt from skin, gloves, etc., clean the cold lamp glass with an alcohol wipe. A soiled lamp could overheat and burst, causing damage to the fixture.

7. Reinsert the lamp assembly straight into the fixture.

Caution: Make sure the lamp socket wires are not wrapped around the lamp or crimped while reinserting the lamp assembly.

8. Tighten the lamp assembly screws (A).

9. Reset the lamp hours to zero to track the lamp life, (see “Lamp HR/Strike Reset” on page 3-27).

10. Optimize the new lamp.

Optimizing the Lamp

Optimize the lamp after replacement, or if there is a “hot spot” of brightness anywhere other than the center of the light beam.

To complete the optimization procedure below, use either the fixture’s on-board

menu system (see “Chapter 3: Fixture Operation” and “x.Spot®Xtreme Menu Map” )

or a DMX controller (see “Chapter 4: DMX Programming” and “Appendix A: DMX

Protocol” ).

1. Orient the fixture so that the beam will project onto a flat, white surface at least

10 feet (3 m) away.

2. Turn the lamp on. Ensure the light beam is round and not oval. If necessary, adjust the pan and tilt construct values until the beam is round.

3. For x.SpotXtreme fixtures, adjust the focus until the edge of the light beam is sharp.

4. Set the DIM (intensity) channel at full (DMX value of 255).

5. Set diffusion filters. DMX channel 21 (CTB) = 43. DMX channel 22 (CTO)= 0.

6. Locate the three lamp optimization screws (x, y, and z) shown in Figure 5-4.

7. Look at the wall where the beam is projected and use the optimization screws to adjust the lamp’s position within the fixture until the “hotspot” of brightness is at the center of the beam and diffused. The x and y screws move the hotspot. The center z screw adjusts beam flatness.

Spring

Tip

4. Place the new lithopattern or effect into the aperture.

Install lithopatterns with the coated side away from the lamp. Install effect glass with the smooth side toward the lamp.

To determine which side of the litho is coated, place the tip of a pen against each side of the litho and view it from a slight angle. On the coated side, the tip of the pen appears to touch its reflection. On the uncoated side, there appears to be a gap between the pen and its reflection

Note: To create a moire effect in position 3 or 7 of Gobo 1, install the rotating and static lithos with the coated sides together. In this case, the rotating lithopattern would be the opposite of the other lithos in the wheel.

5. Replace the spring.

6. After replacing the lithopattern or effects glass, clean it by using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and a mild glass cleaning solution (containing no ammonia).

Replace the bezel (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-1).

MSpeed Conversion Table

The following table lists the MSpeed (motor) movement times and their corresponding

DMX controller values. If you have a numeric-type controller, use the Value Decimal

(dec.) column. If you have a fader-type controller, use the Value Percentage (%) column.

If your controller allows you to program hex values, use the Value (hex) column.
