Smart Move Vertical Troubleshooting

•  Unit does not move gobo.

 

 

Check 110 volt outlet by plugging in a known working lighting fixture.

 

 

If fixture operates, plug Smart Move power supply in and check for   

 

   

24 volts DC between the tip and ring of the ¼

 power plug.

 

 

If 24 volts is present, check to see if the address switches are    

             

   

set to 01 through 17.  Address 00 is not a valid setting.

 

 

Smart Moves set at the slowest speed may appear to be not working.    

 

   

Rotate speed knob to highest setting.

 

 

If  the  motor  is  running  but  there  is  no  vertical  movement  check   

              

             the set screw on the drive arm.  If loose, tighten.

•  Unit is noisy.

 

 

It is normal for a Smart Move Vertical to produce minimal noise when  

 

   

brand new.  After heating up once in a lit fixture, the Teflon 

   components 

set

.  All units operate quietly after this initial heat cycle.

 

 

Smart  Move  Verticals  have  been  designed  and  tested  for  long     

             

   

periods of normal operation.  In some extreme cases, the 

   

Teflon bushing will wear.  Teflon bushings and spacer strips      

 

   

are available in the Smart Move Vertical maintenance kit.

 DMX

•  Unit does not move gobo.

 

 

Check 24 volt DC power source.  If any other Smart Move DMX or

   

Smart Color DMX products are available, plug them into the power      

 

   

supply to confirm 24 volts DC.  If no other units are avail able check  

 

   

for 24 volts DC between pin 2 and pin 3 on the 4 pin XLR cable.

 

 

If 24 volts is present, check to see if the address switches are set   

 

   

to 001 through 512.  Address 000 is not a valid setting.

 

 

Smart Moves set at the slowest speed may appear to be not   

 

 

   

working.  Rotate speed knob to highest setting.

 

 

Set address switches to 

701

. This setting will operate the  

 

 

   

Vertical in stand alone mode in effect 01.

 

 

If unit operates in stand alone mode but not in DMX control mode    

 

   

verify that the unit is not in the indexing or effects mode. The Smart    

 

   

Move Vertical DMX requires three DMX channels. Make sure that the   

 

   

second and third channels are receiving 0% output.

 

 

If the motor is running but there is no vertical movement check the  

 

   

set screw on the drive arm.  If loose, tighten.

•  Unit is noisy.

 

 

It is normal for a Smart Move Vertical to produce minimal noise  

 

   

when brand new.  After heating up once in a lit fixture, the Teflon    

 

   components

periods of normal operation.  In some extreme cases, the Teflon    

 

   

bushing will wear.  Teflon bushings and spacer strips are avail
