Modes Of Operation

Stand Alone

The Smart Move

® 

Vertical can operate in stand alone mode or can 

be controlled by a lighting console using DMX 512. 

For simple operation without DMX control, set the rotary 

switches to 701, and then adjust the speed by turning the black 

speed control knob clockwise for faster movement or counter-

clockwise for slower movement.  To access the remaining 16 

preprogrammed effects, simply set the first rotary switch at 7 and 

the remaining two rotary switches to correspond to the effects 

listed on the back of the unit.

DMX Control

The Smart Move

® 

Vertical DMX

 

allows three modes of operation 

and requires 3 channels of DMX when used with a lighting desk.

Vertical Mode

This mode moves the gobo in a continuous cycle from .25 to 60 

strokes per minute.  In this mode of operation, set:
 

DMX channel 3 at 0

 

DMX channel 2 at 0
DMX channel 1 at 1-100% to set speed

Indexing Mode

This mode allows the user to position the gobo at any of the 200 

positions in the stroke.  In this mode of operation, set:
 

DMX Channel 3 at 0

 

DMX Channel 2 at 1-100% to set speed

 

DMX Channel 1 at 1-100% to set position

Gobo Installation

The Apollo gobos are held in place 
with two Phillips head screws for ease 
of use.  Begin installation by sliding 
the gobo into the slots found at the 
base of the Smart Move® Vertical. 
For correct projection of image, install 
the gobo with image upside down 
facing the housing as shown above.  

Continue sliding the gobo into the 
Smart Move® Vertical until the holes 
in the gobo line up with the screw 
holes on the gobo carrier plate. 
Screw two Phillips head screws 
until tight. Do not Over tighten!

Your Smart Move® Vertical is now 
ready for use.

 Vertical DMX fit in the 

iris slot of the Altman Shakespeare 
and ETC Source Four Ellipsoidal 
lighting fixtures. Both units come 
with a load rated safety ring in the 
upper corner. It is recommended 
that an industry approved safety 
cable be attached to this ring and 
to a fixed object nearby such as 
a truss, house pipe or catwalk.
