P18 Wash
CAMERA MODE
To avoid flickering during TV recordings, the P18 Wash can be adjusted from 50 Hertz (PAL,
Secam) to 60 Hertz (NTSC) for different camera systems. Flex mode is set when using different
camera systems or when shooting with mobile phone cameras or similar non-professional
cameras. A HighFlex mode is also available. In this mode, the repetition frequencies are set
to 3 kHz, which is necessary to ensure smooth movements in dimmed lighting scenes. The
factory setting of the P18 Wash is 60 Hertz. The changeover is also possible with the light mixing
console via the control channel.
COOLING MODE
In the COOLING MODE menu item you can set the fan control, the speed of the effects and
the brightness of the P18 Wash. The following settings are available.
THEATRE WHISPER: Brightness 27000lm, all effect/pan/tilt speeds are minimal and therefore
run very quietly (volume 29dB(a)). In this mode, the spotlight runs at the same brightness up to
an ambient temperature of 60°C. It is not necessary to run the fans in this mode.
THEATRE SILENT: Brightness 29000lm, all effect/pan/tilt speeds are somewhat minimised com-
pared to the standard mode, from 40°C ambient temperature the spotlight regulates the LED
power slightly downwards and thus remains at the same volume up to 60°C.
STANDARD: Brightness 32000lm, all effect/pan/tilt speeds run at full speed. From an ambient
temperature of approx. 36°C the fans run to cool the LED accordingly. The brightness remains
constant up to 60° ambient temperature.
BOOST: Brightness 34000lm, all effect/pan/tilt speeds run at full speed. The fans run a little
stronger in this mode, from approx. 40° ambient temperature the fans run again accordingly.
LONGLIFE: Brightness 32000lm, all effect/pan/tilt speeds run at full speed. The fans run a little
stronger in this mode, from approx. 40° ambient temperature the fans run again accordingly. We
would recommend this mode for permanent installations, as the LED module runs cooler and
thus more “stress-free”.
There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the P18 Wash has a temperature safe-
ty shutdown. In addition, the LED module is switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C!
CURVES
The dimmer curve can be changed from exponential (square) to linear. The “exponential” dimmer
curve (factory setting) causes the dimmer to fade in and out more smoothly.
SHORTEST DISTANCE
This menu item addresses both the colour wheel channel and the gobo wheel channels. In the
factory setting (ON), the colours/gobos change with each other over the shortest distance.
Switching to OFF causes the colour/gobo to change only in the order specified by the wheels.
