FAN SPEED AND CONTROL
All Vari-lite luminaires will be governed by the same Fan speed v Noise levels v
Maximum power output rules as details below. These noises related to these levels will
confi rm to Noise Criteria levels details of which are contained within the document.
There are 3 control parameters can be selected separately or in conjunction when
permitted to manage Fan speed v Noise levels v Maximum power output.
NOTE: Not all fi xture have all modes or functions refer to DMX map and User interface
menu tree to see if you product has one of more of these functions.
tem 1 - Fan ‘v’ Output Preset Modes
These modes are selectable at either / or the fi xtures DMX control channel or via the
fi xture user interface screen. The section of the modes works in conjunction with Items
3 and will also active or deactivate the Item 2.
Boost mode – LED output boosted to >120% of standard output fan speeds increased
manage heat level of LED (may be limited to only run for XXhrs). Fixture will not
exceed NC45 – NC55 sound levels in this mode
Standard mode - Full LED Fan Spin at top speed (loudest setting). Fixture
will not exceed NC40 sound levels in this mode
Studio Mode - Fan speed reduced to appropriate amount to reduce dB levels >10% of
full speed + LED @ max output approximately 80% of Standard output at appropriate
level to ensure LED work at optimum temperature and output effi ciency (fan speed
remains at a constant speed and do not ramp up or down) NC35
Whisper mode - Fan speed reduced to appropriate amount to reduce dB levels to
>30% of the full speed + LED Max output approximately 60% of Standard output at
appropriate level to ensure LED work at optimum temperature and output effi ciency
(Fan speed remains at a constant speed and do not ramp up or down) NC25
Silent Mode – ideally Fans do not spin + output capped at appropriate level to ensure
LED work at optimum temperature and output effi ciency (Fan should never switch on
in this mode or change speed if they on) NC15 target level.
