Powering Up
Power-Up and Configuration Overview
First Power-Up
When powering up a VL1100CD ERS Luminaire for the first time, the lamp type and shutter settings
must be configured. This procedure will usually happen prior to delivery. However, in the event that it
has not been done or if the Main Controller Board has been replaced, it will be necessary. Follow one
of these two power-up procedures depending on whether the luminaire requires configuration:
•
Already configured -
“Standard Power Up Procedure” on page 21
.
•
Not configured -
“Power Up and Configuration Procedure” on page 22
.
Calibration Sequence
After AC power is applied, the luminaire will start powering up (this will take 10-15 seconds) and then
begin a calibration sequence that steps it through full pan and tilt movements. The internal mechanisms
will also move through a full range of motion. After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at
its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with
the lens pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or move to its current defined position if
DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their "home" or defined positions.
Depending on the luminaire’s setting for Lamp Power-Up State (refer to
“Menu System Function
Chart” on page 49
), when power is applied the lamp will either
a)
“strike” or ignite - Lamp On
(
default)
,
b)
await calibration and then strike - Cal On, or
c)
await manual command to strike - Lamp
Off.
Importance of Correct Configuration
The configuration settings MUST be correct or the luminaire will not operate properly. The
configuration settings specify whether or not the luminaire contains a shutter system or beam-size iris,
which will then affect the DMX mapping of the luminaire. For example, choosing the shutter option
will configure the luminaire for 27 DMX channels, while not choosing the shutter option will
configure it for 19 DMX channels. When the luminaire is configured as having no shutter, the option
for the beam-size iris becomes available. Refer to
“Channel Mapping” on page 26
for more detailed
information on this subject.
