Powering Up
Power-Up Procedure
All Models
Since Lamp On is the default state, the lamp will come on (tungsten models) or strike (arc models)
when the luminaire is powered up for the first time. When AC power is applied, the luminaire will
immediately begin a calibration sequence that steps it through full pan and tilt movements. The
internal color and beam 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 enclosure) or move to
its current DMX-defined position if DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their
"home" or DMX-defined positions.
Arc Models Only
Subsequently, depending on the luminaire’s setting for Lamp Power-Up State (refer to
“Menu
Operation” on page 42
), when power is applied, the arc 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.
CAUTION:
Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and
yoke can move freely without restriction.
To power up:
Step 1. At each luminaire, apply power connecting the power cable to the unit. Luminaire will
automatically step through following procedure:
a. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Lamp On, lamp will come on (tungsten models only).
b. Luminaire will cycle through calibration and stop at "home" position (only if DMX is
not present).
c. For arc models only, if Lamp Power-Up State is set to Cal On, lamp will strike (ignite) at
end of calibration sequence.
