Transporting
Pack Up Cue
When shipping or transporting a VL500 wash luminaire, certain settings should be used to minimize
the possibility of damaging internal components. Because of the complexity and delicate nature of the
64 panes of dichroic glass filters used in the VL500 wash luminaire, extra care should be observed to
minimize damage.
As a precaution, Vari-Lite recommends the following settings as a "Pack-Up" cue before putting the
luminaires in their flight cases and/or shipping boxes.
•
The Pan should be set to 50% or a DMX value of 128.
• The Tilt should be set to 50% or a DMX value of 128.
• All Colors and Diffuser Glass should be set to 100% or a DMX value of 255.
• On Arc units, Dimmer Panels should be set to 0% or a DMX value of 0.
WARNING: The Pan and Tilt service locks should not be engaged while shipping. These locks are
for service only and are not designed to be engaged during transport.
WARNING: As with all automated luminaires, proper handling and suitable protective shipping cases
should be used when transporting fixtures to reduce the risk of damage. For more information, please
refer to Vari-Lite technical notice (TN-235) "Transportation and Shipping Case Requirements" in the
"Support" section on the Vari-Lite web site.
