Specifications

The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, 
motorized spot luminaire. The head, yoke, and enclosure 
housings are constructed of aluminum alloy, plastic and steel 
for lightweight strength and durability.  Virtually silent, variable 
fans shall be used to provide forced-air cooling for internal 
components.

The rear cap is removable, providing easy access to the lamp 
for replacement.  A single AC input connector along with two, 
five-pin DMX512 compatible connectors (in and through) are 
provided.  The unit can be controlled by a wide variety of 
DMX512 consoles.  In addition, a built-in Master/Slave 
function enables operation of multiple luminaires without a 
control console.

Each unit is equipped with multiple on-board processors 
providing diagnostic and self-calibration functions as well as 
internal test routines and software update capabilities.  The 
unit contains two independent three-phase stepper motors to 
provide movement of the head through 540° in the horizontal 
plane (pan) and 260° in the vertical plane (tilt).  The pan and 
tilt mechanisms are belt-driven, providing positional resolution 
and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis. Unit shall have integral 
pan and tilt transport/service locks.

The unit shall include a CYM color-mixing system using three 
wheels which are provided for a broad range of user color 
selection.  In addition to the CYM system, a fixed color wheel 
with eight interchangeable colors is included for specific color 
requirements and snap color changes in .14 seconds.  The 
unit comes equipped with a standard palette of dichroic color 
filters (custom colors are available from Vari-Lite). 

The unit shall include a fixed gobo wheel that holds 10 
interchangeable gobos. The unit shall include a second gobo 
wheel containing seven individually rotating indexable gobos.  
Its operation is achieved by two motors, which provide 
independent drive regardless of the direction of movement.  
All seven rotating gobos are easily interchangeable to allow 
further customization of the unit. The unit shall come equipped 
with 17 standard glass gobo patterns and effects.  A wide 
selection of gobos are available from Vari-Lite for an additional 
charge.

The unit contains a coated glass dimmer wheel that provides 
full field dimming and allows for both smooth timed fades and 
fast blackouts.  A high-performance, dual blade strobe system 
is operated with two motors and is capable of various strobe 
effects.  A mechanical iris provides continuous beam size 
control for both rapid changes and smooth timed beam angle 
changes.  Variable beam focus is provided to soften the edges 
of gobos or spots and to provide gobo morphing.  A powerful 
zoom lens system offers an adjustable field angle from 15° to 
36°.  When used in combination with the beam size iris, the 
unit can project a beam with a field angle of 8°.

The unit shall offer frost capability with an independent, 
drop-in armature that holds frost glass.  Additionally, unit shall 
have a second, independent, drop-in armature that holds a 
rotating, four facet, indexable prism.  Both the frost and prism 
pieces shall be interchangeable. Unit shall have frontal 
accessory mounting points for attachment of after-market 
accessories such as top hats.

The unit is ETL and ETLc certified and CE marked.  Exterior 
finish is black.
