Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, motorized wash luminaire. The head, yoke
and enclosure housings are constructed of aluminum alloy, plastic and steel for lightweight strength
and durability. Virtually silent fans provide forced-air cooling for internal components.
The rear cap is removable, providing easy access to the lamp for replacement.
A single AC input cable 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 270°
in the vertical plane (tilt). The pan and tilt mechanisms are belt-driven, providing
positional resolution and repeatability of 0.3° on either axis.
A CYM color mixing system using three color wheels is provided for a broad range of user color selec-
tion. The color system is capable of color changes in less than 0.6 seconds. In addition to the CYM
system, a fixed color wheel with 11 discrete colors is included for specific color requirements
and snap color changes in .14 seconds.
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. The unit is equipped with a zoomable beam
spreader that allows continuous field angle changes from 14° to 55.5° in less than 1.8 seconds.
The unit is ETL and ETLc certified and CE-marked. Exterior finish is black.
