Specifications
The unit is an integrally designed, remote-controlled, motorized wash
luminaire. The head, yoke and enclosure housings are constructed of
aluminum alloy for light weight, strength and durability. Low-noise fans
provide forced-air cooling for internal components. The rear cap is
hinged, providing easy access to the lamp for replacement.
A single AC input cable along with two, five-pin DMX-512 compatible
connectors (in and through) are provided. The unit can be controlled
from a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles.
Each unit is equipped with an on-board processor 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 zoomable beam spreader mechanism provides continuous beam size control
for rapid changes and smooth timed zoom changes from 2.7:1 with the fresnel
internal lens, and from 4:1 with the buxom internal lens.
Beam shall also be controlled with one of four interchangeable front lenses –
three of which shall be provided as standard equipment. Each front lens comes
with mounting points to allow attachment of aftermarket hardware – provided by
others. Additional beam manipulation shall be achieved by an aperture wheel with
separate openings of different diameters and capable of continuous rotation.
The unit contains a CYM color mixing system, as well as variable CTO color
temperature correction. Two color wheels capable of continuously spinning are
also included. Each of the two wheels holds five interchangeable dichroic
colors to allow for custom configurations. The unit comes equipped with a
standard palette of dichroic color filters.
