Using the Eclipse IT Iris Dowser
Operating Modes
The Eclipse has several modes of operation. In all cases, the PS Power Supply is needed
for control and power. Please refer to the Menu Details below for information on how to
select DMX, Local, Snap, Fast, or Smooth mode.
DMX512 Control
The level (0-100%) of the DMX channel to which the dowser is addressed
determines the fin position. The fins are closed at 0% and open at 100%.
Local Wired Pendant Control
A handheld pendant can be attached via a 3-pin XLR cable to manually open and
close the fins. Movement from fully open to fully closed or vice-versa takes two
seconds – this allows for precise fin positioning. Press the " + " button to open the
fins and the " - " button to close them. The wired pendant cable can be up to 1,000
feet long.
Self Test/Demo Mode
The dowser unit can be controlled by the menu buttons on the dowser unit. Please refer to
the Menu Details below, under Self Test (Demo) for details.
Signal and Power
The Eclipse uses a PS Power Supply with Coloram IT cables for DMX signal, RDM
communication and 24VDC power. The dowser can be daisy-chained with Coloram IT and
CXI IT color changers and Eclipse IT Shutter dowsers. Fin position is determined by the
DMX level (0-100%) of the control channel to which the dowser is addressed. The dowser
uses one DMX channel.
Fan Speed Control
The small fan in the Eclipse cools the electronics enclosure, therefore it always runs at full
speed and CANNOT be slowed or stopped.
