troubleshooting for an entire rig can be coordinated from a single laptop.
Wybron's IT equipment (Coloram IT, CXI IT, Eclipse IT, and Eclipse II IT) is equipped
with a series of sensors that can relay a wealth of information to InfoGate. These
sensors can detect everything from light, voltage, current, to fan speed and even
gelstring frame color information.
So while RDM equipment will allow identification and remote addressing, IT equipment
can give more specific status information and warn of potential problems, possibly
averting failures in the middle of a show. If the status of a device indicates any problem,
InfoGate displays an alert with the nature of the problem and the exact location.
Troubleshooting is now done in a fraction of the time.
InfoTrace provides the ability to:
• Automate the setup of DMX addresses – no more manual setting of DIP switches
• Proactively check the condition of equipment before, during and after a show
• Track lamp duty cycles to predict lamp failures before they happen
• Predict maintenance on equipment
• Predict gel replacement prior to degradation
Sensors
Coloram IT, CXI IT, Eclipse IT and Eclipse II IT:
• Aperture Light Sensor: Detects if the fixture's lamp is on.
• Voltage Sensor: Reports the head voltage level.
• Pass Through Current Sensor: Measures the amount of current that passes through the
XLR connector wiring harness; assists in automatically setting up the rig in
conjunction with InfoGate.
• Unit Current Sensor: Measures the amount of current that a unit is consuming, which
can be an indicator of motor health.
• Timers: Keep track of how many hours the unit has been in operation in it’s lifetime and
also since its last maintenance cycle.
• Fan RPM Sensor: RPM sensor on fan.
• Self Test Mode: Moves the gelstring without a DMX input command.
• Reverse Polarity Protection: Auto shutdown if scroller is plugged into a Coloram II
power supply.
