Introduction
The Forerunner system is a scrolling color changer, available in 4-inch and
7-inch models, and a power supply offering ease of setup and use. Its 16-color capacity
and DMX compatibility affords the designer economy and versatility, particularly when
budget and space are limited. The lightweight color changers slide easily into the gel
frame holder of the light fixture and the compact PS Power Supply attaches easily to the
truss of the lighting rig.
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for preparation, setup and operation of the
Forerunner Color Changer.
The Forerunner System
The Forerunner System consists of one or more color changers and a remote power
supply which can power up to 64 color changers. The DMX512 control signal from the
lighting board is connected to the power supply and can continue onto more PS Power
Supplies or other DMX-controlled devices. The power supply sends both power and
control signal on a single cable eliminating the need for a separate power cable for each
color changer.
Caution: The Forerunner System is not compatible with the Coloram II/RAM
System. Do not connect Coloram II Color Changers to PS Power Supplies, or
Forerunner Color Changers to Coloram II (RAM) Power Supplies. Damage from
such action will not be covered by the Forerunner or Coloram II warranties.
