11. Move the scroll back  to the full point by setting the Mode to D and controlling

the speed on the Frames switch.

12. Use the  Range Trim potentiometer to accurately set the end position of the

scroll. This position is correct when the final seam is aligned with the  outer

edge of the Rainbow.

13. Set the Mode/Frames switch on the PlusCard to the required setting

The scroll is now correctly installed  with a scroll and trimmed. From experience,

we suggest that you:

i

Run the colour changers end to end a few times. This allows the filter to find

its natural position on the spindle. It will also show any noise problems due to

badly made scrolls;

ii

Where many units are to run together, run the colour changers to 95% and

confirm alignment of all units. Retrim where necessary ;

iii

Check the scroll tension at 50% control input; (Mode=E, Addr.=050).
