System introduction
Controlling the Rainbow scrollers
The Rainbow scrollers are controlled with a 0-10V Analog signal or a DMX512 digital
signal. DMX signal can only be used if the DMX option card has been fitted. The DMX
option card can be fitted at any time by your local dealer, and will still allow Analog
operation. The Analog and the Digital systems are treated seperately in this manual. There
are great advantages in using a digital system. The units can be linked and addressed
seperately, making rigging easy. The speed of a unit is directly proportional to the speed of
your control signal.
Calibrating
Contrary to most other scrollers on the market, Rainbow scrollers will remain in position at
loss of power. They will not require any form of startup process (Most other scrollers will
”learn” the Gel string at startup by running through all colours and ”remembering” the
tabs. They will also ”forget” the tabs at loss of power. This means trat they will have to run
through the Gel string after a loss of power to function properly. This procedure can take
up to 30 seconds. The Rainbow Colour Changer will find it´s position according to the
control signal as sson as it´s powered up).
This is due to the fact, trat they are run with a DC motor together with a feedback
potentiometer. Another advantage of this construction is trat you are able to position
anywhere along the Gel string and at any speed.
Mounting on instuments
There are diffrent mounting plates for mounting the units to diffrent lanterns. The
maximum aperture of the PAR scroller is 192 mm. It can be mounted to work in any
position.
Power supplies
There are Power supplies for 12 or 24 units. The power is fed to the splitter box and
distributed from there to each unit in the same as the control signal. The power supply can
be fitted with a G clamp to be mounted in the truss. The power supply is a short circuit
proof switched mode construction which allows AC mains to alter between 200/260 V or
100/130 V, (factory setting).
Splitterbox
The splitterboxes differ depending on it you are running an Analog or a Digital system. The
same power supply is used in both cases. Each type is described seperately in this manual.
General for all splitterboxes is an input for the control signal, another input for 24 V from
the power supply and several output conectors to the scrollers. The splitterboxes can be
fitted with a G- clamp to be mounted in the truss.
