Tungsten with Integral
IGBT Dimmer
Specifications
The unit shall be an integrally designed, remote-controlled, automated ellipsoidal reflector
spot luminaire. An integral enclosure/pan tube supports the luminaire with provisions for
two hooks. The pan tube serves as an interconnection point for power and data. Low noise
fans provide forced-air cooling for internal components during extreme operating
conditions. The rear cap provides three-point lamp adjustment and easy access to the
lamp for replacement.
The unit has an integral electronic dimmer capable of 800 micro-second rise time
operation.
An AC input connector, and two, five-pin DMX512 compatible connectors (in and through)
are provided. Power requirements are 11A at 115 volts and 6A at 230 volts. The unit can
be controlled by a wide variety of DMX512 consoles.
Each unit shall be equipped with a high-speed processor providing diagnostic and self-
calibration functions as well as internal test routines and software update capabilities. A
yoke arm mounted panel and display provide the user interface.
The unit shall contain three-phase stepper motors to provide movement of the head
through 540˚ in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270˚ in the vertical plane (tilt). The luminaire
calibrates to minimize hanging distances.
A zooming multi-element optical system provides continuous focus of gobo images for field
angles from 19˚ to 36˚. A super zoom function provides field angles to 70˚. Independent
control of edge is provided.
A CYM color mixing system shall be provided for a broad range of user color selection. A
variable diffusion stage shall also be included. This stage provides controlled reduction of
the contrast ratio of imagery and beam edges. The effect is a continuous transition from
spotlight to floodlight.
A six-position gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions and one open
position shall be included. A central bearing system in the gobo wheel shall reduce noise
and ensure smooth operation of the mechanism. Gobos are easily installed and removed.
(A wide selection of gobos are available from Vari-Lite.)
Framing shutter models contain four shutter blades that translate radially across the beam.
Each individual shutter is capable of translating to beam center while also rotating ±35˚.
The framing shutter mechanism rotates as a unit ±45˚.
Iris models contain a beam size iris suitable for producing narrow beams and cropping
gobos.
A 50 kHz. drive system shall quiet all two phase motors in the luminaire both when moving
and static.
The unit is ETL and ETLc certified and CE marked. The unit's exterior finish shall be
available in black or white. Custom colors may be special ordered.
