Before each use
Ensure that the rotator is correctly and safely mounted
Ensure that the attached load is correctly mounted
Warning! Do not use the rotator if any damage or error is found!
How to get started
1.
Mount the rotator according to the instructions on page 10.
2.
Set the DMX address using the 100, 10, and 1 switches. Set MODE 1
3.
Apply DMX from a Lighting desk, best is a desk with manual faders. Pull all channels on to 0%
4.
Apply power to the rotator.
DMX lamp should be lit, and the mode lamp should be flashing.
Position mode
5.
Set channel 6 to 52 % and channel 4 to 30 %
Now the rotator will slowly turn clockwise.
6.
When the wanted CW end position is found - set channel 4 to 0% and channel 5 to 30 %
Now the rotator will slowly turn counter clockwise.
7.
When the wanted CCW end position is found - set channel 5 to 0%.
8.
Set channel 3 to 50% and channel 1 to 25%
Now the rotator starts to move down, with 50% speed, to the position 25% from CW end.
Angular positioning mode
9.
Set all channels (1 – 6) to 0%
10.
Set channel 6 to 100% (Angular mode)
11.
Set channel 3 to 50% (Max speed) and channel 4 to 30% (Manual CW).
Now the rotator will slowly turn clockwise. Let the rotator run minimum one rotation
(must be done each time power is connected, so the rotator identifies its angular zero
position)
12.
Set channel 4 to 0% and channel 1 to 25% (Position).
Now the rotator will rotate until it reaches 90 degrees with 50% speed
13.
Set channel 1 to 75%.
Now the rotator will rotate CW until it reaches 270 degrees with 50% speed
Note:
It is possible to change between constant CW or CCW rotation and angular positioning mode while
the rotator is running. During change from constant CW/CCW rotation the rotator will always continue in
the same direction until the wanted angular position is found. When the rotator is in angular positioning
mode it will select the rotation direction that will give the shortest direction.
