Specifications

Theunit shall be an integrallydesigned, remote controlled motorized spot luminaire . Thehousing and yoke shall be constructedof aluminumalloy and steel for lightweight strengthand shall be forced-air cooledusing two virtuallysilent fans . Therear lamp cap shallbe removable, providing ea se of accessto thelamp fo r replacementand beam field adjustment. Twoenclosed , hightorque servomotors shall be providedto permitmovement of the j ~· . headon a horizontalplane of 360' andon a verticalplane of 270'.Control cabling shall j ,. . be run internallyto preventtangling . Thelow voltagemotors shall be beltdriven , pro­ vidingpositional resolution and repeatability of 0.3· on eitheraxis . Manualoverride underpower shall result in no harmto the drive mechanism. Eachunit shall be equipped with an on -boardmicroprocessor providing diagno stic andself -calibrationfunctions . In the eventthe luminaire encounters any physical obstructionduring calibration , the panand tilt motorswill automaticallybe disabled preventingdamage to the mechanisms. Theunit shallcontain two rotating, easilyremovable filter wheels . Eachwheel shall be capableof holdingup to eleven, easilychang eable, user-selectabledichro ic coloror gobochoices . A five positionrotating, indexable gobo wheel is alsoprovided . Gobos shallbe easilyremovable from unit. without th e needto powerdown or lowerthe light­ ing system.Two motors provide independent dri veregardless of directionof movement. Positionalaccuracy of the filterframe in referenceto the beamshall be ensured by the microprocessor, whichmaintains count of bothstepper motors and optical sen sors that definesthe openwhite positions . Wheelsmay a lso spincontinuously . Theunit shallcontain an aluminumbladed dimmer mechanism that providesfull fielddimming and allows for smoothtimed fades and fast blackouts.
