Mechanical Test
The Mechanical Test menu provides a method for exercising all luminaire mechanisms individually.
Each mechanism has a similar Test screen, Cyan is shown in the example below:
The following test functions are available:
•
Test Chase - The mechanism will move back and forth between two positions. The START/STOP
button starts and stops the motion, and the SPEED button sets the rate of the motion. For
mechanisms with sensors, one of the positions will be on the sensor and the other position will be
off.
• Manual Control - The slider on the right side of the screen moves the mechanism through its
range of travel, manually. Tapping the arrows will move the mechanism in half panel increments.
• Feedback -The current status of the mechanisms encoder (POSITION) and sensor (SENSOR) are
shown (if available for that mechanism). STATUS indicates whether the mechanism is in an error
state or normal operating state.
• Utility Functions - Press RE-CAL to recalibrate the mechanism or DISABLE to turn off the
motor control to allow the mechanism to move freely.
• Configuration Information - HOME OFFSET indicates whether the home position* has been
adjusted to fine tune sensor positions (applies to gobo wheel only, see Control Channel table on
page 41 for zero wheel mechanism).
* Due to small variations in sensor and sensor board positions, the open position on a gobo wheel
might not be precisely aligned with the optical axis, creating a slight blockage on one side of the
open beam. Adjust the wheel position via DMX to get the proper alignment and send the HOME
OFFSET command to store the current position as the new "home" position. This position is stored
in persistent memory and will be used going forward as the home position.
