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 45

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.
