Replacing Static Color Wheel Dichroic Wedges

Replace color wedges if they are damaged or
broken, to change their order in the wheel, or
to install a new or custom color. (See Related
Products and Accessories on page 5 for
ordering information.)
To replace a color wedge:
1. Lock the fixture in the upright position.
2. Remove both sides of the bezel.
3. Locate the Color Mix Module and use a
flathead screwdriver to loosen the two
thumbscrews that hold it in the fixture.
4. Free the harness by removing the
grommet from its slot next to the module.
5. Grasping the module from each side, slide
it part way out of the fixture.
6. Rotate the static color wheel to access the
wedge you want to replace.
7. Grasp the wedge and pull it straight out of the fixture. If the wedge has been broken, use a
dental pick to remove any glass retained in the hub taking care that loose glass does not fall
into the fixture.
8. Position the new dichroic wedge with the coated side facing the lamp with the coated side
facing the lamp.
Note: To determine which side of the litho is coated, place the tip of a pen against each
side of the litho and view it from a slight angle. On the coated side, the tip of the
pen appears to touch its reflection. On the uncoated side, there appears to be a
gap between the pen and its reflection
