Mount Focus unit if used. Refer to Quick start guide, page 8. Set the middle position mechanically and roughly of pan axis like illustrated on page 21.

  • Page 20: Pan - Axis Moving Range

    PAN – axis moving range Basically: The PAN-axle is the axle which moves the lamp horizontally. The moving range of the main axles can be adapted individually. For the PAN-axle are two parameters required. The middle position and an angle in which the motoryoke should move.
  • Page 21 Setting the PAN middle position: The middle position normally is the position in which the lamp is used most. You should start with the pan axis in the current adjusted middle position. If you do not know if this is the case, power up the device and set the DMX-channel for position to 50%. Do not forget to set the speed value to 100%.
  • Page 22 TILT – axis moving range Basically: The TILT-axle is the axle which moves the lamp vertically. Normally the factory presettings are suitable and nothing must be set. The lamp can be moved from vertically down to a few degrees on the top. The 0-degree position represents the horizontal even position of the lamp.
  • Page 23 Using the tilt tripping lever: Move the lever on the back side of the yoke. Hold and move the lamp onto the desired 0- position. Now use P06, TILT-axle 0-position, page 30 to fine adjust the new 0-position. Now the angles for the moving range in P12 and P13 can be set. New reference point is the 0-position from before.
