  • Page 4: Introduction

    The safety and operating instructions must be observed. The Licht-Technik motoryoke YipMan With the Licht-Technik motoized yoke, we can offer an flexible, versatile, precise, durable and reliable device for positioning of different devices. Company Licht-Technik developes motoryokes since 1991 for film, TV an theatre lighting.
  • Page 5 Because of the absolute value device, the motoryoke does not perform any initialisation runs after power up. In addition a power down does not affect the current position, also because of the self-locking gearboxes. The lighted LCD display (the light can be switched off) leads the user in plain text instructions through the various programming steps.
  • Page 6: Safety- And Operating Instructions

    Safety- and operating instructions Danger to life! Before opening the housing disconnect the device from the mains !!! Do not try in any case to touch the electronic through openings, also with any objects. This can cause an electrical accident that can lead to death! Please note: The switching or rising/falling from one input voltage range to another during operation can lead to damage of the device! When using a generator, first start the generator and wait for stable mains supply...
  • Page 7 That applies also to the transport. It is absolutely forbidden to hang up the yoke on its spigot when transported! If you want to use a transport carriage, it must be certified by Licht-Technik! The fastening spigot must be checked visual once a year. The spigot must be in right angel to the housing.

  • Page 9: Quick Start Guide

    Quick start guide Prior starting, observe the safety and operating instructions on page 6!!! Follow the description step by step to mount the lamp and program the yoke! For cable connections, please refer to section cabling, page Assembling position: First, the yoke must move to build-in position. The yoke must hang in a rigg. Connect power cable, but let it switched off.
  • Page 10: Assembling The Moving Device

    Assembling the moving device Cabling and connecting possibilities are described on page 12 Start with mains in only! Do not connect the DMX line! Power on the motoryoke Use the quick start guide on page 9. When all axles have been moved to loading position, assemble the payload: 1.
  • Page 11: Identification

    Identification The motoryokes are identified by a number on the identification plate as follows: MB – XX Motoryoke. On every motoryoke identification plate. Type: Studio yoke Type: tube yoke Type: Show yoke Type: Flexible in width Type: One point connection (YipMan) The DMX-standard in lighting Because of many problems with analogue data-signals from the control panels to the dimmers the DMX-standard was developed in 1990.
  • Page 12: Cabling

    Cabling Caution! Please read the operating and safety instructions on page 6 (continuing) before cabling! Make sure that the motoryoke is switched off before cabling! Caution! Make sure that the cables run in wide loop to the motoryoke. Check, if the cables are long enough for the complete moving range.
  • Page 13 A maximum of four units can controlled via Vision Control or LT-Pilot! If you use a standard DMX-desk, please observe the DMX-footprint on page 19 If you use the Vision-Control or the LT-Pilot remote control system, please use the following channels and programming values: DMX-addressing and unit assignment: Unit 1 Unit 2...
  • Page 14: Getting Started

    Getting started Mount the motoryoke system at the desired place with observing the operating and safety instructions on page 6! Mount the moving device like described in Assembling the device on page 10. Cable the system like described on page 12. Switch on the motoryoke.
  • Page 15: 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 16 Setting the PAN middle position: The middle position normally is the position in which the installed device is used most. It can be set at menu P05, PAN-axis middle position, page 22. 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%.
  • Page 17 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 vertical position of the mounting socket.
  • Page 18: User Interface

    MENU key In normal operating mode the LCD-display indicates different information. The first line shows the Licht-Technik moving text with details on type of device, software version and telephone number. The second line indicates the first DMX-address and its incoming value (8-Bit, 0..255).
  • Page 19: Dmx Channels Motoryoke

    DMX channels motoryoke The following chapters require the DMX-channel assignment of the motoryoke. Please note the difference which is programmed in P27, PAN/TILT DMX speed channel setup, page 29. This menu determines if the speed is given by one or by two channels. Therefore, the motoryoke requires between 5 (without optional components) and 12 DMX- channels.
  • Page 20: P01 Dmx-Address Motoryoke

    P01 DMX-Address motoryoke At this point the first DMX-address of the motoryoke can be adapted to the desired DMX- address of the light mixing panel. This address represents the PAN-DMX-address. All other addresses follow this address. Refer to DMX-channels motoryoke, page 19 Range of values: Address 1..512 Operation: Menü...
  • Page 21: P02 Rotation Unit On/Off

    P02 Rotation unit ON/OFF At this point an optional rotation module can be switched ON or OFF. The speed of the rotation axle is fixed, so no speed channel has to be set.

  • Page 23: P06 Tilt-Axis 0-Degree Position

    P06 TILT-axis 0-degree position With this function the TILT-axis fine adjustment of the 0-position can be made. Please read first chapter TILT-axis moving range, page 17. This function can only be used for fine adjustment. The TILT axis is not symetrical. It can not be determined which DMX value correspondes to this position.
  • Page 24: P11 Pan-Axis Moving Range

    P11 PAN-axis moving range At this point the PAN-axis moving range can be programmed. The moving range has as reference point the PAN-axis middle position which can be set in P05, PAN-axis middle position, page 22. For example: If this menu is programmed to 90°, the motoryoke moves 90°...
  • Page 25: P12 Tilt-Down (Negative) Moving Range

    P12 TILT-down (negative) moving range At this point the TILT-down moving range can be set. For the TILT-axis the moving ranges (up and down) must be programmed individually. The negative moving range is defined as the „direction bottom“ range. The moving ranges have the 0-position as reference point.
  • Page 26: P13 Tilt-Up (Positive) Moving Range

    P13 TILT-up (positive) moving range At this point the TILT-up moving range can be set. For the TILT-axis the moving ranges (up and down) must be programmed individually. The positive moving range is defined as the „direction top“ range. The moving ranges have the 0-position as reference point. This point can be set in P06, TILT-axis 0-position, page 23.
