VL1600 ProfiLe
When AC power is applied, the luminaire immediately begins a calibration sequence that steps it through full
pan and tilt movements. The internal color and beam mechanisms will also move through a full range of motion.
After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at
mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with the lens pointing away from the luminaire enclosure) or
move to its current DMX-defined position if DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their
"home" or DMX-defined positions.
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung (or positioned), and the pan and tilt locks are
disengaged, so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction.
to power up:
Step 1.
At each luminaire, apply power connecting the power cable to the unit.
Step 2.
Luminaire automatically steps through calibration and stops at "home" position (only if DMX is not
present).
