About This Manual This manual describes specific information regarding description and installation of the VL4™ wash luminaire. It provides test, fault isolation, and repair procedures for the purpose of general service and repair of the luminaires. The manual is intended for use by Vari-Lite personnel and by Vari-Lite’s customers/clients.
- VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® 1.1.3 Maintenance Philosophy The fault isolation and maintenance sections of this manual provide a logical path of fault isolation and repair designed to return the equipment to proper operation in most cases. The fault isolation procedures for the...
Lamp Handling Due to the use of high power lamps (bulbs) in all VL4 luminaires, the heat of the luminaire head can reach temperatures of around 400°F when the lamp is lit. To aid in the airflow circulation within the luminaires, after dousing the lamps, wait ten minutes before removing power to the luminaires.
Page 20
• Use care when opening and closing the rear door of the VL4 luminaires. Any jarring of the rear door can undo the optical alignment of the lamp.
The rear housing provides access to the lamp, through which the beam shape may be adjusted. The VL4 head and yoke assembly is mounted on an electronics chassis, which houses components for lamp power and luminaire control. The chassis contains an arc power supply (APS), voltage selector board, pan mechanism, cooling fan, and two processors for luminaire control.

1-15 1. I HAPTER NTRODUCTION 1.4.2 Electronic Chassis Components Ref. Name Description Transformer/ Provides unregulated DC power from AC input Capacitor for use by lamp power supply assembly and low Assembly voltage supply PCB assembly. Consists of connectorized transformer assembly and connectorized capacitor assembly.
1-17 1. I HAPTER NTRODUCTION Principles of Operation 1.5.1 Operation Overview Operation of the luminaire is provided by software within the luminaire. The processing functions are carried out on the universal control board (composed of the lamp control board and the interface board). The voltage selector board senses the incoming voltage and automatically configures the power supplies for either 110 or 220 VAC.
1-18 - VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® Universal Control Board (UCB) The universal control board is a dual-processor control board. One processor is the main controller. It communicates with the console via the communications link, executes commands it receives, operates the pan and tilt servos, and issues stepper motor commands to the second processor, whose sole purpose is to control the stepper motors.
1-19 1. I HAPTER NTRODUCTION 1.5.3 Data and Power Flow Diagram Input data and power is supplied to the luminaire via the Series 200 connector on the electronics chassis. Power is directed to the voltage select board (VSB). The VSB switches the transformer primaries for the appropriate mode.
Installation 2.1.1 Luminaire Hanging VL4 luminaires can be hung from a truss or similar structure by one of several methods. All methods utilize hanging clamps called truss hooks. VL4 luminaires have four receptacles for hook connection. For an in-depth explanation of hanging methods, refer to Series 200 Installation and Checkout Manual (02.9622.0010).
- VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® 2.1.1.2 Clearances Note: The VL4 luminaire requires 3-1/2 inches (8.89 cm) clearance between the chassis assemblies of adjacent luminaires. 14.0 in 356 mm 4.5 in 4.5 in 114 mm 114 mm TOP VIEW 4.75 in...
In order to ensure that luminaires are not damaged during shipment, it is important to properly pack in the case. When packing VL4 luminaires into road cases, it is important to load them so that the air screens are in the case lengthwise. This orientation prevents the screens from being pulled loose when the luminaires are unpacked.
2. I & C HAPTER NSTALLATION HECKOUT Checkout Use this procedure to verify proper equipment operation. 2.2.1 Power-Up Step 1. Connect luminaire to a VARI*LITE Series 200 console through an ACS rack or truss repeater. Step 2. Supply system power to luminaire. Step 3.
For ground installations, safety cables are not required. For all uses of the sound baffles, the baffle fits over the fan opening and air filter. It is necessary to remove the air filter from VL4 luminaires before installation.
2-11 2. I & C HAPTER NSTALLATION HECKOUT Lamp Optical Alignment The proper focus of the luminaire occurs when the source of illumination (lamp) is on the optical axis of the parabolic reflector. The optical alignment can be achieved by moving the hotspot to the center of the beam using the horizontal and vertical adjustment knobs on the lamp access plate of the luminaire.
Chapter 3. Maintenance Procedures This chapter contains the following sections: Test Procedures Luminaire Fault Isolation Luminaire Maintenance Procedures Periodic Maintenance Refer to Series 200 System Equipment Preparation and Inspection Manual (02.3004.0042) for periodic maintenance procedures for new and used equipment. 02.9628.0010 CONFIDENTIAL 7-Oct-97...
Test EPROMs 3.1.1.1 Description The VL4 luminaire has the ability to use diagnostic EPROMs to aid in troubleshooting. After installation of the EPROMs on the lamp control assembly’s universal control board (refer to Test Setup paragraph), the luminaire can perform self-tests to help determine a faulty assembly. The self-tests are activated by setting the thumbwheel address to a corresponding self-test.
- VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® 3.1.1.3 Seven-Segment Display The seven-segment display is initially used to display the test number (in hexadecimal) for tests 1 thru 15. Error codes and results from these tests are then displayed whenever they occur. Mechanics tests, multiple function tests, and PSU test settings (tests 1 thru 15) all display their results as error codes that could be multiple during each test.
3. M HAPTER AINTENANCE ROCEDURES 3.1.3 Mechanics Tests (Tests 1 Through 15) The mechanics tests are composed of tests for the pan and tilt mechanisms and all bulkheads in the luminaire head. The mechanics oscillate at a speed selectable by the test parameter. While the oscillations are running, software checks the operation of position encoders (pan/tilt) or sensors where they exist.
3.1.4.4 Form and Function Test (Test 24) The form and function test setting displays switch status in real time hexadecimal, which for a VL4 luminaire, at present, is 9 (hex). CONFIDENTIAL 02.9628.0010 7-Oct-97...
3. M HAPTER AINTENANCE ROCEDURES 3.1.4.5 Data Loop-Back Test (Test 25) The data line test requires an external link between broadcast and reply lines if the parameter setting is set to 9. On parameter setting 8, the test will loop back via board relay. A valid loop is indicated by a chasing single segment circle.
- VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® 3.1.7 Thumbwheel Test Program Bug A bug exists in thumbwheel test 88. To exit thumbwheel test, the test procedure instructs you to set thumbwheel to "000." If you set any two digits to "0" and punch the third digit, you may exit the thumbwheel test, either on first punch or on second punch.
3. M HAPTER AINTENANCE ROCEDURES 3.1.8 Test Setup To install test EPROMs and test luminaire: Step 1. Remove luminaire from system installation. Step 2. Remove lamp control assembly. a. At right chassis air filter, while pressing down on filter, pop out top of filter from chassis and fully remove filter.
3-10 - VL4™ W UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL ITE® 3.1.9 Test Results Charts Tables 3-2 through 3-9 contain a symptom/probable cause/corrective action troubleshooting table that isolates faults to the major subassemblies.

CON_MTA 5.1.2 CPC connectors are used to connect luminaire wiring to external cables. The VL4 luminaire input panel uses one, nine position CPC connector (receptacle type). Contact pins are installed on the wires CONTACT and the wires and contact pins are inserted into the CPC connector.
Connector pins are installed on the wires and the wires and connector pins are inserted into the Mate-N-Lok plugs or receptacles. Plugs and receptacles may be free (as shown) or PC board mounted. Although a three position connector is shown, the VL4 luminaire uses three and POS. 1 POS. 1 four position connectors.
