® VARI LITE - VL6™ S ERIES UMINAIRE ERVICE ANUAL VL6/VL6B/VL6C Pan/Tilt Belt Tension Adjustment Tools: Wrench, Allen, 5/32", long handled T-wrench, long handled Loose pan/tilt drive belts can create calibration problems. When the luminaire reaches the end of travel, excess belt slack can produce a vibration causing the encoder to continue producing a movement output signal to the processor (even though the luminaire is at its stop).
Page 75 AINTENANCE AINTENANCE ROCEDURES Note: Bilateral deflection may be observed by loosening the tension adjustment screw and rotating the head assembly. As the head is rotated back and forth, the tension is created on one side and deflections are created on the other. Step 2.
