- Page 8 The Rotator can be used with the shaft mounted downwards, upwards (only 281), and sideways (only 281). With the shaft mounted downwards the Rotator 280 can carry a load up to 50 kg with a rotation speed of 0.15-6.8 rpm, where the more advanced Rotator 281 can rotate up to 150 kg (shaft downwards) with a rotation speed of 0.15-6.8 rpm.

Use only approved rigging connectors to secure the load to the mounting clamp. Do not modify the Rotator. For any modification of your Rotator, contact Wahlberg. It is the customer's sole responsibility to comply with any relevant local laws, regulatory requirements, and restrictions, concerning the use of the Rotator. -
Page 10: Using For The First Time
Important! The Rotator must be protected from environmental factors such as physical shocks and vibration during transportation. Use only the original packaging, flight case, or pallet frame for protecting the Rotator during transport. Contact Wahlberg for enquiries regarding flight cases or pallet frames. 281.805.009 Date: 2019-11-14... -
Page 11: Physical Installation
Physical installation Warning! The Rotator must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a roof, wall or floor, or clamped to a truss or similar structure in a safe way. Do not apply power to the Rotator if it is not securely fastened. Warning! If fastening the Rotator to a flat surface, the supporting surface must be hard and flat. - Page 12 10 times the combined weight of all Rotators and equipment to be installed on it. 2. Use the supplied rigging clamp or contact Wahlberg Motion Design for a replacement. 3. Fasten the clamp to the Rotator with the supplied M12 bolt, nut, and washers in the hole in the mounting clamp of the Rotator.

AC mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed under “Protection from electric shock” on page 2. Wahlberg Motion Design can supply the PowerCON input connector. If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A. -
Page 15: Tips For Reliable Data Transmission
Data link A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the Rotator via DMX. The Rotator has 5- pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = (-), and pin 3 = (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the Rotator but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. -

Attachment power (Only 281) Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 2 before connecting AC mains power to the attachment power inlet. Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the attachment with power must be located near the rotator and easily accessible so that the attachment can easily be disconnected from power. - Page 17 [This page is intentionally left blank] 281.805.009 Date: 2019-11-14...

Set up Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 2 before installing, powering, operating, or servicing the Rotator. Warning! Only experienced DMX users should operate the Rotator. Contact Wahlberg for further information and education on DMX protocol. Block diagram A block diagram of the control system can be found in Appendix 4 on page 35. -

Rotator 281 The Rotator has 5 plugs. At the top there are power connection plug for POWER in, and one plug that can be used to daisy chain the power connection between multiple devices. Below there is a 2 DMX plugs, one for connection DMX in and one for daisy chaining the DMX connection to other devices. -
Page 20: Mode Setting
MODE setting The MODE setting allows you to operate the Rotator in different ways. Each MODE setting has a given function. Each mode gives an opportunity for different operational settings of the Rotator. The MODE is selected using the MODE selector on the Rotator. The Rotator needs to be reset, before the positioning MODE is possible. - Page 21 MODE Function Description Note Neutral Mode The motor is not powered, and the Rotator does not move. Positioning mode Positioning mode with slow ramp Slow speed change (Ramp) Positioning mode Positioning mode with medium ramp medium speed change (Ramp) Positioning mode Positioning mode with fast ramp Fast speed change (Ramp)

Page 22: Channel Function
channel Function Description Position rough This channel controls the position of the Rotator, with the speed (DMX channel This rough position works together with the fine position (DMX channel 2). The rough position and the fine position are multiplied in to a 16-bit channel. The rough position is the MSB. -
Page 23: Manual Reset
Manual reset When the rotator is ready, the first thing to do is to reset it. The CW-position needs to be set manually, before the rotator is able to use for positioning run. To get the most precise run, fit for your own needs, it is possible to regulate the CW- and CCW- end positions. This is done manually on DMX channel 4 and DMX channel 5. -
Page 24: Positioning Mode
Positioning Mode If DMX channel 6 is 0-79%, the 0% position and 100% position is set by the user using DMX channel 4(CW-100% position) and 5(CCW-0% position). When saving positions DMX channel 6 must be set between 50% and 55%. DMX channel 4 moves the rotator in the CW direction and sets the 100% position. - Page 25 Synchronized movements of multiple Rotators If several Rotators are installed to perform synchronized movements the best result is achieved by using a fading 16-bit position. The Rotators have a slight deviation in performance of the motors, so some motors have a slightly higher maximum speed than others.

Rotator, and the Rotator should be taken out of operation until the error is eliminated. Parts Only parts ordered at or approved by Wahlberg should be used in the Rotator to ensure product function and stability. Contact Wahlberg Motion Design to inquire about spare parts. -
Page 27: Maintenance Plan
Test Lifetime of the rotator It is Wahlberg policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent the performance will be affected. -
