Menu structure 3 Installation This chapter contains instructions for the installation of the Motorised WARP. It covers connecting power and data, powering up the Motorised WARP for the first time and addressing it within your system. 3.1 Mounting The Motorised WARP MUST be mounted in a vertical position, either hanging vertically on a tube or standing on the base of its Topbox.
Installation 3.2.5 Ethernet The Motorised WARP is equipped with one RJ45 connector for Ethernet. 3.3 Installation Procedures 3.3.1 Inserting (replacing) the lamp It is necessary to insert the lamp before use. Ensure that power is removed from the Motorised WARP when installing or replacing the lamp. The lamp housing, lamp assembly and the lamp may be very hot when the lamp has been turned on.
Menu structure 3.3.2 Alignment of the lamp After replacing the lamp it may be necessary to make adjustments. To adjust the beam, turn the Spot-Even ring (15) towards 'SPOT'. Adjust the position of the bulb with the X-Y knob (16). Unlock the knob by turning it to the left (16a) and correct the position by moving the knob in the desired direction (16b).
Installation 3.3.3 Suggested procedure to align the lamp It is not always simple to align the lamp if you do not dispose of a white screen. This procedure to align the lamp is accurate and simple. What you need: 1. WARP Metal filter frame (PFM/185 (185 x 185 mm) 2.
Menu structure Alignment The lamp shape is visible on the filter. Align the lamp to the middle of the cross. See drawing. User Manual - page 20 www.adblighting.com Issue 1.1...
Installation 3.4 Pan & Tilt – ‘Reset’ versus ‘Absolute Values’ When powered up, motorised fixtures go through a ‘self-discovery routine’ which can be quite noisy at times – especially during the reset of Pan & Tilt. Motorised WARP uses a different approach, thanks to the absolute encoders for Pan & Tilt. At Power Up, WARP can work either with Absolute Values or with Reset function.
Menu structure 3.4.1 Internal jumpers The jumpers are on the motor driver boards under the left and right yoke cover. Under the covers you will find 3 PCB’s (Printed Circuit Boards), one board on one side and two stacked boards on the other side. There are 2 identical Ring driver boards (each with 6 motor driver chips) and one Pan&Tilt board (with 2 motor driver chips).
Jumpers on the Pan&Tilt board (board with two motor driver chips) JP1 => Not used. JP2 => Only for internal ADB use. Locks the software in the memory of the board. (Warning: if the jumper is placed, it is not possible to upload new software.) JP3 =>...
Menu structure 3.5 Balancing Motorised WARP offers superb positioning – provided it has been correctly balanced. An unbalanced WARP will not operate properly. 3.5.1 Factory-balancing of the WARP Prior to shipping, WARP has been balanced in the factory for ‘Standing’. If you wish to add a colour changer then you’ll have to re-balance to compensate for the extra weight.
Installation 3.6 Learn Boundaries for Pan & Tilt When WARP is positioned in a niche, or between pieces of scenery, you may wish to restrict its range of pan & tilt movements. Learn Boundaries is an automatic tool for detection of the physical boundaries. WARP will remember the ‘allowed window of movement’...
Menu structure 3.8 Powering up When powering up a Motorised WARP the Motorised WARP must be balanced See 3.5 Balancing. WARNING The ring for an iris can only rotate 90 degrees. So WARP must be made aware of the presence of an iris. This is done in the Configuration Menu. FACTORY SETTING: NO IRIS See chapter Menus.

Helpful tips 10 Helpful Tips 10.1 How to insert or remove an accessory Inserting or removing an accessory needs to be done correctly. Inserting or removing in a wrong way can damage the WARP and/or the accessory. Several types of actions are required you must teach WARP about the presence (none / gobo+iris / gobo+gobo).
Helpful Tips ATTENTION: when you insert the iris, it must be in the Open position. 10.1.3 How to remove iris / gobo holder Before removing an accessory it is important to set both accessory slots to the insert position. This is the equivalent of the ‘click’ positions for the manual WARP. This can be achieved in different ways.
