Introduction The Coloram II System is a scrolling color changer and power supply in a complete range of models offering ease of setup and use. Its variable color capacity and DMX compatibility affords the designer economy and versatility, particularly when budget and space are limited.
The power supply sends both power and control signal on a single cable eliminating the need for a separate power cable for each color changer. The Coloram II System also allows you to control the color changer fan speed via an additional DMX channel on the lighting console.
Use the SETUP menu for the following: Set the starting channel to 1. Set the mode to CR2. Send DMX levels The Coloram II color changer will respond to DMX channel 1. Vary the DMX level to move the gel string.

As all Coloram II Color Changers will accommodate variable length gel strings, the level settings which correspond with each frame position will vary depending on the number of frames in the gel string.
Note: Refer to the Specifications section of this manual for the maximum number of gel string frames each color changer will hold. Gelstring The gelstring is a series of precisely cut, colored gel frames joined together, side by side, to create a sequence of colors. Two additional gels at each end of the gelstring are called the leader and the trailer.
4 AWG conductors and a 22 AWG twisted, shielded pair. Note: The cable used in the Coloram II System is the same cable which is used in the Forerunner System and may be referred to as either Coloram II cable or Forerunner cable.
