VARI❋LITE® - VL2500 SPOT LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Powering Up Power-Up Procedure Since Lamp On is the default state, the lamp will strike when the luminaire is powered up for the first time. When AC power is applied, the luminaire will immediately begin a calibration sequence that steps it through full pan and tilt movements. The internal color, gobo, and beam mechanisms will also move through a full range of motion. After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with the lens pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or move to its current DMX-defined position if DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their "home" or DMX-defined positions. Subsequently, depending on the luminaire’s setting for Lamp Power-Up State (refer to “Menu System Functions” on page 53), when power is applied, the arc lamp will either a) "strike" or ignite - Lamp On (default), b) await calibration and then strike - Cal On, or c) await manual command to strike - Lamp Off. CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction. To power up: Step 1. At each luminaire, apply power by switching power switch to "I" (ON) position. Luminaire will automatically step through following procedure: a. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Lamp On, lamp will strike (ignite). b. Luminaire will cycle through calibration and stop at "home" position. c. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Cal On, lamp will strike (ignite) at end of calibration sequence. 18 05-January-2004 02.9676.0019 A
Align Lamp for Flat Field INSTALLATION : POWERING UP 2 The design of the VL2500 spot luminaire optical system is based on a flat field. A flat field is one where there is no detectable hot spot. After a new lamp is installed, it will be necessary to align the lamp to optimize the beam for the flat field. Knobs located at the luminaire’s backcap will allow adjustment. WARNING: Backcap and adjustment knobs will be HOT during lamp operation. Wear gloves and/or use tools to prevent burns. To align lamp: Step 1. Using internal menus select Lamp test to set beam. See “Menu System Functions” on page 53 for more information. (If using console, set intensity to 100%, open beam size iris and focus for hard edge.) Step 2. Position beam on a white wall at a distance of 10' to 20'. Step 3. At backcap, using Vertical and Horizontal knobs, adjust hot spot to center of beam. Step 4. Using Focus knob, adjust beam for best spot. Note: During this test, the pan and tilt functions of the luminaire are temporarily disabled to allow manual movement of the luminaire head. Pan and tilt functions will be restored when the test is exited.

Since Lamp On is the default state, the lamp will strike when the luminaire is powered up for the first<br />
time. When AC power is applied, the luminaire will immediately begin a calibration sequence that<br />
steps it through full pan and tilt movements. The internal color, gobo, and beam mechanisms will also<br />
move through a full range of motion. After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at its "home"<br />
position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with the lens<br />
pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or move to its current DMX-defined position if<br />
DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their "home" or DMX-defined positions.<br />
Subsequently, depending on the luminaire’s setting for Lamp Power-Up State (refer to “Menu System<br />
Functions” on page 53), when power is applied, the arc lamp will either a) "strike" or ignite - Lamp On<br />
(default), b) await calibration and then strike - Cal On, or c) await manual command to strike - Lamp<br />
Off.<br />
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and<br />
yoke can move freely without restriction.<br />
To power up:<br />
Step 1. At each luminaire, apply power by switching power switch to "I" (ON) position. Luminaire<br />
will automatically step through following procedure:<br />
a. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Lamp On, lamp will strike (ignite).<br />
b. Luminaire will cycle through calibration and stop at "home" position.<br />
c. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Cal On, lamp will strike (ignite) at end of calibration<br />
sequence.<br />
