Power at the Coloram II Power Supply is indicated by the red display which can be viewed from the stage. Power is also indicated on the bottom of each Color Changer by a red or yellow LED.
The connected Color Changers will automatically "check in" with the power supply and "initialize" the gelstring installed by doing the following actions:
1.Moving the gelstring toward the last frame, in search of the long foil tag.
2.Turning around at the long foil tag and then searching for the short foil tag at the beginning of the gelstring.
3.Stopping at the short foil tag and staying there if no DMX signal is present or going to it’s commanded position if DMX signal is present.
Note: It may take up to 30 seconds before all Color Changers start to initialize. Upon power up, the Power Supply will scroll a short message which includes the software version installed in it. The Power Supply will then initiate a "roll call" which tells the Color Changers to "check in" and initialize the gel string.
Caution: Do not power the Power Supply from a dimmer. Severe damage will result and is not covered by product warranty.
4. Set the Power Supply/Color Changer channels
Each color changer is assigned a DMX address to which it will respond. Valid DMX addresses are 001 - 512.
First, set the first channel for the block of DMX channels selected for the power supply. Then, set the color changer for the first, second, etc channel of that block of channels.
For example, if you want a color changer to respond to DMX channel 105, first set the power supply channel block to start on channel 105 and then set the color changer to 1 which is the first channel in the block of power supply channels - channel 105.
