DMX IRIS OPERATIONS MANUAL
Manual Operation
The Rosco DMX Iris can also be
used as a manually adjustable
iris in situations where live
control of the aperture size is
not required. With no power
applied to the DMX Iris, turn
the manual knob on the back
of the DMX Iris until the desire
aperture size is achieved.
(Figure 4) If power is present,
the manual knob cannot be
used.
Precautions
Use only properly rated IEC power cord (18AWG 3C SJT) and connect only
•
to compatible voltage supplies (100-240v 50-60hz)
Always use a safety cable to insure the DMX Iris cannot fall out of the fixture.
•
Do not allow power cords or DMX cables to come in contact with the body
•
of the luminaire or the rear lamp cap.
Do not connect DMX Iris to a dimming circuit.
•
Keep fingers clear of moving iris mechanism.
•
The metal case of the DMX Iris may get very hot after continuous use in a
•
luminaire. Use caution to avoid burns when handling units that have been
in running luminaires.
Troubleshooting
The DMX Iris will not fit into the Iris Slot.
1.
Make sure the Friction Lock is in the up (disengaged) position and
•
that the lock itself is not extending outside the metal case.
The iris slot cover of the luminaire may need to be removed to allow
•
complete access to the slot. Fully remove the two screws holding
the cover and lift off. Set aside so that the cover can be reinstalled
at a later date.
Installing the DMX Iris into the Selecon Pacific Coolight requires that
•
the guide channel in the side cut of the DMX Iris align with the rear
guide track in the Pacific’s iris slot.
