Avoiding damage to the fixture

The Quick Start and Safety Manual contains important information that is intended to
help you avoid possible damage to the fixture from other light sources, during
transportation, etc. Read that information before storing, transporting or using the
fixture.

Powering the fixture off

When you power the fixture off, douse the lamp but leave power applied to the fixture
for 30 minutes before shutting down. This will allow cooling fans to cool down the fixture
evenly, avoiding hotspots that can weaken or damage the lamp.

If you douse the lamp, leave power applied and wait 5 minutes or until the HOT
message disappears from the display until you restrike it.

Features

Intended use

The Highlander Wash is for permanent or temporary indoor use in venues where the
distance to illuminated surfaces is at least 8 m / 26.3 ft.). It may be used outdoors if it is
protected from moisture and precautions are taken to prevent damage from direct
sunlight. It may be placed upright on a level surface or suspended from a suitable
structure as described in this manual.

The Highlander Wash is not suitable for household use, wherever unattended children
have access to it, for permanent outdoor installation, or in areas where the distance
from the fixture to illuminated surfaces is less than the minimum specified.

The Highlander Wash must be installed, operated, and maintained only by persons with
the training, knowledge and skills to do so safely.

Lamp

The Highlander Wash has an OSRAM Lok-It! 1400/PS Brilliant 1400 watt short-arc
discharge lamp with a CRI of 95. This lamp gives true-to-life color and very attractive skin
tones, making it ideal for theatre settings. The lamp’s average rated life is 750 hours. To
minimize the risk of lamp explosion and obtain the best light output, replace the lamp
before it reaches its rated lifetime following the directions in the fixture’s Quick Start and
Safety Manual supplied with the fixture and available for download from www.glp.de.

The fixture will not allow a lamp restrike if it senses that the lamp is too hot. If hot restrike
protection is active, the message HOT appears in the fixture display.

If you have had lamp power applied and then powered the lamp off, allow the lamp to
cool with the fixture powered on until the HOT message disappears from the display
before restriking it. Allow the fixture to cool with power applied for 30 minutes before
opening the lamp door or any other part of the housing.

Lamp power

The lamp can be operated at two power levels:

● At the NORMAL power setting, the lamp runs at 1400 W

● At the ECO power setting, the lamp runs at 1000 W.

You can toggle between these two settings under Lamp Power in the Fixture Settings
control menu.

See the Highlander Wash Quick Start and Safety Manual for details of the lamp power
available when the fixture is connected to AC mains power below 200 V.

Control options

The Highlander Wash is compatible with DMX 512, RDM, Art-Net and sACN control
protocols. See the Highlander Wash Quick Start and Safety Manual for more details.

You can also control the Highlander Wash via wireless DMX if you install an optional
CRMX module. Contact your GLP supplier for details.

Pan and tilt

The Highlander Wash pans through 640° and tilts through 262° with coarse and fine
control channels and self-correcting position feedback. Position feedback can be
disabled and control of pan and tilt can be reversed using the control panel or via DMX
on the Special/Control channel.

Pan and tilt are automatically disabled while you are using the fixture’s control panel.

Shutter

The Highlander Wash features a high-speed mechanical shutter with a choice of pulse
and strobe effects. It provides a full blackout with no visible light when intensity is set to
0%

Dimming

The mechanical dimming system provides
smooth full-range dimming.

Dimming curves

®

See Figure 1. Two dimming curve options
are available: Linear and Soft.

● The Linear setting gives a dimming
curve that the eye perceives as linear.

● The Soft setting gives finer control at
lower light levels, where the eye is most
sensitive to changes in light intensity,
and coarser control at higher light
levels.

You can select the dimming curve using
the control panel or via DMX on the
Special/Control channel.

CMY color mixing

The Highlander Wash features CMY color mixing with progressively saturated Cyan,
Magenta and Yellow for full-range color and efficient output.

Color temperature control

A separate progressive CTO filter lets you vary the color temperature from 6700 K at the
open position to 2700 K warm white when fully applied.

Figure 1. Dimming curves

You can use color mixing on its own to achieve a custom color, or you can select a
color on one of the fixture’s color wheels and then fine-tune it using CMY and CTO in
combination.

Color wheels

See Figure 2. The Highlander Wash features two separate color wheels with dichroic
color filters:

● Color wheel 1 offers seven saturated colors plus open.

● Color wheel 2 offers four pastel colors, half minus green and two color correction

filters plus open.

The color wheel control options let you:

● Select full colors or the open position,

● Scroll the color wheels for split color effects, or

● Rotate the color wheels continuously with variable direction and speed.

Color wheel 1

Color wheel 2

Figure 2. Color wheels

Effect shortcuts

By default, the color wheels take the shortest, fastest route from one slot to the next,
even if this means that they may pass through the open position. To avoid the wheels
passing through the open position when they change from one slot to the next you can
set Effect shortcuts to OFF on the Special/Control DMX channel or in the control panel.

Framing

The four-blade framing module offers individual control of each blade, and the entire
module can be indexed continuously from -45° to +45°. Blades can be continuously
angled by +/- 30° and inserted by up to 100%, giving flexibility in choice of frame shape
and size right down to dead blackout.

Two framing control modes are available:

● Position/Indexing (PI) mode lets you insert each blade into the beam from 0% to 100%
on one channel and tilt each blade from -30° to + 30° on the next channel. Inserting

8 Highlander Wash

User Manual

German Light Products

PRELIMINARY

all four blades 100% into the beam will result in dead blackout. The fixture is set to PI
mode by default.

● Left/Right (LR) mode gives you individual control of the left-hand and the right-hand
sides of each of the four blades. In this mode, for example, DMX channel 25 gives
control of the left-hand side of blade 1 and channel 26 gives control of the right-hand
side of blade 1.

To use framing, select either Position/Index mode (this mode is selected by default) or
Left/Right mode using either the fixture’s control panel or the Special/Control DMX
channel. Then use DMX channels 17 – 24 to control the four framing blades and use
DMX channel 16 to set the indexed angle of the entire framing module.

®

Iris effect

The fixture uses the four framing blades to create an iris effect that can close the beam
down from 100% to blackout.

If you use framing and the iris effect at the same time, the iris effect is overlaid on top of
the framing function: in other words, you can use framing effects within the area
defined by the iris.

Zoom

The Highlander Wash has a 1:7 zoom range. You can vary the beam angle from 5° to
44° (half-peak) / vary the field angle from 11° to 63° (one-tenth peak).

Control on the Zoom DMX channel is normally from spot to flood as the DMX value
increases. You can invert this using the control panel and the Special/Control DMX
channel so that control becomes flood to spot as you increase the DMX value.

Focus and focus tracking

You can adjust focus on DMX channel 15.

You can also set the fixture to use focus tracking, in which focus automatically adjusts to
match different zoom positions. Focus tracking is enabled by default, letting you
change zoom angles without any need to make adjustments on the focus channel.

It is possible to disable focus tracking completely or to optimize focus tracking for three
different projection distance ranges using the Special/Control DMX channel. Four focus
tracking settings are available:

● Focus tracking OFF sets the zoom and focus DMX channels to control zoom and focus
completely independently of each other.

● Focus tracking NEAR sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of around 8 meters or less when the zoom angle is changed.

● Focus tracking MEDIUM sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of around 15 meters when the zoom angle is changed. Focus
tracking is set to MEDIUM by default.

● Focus tracking FAR sets focus to automatically adjust for optimum sharpness at
projection distances of over 20 meters when the zoom angle is changed.

If you have enabled Focus tracking NEAR, MEDIUM or FAR you can still override the
automatic focus setting: any manual adjustment that you make on the Focus DMX
channel will take priority over the automatic setting. However, if you change the zoom

Hilghlander Wash User Manual

PRELIMINARY

angle again, the fixture will forget any manual focus setting and return to automatically
adjusting focus to match the fixture’s zoom angle.

Behavior when the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal

You can set the fixture to react in four different ways if no DMX signal is present (if the
fixture is being controlled by DMX but the DMX signal stops, or if you apply power to the
fixture when no DMX signal is present):

● Hold DMX sets the fixture to continue obeying the last DMX values it received. This is
the default setting.

● Blackout sets the fixture to black out whenever it is not receiving a DMX signal.

● Replay DMX Scene sets the fixture to play its stored stand-alone scene (see Capture

DMX Values below) when the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal. If no stand-alone
scene is stored in memory, the fixture will black out.

● Capture DMX Values takes a snapshot of the DMX values that are currently being
received and stores them in the fixture’s memory as its Captured scene. The fixture
will display this scene if it is set to Replay DMX Scene (see above) and is not receiving
a DMX signal.

You can select one of the four settings above using either the control panel or the
Special/Control DMX channel.

In the control panel, the commands for capturing and playing a stand-alone scene are
available in two places: Fixture Settings  No Signal and Manual Control  Manual
DMX. The commands are the same in both places.

Stand-Alone operation

If the fixture is set to Replay DMX Scene and if a stand-alone scene has been captured
and stored in its memory using the Capture DMX Values command, it will display its
stand-alone scene at all times when it is powered on but not receiving a DMX signal.
You can therefore use this setting if you want fixtures to automatically start stand-alone
operation when you apply power to them.

Performance settings

You can select between three different settings for the movement speed of all the
fixture’s mechanical effects (pan/tilt, color wheel, zoom, focus, etc.):

● In Normal mode, mechanical effects movement is set to give an optimum balance
between speed, quietness and smoothness. Normal is the default setting.

● In Fast mode, movement is set to maximum speed. This setting gives super-fast effects
but can result in higher noise levels.

● In Smooth mode, movement is set to optimize smoothness and give lowest-noise
performance. This setting gives extremely low noise and smooth performance but
effect movement will be slower than in Normal mode.

You can select Movement Performance using either the control panel or the
Special/Control DMX channel.

Fan modes

Two cooling fan modes let you give priority to lowest fan noise or most powerful cooling:

● Regulated sets fans to operate only at the speed that is necessary to cool the fixture
and the lamp. As fixture temperature increases, temperature regulation increases fan
speed to the level that is necessary.

● High speed mode suits operation in high ambient temperatures. Fans are set to
constant operation at high speed. You can use High speed mode to cool down a
fixture quickly after dousing the lamp or to help remove dust from cooling fans.

You can set the cooling fan mode using the control panel or the Special/Control DMX
channel.

In both fan modes, if fixture temperature reaches a dangerous level the fixture will
protect itself from damage by carrying out an emergency lamp shutdown. The
message HEAT will appear in the display and it will be impossible to restrike the lamp until
the temperature has fallen to a safe level.

Offsets

®

You can customize the Highlander Wash by creating offsets in the fixture’s effects,
including pan and tilt. Custom offsets let you adjust fixtures in multiple installations to
compensate for the different positions of the fixtures in the rig, for example.

Custom offsets are for temporary adjustment of individual effects. They are not
permanent fixture calibration values. Custom offset values are reset to zero if you apply
a Service  Advanced  Factory Backup command in the control panel. If you need
to adjust fixture calibration values, please contact GLP Service.

Changing settings by DMX

The Special/Control DMX channel lets you change fixture settings, power the lamp
on/off and perform a fixture reset from the control desk. To apply a command on this
channel you must hold the command for the time indicated in the DMX channel index
section at the end of this manual.

Control panel

Warning! DMX control is disabled when the control menus are active. Be

prepared for the head to move as soon as you exit the control menus.

The control panel and backlit graphic LCD display with self-charging battery allow you
to change fixture settings, view readouts and use utilities quickly and intuitively, even
when the fixture is disconnected from power.

To allow comfortable use of the control panel, pan and tilt are automatically disabled
for a few seconds if you turn the yoke manually. Pressing any button on the control
panel also disables pan and tilt for a few seconds. Pan and tilt remain disabled for as
long you are working in the control panel. If no button is pressed for a few seconds,
head movement is re-enabled with pan and tilt correction applied.

Default screen

When power is applied, the fixture resets. After the reset has completed, the default
screen appears in the display. The fixture asks you to press any key to unlock the control
panel and display. When you unlock the display you will see this screen:

● Pressing the BACK/ESC button on the left under Shortcut opens the quick menu with

the most frequently used settings.

● Pressing both buttons quickly at the same time flips the display.

Once you have opened the main menu or the quick menu, navigate and apply
commands as follows:

● Use the jog wheel to scroll up and down through menu items

● Use the ENTER button on the right to enter a submenu or confirm a selection.

● Use the BACK/ESC button on the left to exit a menu. If you have not confirmed a

selection with the ENTER button, no command will be applied.

Fixture overview

If you rotate the jog wheel a half-turn while the default screen is being displayed, the
display will change to a general fixture overview which gives you quick information
about software version, lamp hours, fixture settings etc. This feature is very helpful for
maintenance or service tasks.

Error codes

If the fixture detects an error it will display an error code in place of the DMX address. All
error codes except the HOT message (lamp hot, restrike impossible until lamp has
cooled down) are sticky: they will remain in the display until the next power cycle or
motor reset.

‘Status and error codes’ on page 24 gives a key to all the codes in the Highlander Wash.

Status and error codes

This section provides a key to the five-letter status and error codes used in the
Highlander Wash.

All states except HOT are sticky, meaning they are shown in the fixture’s control panel
display until the next power cycle or the next motor reset.

Motor errors are usually issued by a failed self-test (motor not connected, PCBA not
connected) or position feedback errors during a reset (motors with position feedback
only).

Code Notes

Overtemperature condition detected. Lamp housing temperature

* HEAT

* HOT

sensor exceeded threshold, or temperature switch tripped. Lamp will
be powered off and cooldown sequence will be initiated.

Lamp failed to strike. Possible causes: lamp was too hot, no lamp
installed, or ELD (Electronic Lamp Detector) connector is missing. In
addition, when you douse the lamp the fixture will display a HOT code
until it is cool enough to power down the fixture.
