Data Cables

The luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA
THRU (out) applications. DATA IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and
DATA THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When purchasing or
constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used,
but also quality cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system. Your cabling should meet
the following USITT DMX specification requirements:

• Suitable for use with EIA485 (RS485) operation at 250k baud.

• Characteristic impedance 85-150 ohms, nominally 120 ohms.

• Low capacitance.

• Two twisted pairs.

• Foil and braid shielded.

• 24 AWG min. gauge for runs up to 1000 feet (300m).

• 22 AWG min. gauge for runs up to 1640 feet (500m).
Note: Microphone type cables and other general purpose, two-core audio or signal

cables are not suitable for use with DMX512.

Refer to the USITT Recommended Practice for DMX512 guide for additional
information regarding DMX512 systems. How to obtain a copy is detailed in

“Additional Support and Documentation” on page 1.

Floor Mounting the Luminaire

The luminaire enclosure is sufficient to stabilize the luminaire in a floor installation,
provided that the mounting surface is flat and sturdy.

Connecting Data and Power

A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.
Note: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system

or console may require fewer luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your
console documentation for more information.

To connect power and data:

1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN
connector.

2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to
DATA IN connectors of remaining luminaires in link.

3. At last luminaire in link, install terminator at DATA THRU connector.
(Luminaire(s) and other devices on the same DMX chain may not function
properly without termination.)

4. Connect AC Input Cable connector to power input source.

5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so that they will not
interfere with luminaire head and yoke movement.

Powering Up

Power-Up Procedure

Since Lamp On is the default st ate, the la mp will strike when the lumina ire is powered
up for the first time. When AC power is a pplied, the luminaire will imm ediately 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 DMX­defined 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 60), 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.

INSTALLATION : POWERING UP

2

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:

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.

Align Lamp for Peaked or Flat Field

The design of the VL2201 optical system is based on a peaked field. A peaked field is
one where the intensity of the beam is greater at the center of the beam than at the
perimeter (see “Photometric” on page 105 for photometric data). At this position, the
center beam intensity is maximized. The beam fall off ratio can be reduced by
repositioning the lamp by adjusting the focus knob. This results in a beam with a
flattened appearance.

The design of the VL2202 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 either the peaked or flat field (depending on the luminaire model). 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:

1. Using internal menus select Lamp test to set beam. See “Lamp” on page 73
for more information. (If using console, set intensity to 100%, open beam
size iris and focus for hard edge.)

2. Position beam on a white wall at a distance of 10' to 20'.

3. At backcap, using Vertical and Horizontal knobs, adjust hot spot to center of
beam.

4. Using Focus knob, do one of the following:
a. For peaked field (VL2201), adjust hot spot for maximum center beam

intensity.

b. For flat field (VL2202), adjust beam for

best spot.

Set DMX Mode

The VL2000 Series luminaires provide four modes for DMX operation. The mode is
set using the luminaire’s Menu Display.

• 8-bit Standard - provides one 8-bit DMX channel for control of each luminaire

function.

• 8-bit Enhanced - provides additional channels for timing control.

• 16-bit Standard - provides 16-bit control for pan/tilt.

• 16-bit Enhanced (default) - provides 16-bit control for pan/tilt and additional

channels for timing control.

To set the mode:

1. Press [Menu].

2. Press [Up] or [Down] button until DMX appears. Press [Enter].

3. Press [Up] or [Down] to until desired mode is reached (8, 16, E 8, or E

16). Press [Enter] to set mode.

See “DMX Modes” on page 29 for more information.
Note: Which mode is used may also be determined by the profile available in the

DMX control console. For best control, response, smoothest movement and transi­tions, the 16-bit Enhanced mode is recommended. The 8-bit modes are supported for
older style consoles with a limited number of DMX channels available, and if profiles
are not supported. The 16-bit mode is supported for DMX consoles that do not provide
access to the timing channels through either their architecture or their profiles. For
more information see “Luminaire Timing Channel Information” on page 36.

Addressing

Program Starting Address

The address setting for DMX console or Virtuoso console controlled systems is
entered using the Menu Display. (Refer to Chapter 4: Menu System for detailed
instructions.)

The luminaire retains the DMX and Virtuoso addresses that are stored even if power is
removed.

Note: Refer to your console operating instructions for specific information regarding
its addressing requirements.

Program a DMX or Virtuoso starting address:

1. Press [Menu].

2. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows until ADDR (Address) appears. Press [Enter].

3. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows to access DMX (DMX console control) or VIRT
(Virtuoso console control). Press [Enter].

4. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows to enter starting address.

5. Press [Enter] to set.

Program Starting Address W ithout Calibrating the
Luminaire

It is possible to bypass the calibration sequence and go directly to the Menu Display
programming in order to pre-program an address setting.

Luminaire Timing

Luminaire Timing Channel Information

Timing channel control has been developed to improve the timed moves of certain
groups of parameters. We provide 3 timing channels, one for Focus (Pan and Tilt), one
for color parameters and one for beam parameters. Timing channels support time
values of up to six minutes.

A timing value of zero is full speed. A time value of 100% (or 255 in DMX) causes the
associated parameter(s) to follow cue fade time (console time) rather than the timing
channel.

The particular storing syntax for your console, as well as instructions on how to write
part cues, can be found in the operation manual for that console.

To use these channels, you must:

1. Create the cue, including color, gobo, edge, diffusion, etc.

2. Decide which fixtures and which parameter groups will use timing chan­nels.(Timing channels work only if all channels affected by the timing
channel are in the same part of the cue.)

3. Assign a value to the particular timing channel(s) you wish to use (for timi ng
information see chart on next page).

4. Create a part cue containing only the attributes chosen and their associated
timing channels. Store this part cue with a fade time of zero seconds.

5. Store the rest of the cue using console timing.

Note: Avoid changing timing channel values in a fading cue. This can cause unex­pected behavior in the luminaire as the timing channel value is updated over time.
Timing channel values and the final destination of the parameters affected by the
timing channel should always be sent in a zero count.

Timing channels can be set in either % or 0-255 (DMX) modes, with the following
values assigned. See chart on the next page.

Note: We recommend profiles set timing channels in extended modes to a default
value of 255 (full speed).

4. Download will proceed. One of the following will occur:

Correct

Luminaire’s green Rx LED will blink rapidly and its menu will display
number of blocks received (this number will vary depending on software
version being downloaded). This indicates that data is being sent from PC to
luminaire. However, if display does not show blocks as they are received,
this indicates that the version being downloaded matches the one already
installed or that the luminaire type does not match.

Trouble

If luminaire’s green Rx LED does not blink rapidly and its menu does not
display blocks, this indicates that no data is being received. (Check cable
connections, port selection, etc. and try again.)

Note: Without any data connected, the normal standby cycle of the Rx LED is 2 sec
on, 2 sec off.

5. Once download is complete, luminaire will automatically recalibrate. Once
recalibration is complete, luminaire is ready for operation with its new
software version.

Transferring Software From Luminaire to Luminaire

It is possible to transfer specific software versions between luminaires. As in the case
of installing new software versions, multiple luminaires can be programmed at the
same time if they are data linked together (refer to “Connecting Data and Power” on

page 20), however a maximum of 32 luminaires can be updated at once.

The transfer process can be used to download an earlier or later version of the VL2000
Luminaire Software to other connected luminaires of the same type.

Hardware Requirements

Data cables used in this process must have two twisted pairs and a shield. It is also
recommended that cables meet all other USITT DMX specification requirements.
Refer to “Data Cables” on page 13.

A loopback connector is required at the final luminaire in the link and a female
termination connector is required at the “master” luminaire. Refer to page 15 for more
information regarding the construction of these connectors.

Transfer Procedure

This procedure is used to transfer software versions between VL2000 series
luminaires of the same type.

1. At last luminaire in link, install loopback connector into DATA THRU XLR
connector.

2. At master luminaire (first luminaire in link), install female termination
connector into DATA IN XLR connector.

VARI❋LITE - VL2200 SERIES SPOT LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL

Correct

The receiving luminaire’s green Rx LED will blink rapidly and its menu will
display number of blocks received (this number will vary depending on
software version being downloaded). This indicates that data is being sent
from luminaire to luminaire. However, if display does not show blocks as
they are received, this indicates that the version being downloaded matches
the one already installed or that the luminaire type does not match.

Trouble

If the receiving luminaire’s green Rx LED does not blink rapidly and its
menu does not display blocks, this indicates that no data is being received.
(Check cable connections, Loopback Connector, etc. and ensure ALL
cabling is the 5-conductor type.)

Note: Without any data connected, the normal standby cycle of the Rx LED is 2 sec
on, 2 sec off.

Note: The number of blocks displayed will be less in a luminaire-to-luminaire
download than in a PC-to-luminaire download for the same software version.

8. Once download is complete, luminaire will automatically recalibrate. Once
recalibration is complete, luminaire is ready for operation with its new
software version.

Verify software version at luminaire:

1. At Menu Display, press [Menu].

2. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows until Fixt (Fixture) appears. Press [Enter].

Operation

What Is the Menu System?

The menu system is a programmable set of commands used to configure, address,
operate, and test the luminaire. The menu system is controlled at the Menu Display
available at the enclosure input panel.

MENU SYSTEM : OPERATION

4

Menu Display

The menu system has seven main functions which are referred to as “1st level.” Within
these main functions, there can be up to four addition al sub-func tions (leve ls 2 thru 5) ,
making five total levels.

Controls Operation

The menu system is controlled by four buttons. These buttons function as follows:

[Menu] button. Displays the menu, or if at first level, the current address.
[Enter] button. Selects the current menu option or stores current data value.
[Up] arrow. Scrolls menu options upward or increases current data value.*
[Down] arrow. Scrolls menu options downward or decreases current data value.*

Up / Increase *

VARI❋LITE - VL2200 SERIES SPOT LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL

Cues and Sequences

Overview

The luminaire has the ability to store and playback cues independent of a console.
Cues are stored as numbers from 1 to 99 by using the Cue (Cue Processing) functions
available in the menu system. This also allows you to create your own test sequences
to be played back on a group of luminaires.

Refer to “Menu System Functions” on page 60 for a complete breakdown of Cue and
Man (Manual Commands) functions.

Storing

The luminaire is able to store its current position into a cue; this informati on can be set
via a console or by using the menu system Man (Manual Commands) function.

Playback

Cues can be joined into a sequence to be played back without a console. However,
only one sequence can run at a time.

A sequence can either replay the cues stored in each luminaire or replay the cues
stored in a master luminaire. Play ing a cue se quence for a ll luminaire s in the data link
is triggered by a “master” luminaire using the PSEQ (Play Sequence) command. The
cue follow time (FLTM) is taken from the luminaire that is running the sequence (it is
possible to view the follow time of each cue by playing the cue PCUE and then
viewing the cue follow time FLTM ). A playback sequence can be set to start
automatically after power up by setting the Auto (AutoPlay) feature to ON.

Note: Up to 32 luminaires can be linked together to run a sequence if they are data
linked together. Refer to “Connecting Data and Power” on page 20.

Hardware Requirements

Data cables used in the multi-luminaire playback feature must have two twisted pairs
and a shield. It is also recommended that cables meet all other USITT DMX
specification requirements. Refer to “Data Cables” on page 13.

Note: A loopback connector is required at the final luminaire in the link and a female
termination connector is required at the “master” luminaire. Refer to page 15 for more
information regarding the construction of these connectors.

Cue Operations

The following section provides instructions for performing cue, sequence, and
playback operations.

Note: The Mod, Del, PCue, PSEQ commands will all display "---" if no cues
have been stored.

Note: After 10 seconds of inactivity at the display, it will change to the default state
showing the address.

To use the menus:

The data stored by the luminaire is “last takes precedence.” This means the last
command received by the luminaire will be the basis of the cue to be stored.

To clear all input data and timing values from previous tests or cues, cycle power to
the luminaire with DMX data cables disconnected. This will reset parameter’s data
and timing values to defaults.
