IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual gives step-by-step instructions for preparation, setup and operation of the Coloram II Power Supply.
There is a potential risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons if the product is not used as instructed.
This product is to be used in an indoor environment only and is not intended for residential use.

Introduction
The Coloram II System consists of scrolling color changers, mixing color changers, dowsers, other products and power supplies in a wide range of models offering ease of setup and use. Its color changing capability and DMX compatibility affords the designer wide capability and versatility. The lightweight color changers slide easily into the gel frame holder of the light fixture. The compact power supplies attach easily to the truss of the lighting rig or mount into a 19-inch rack.
The Coloram II System
The Coloram II System consists of one or more Color Changers or other components and a remote power supply. The DMX512 control signal from the lighting board is connected to the power supply and can continue on to more Coloram II Power Supplies or other DMX-controlled devices. The power supply sends both power and control signal on a single cable eliminating the need for a separate power cable for each color changer.
The Coloram II System also allows you to control the color changer fan speed via one or multiple DMX channels on the lighting console.
The Coloram II System is equipped with the Intelligent Diagnostic System (IDS). Status information is sent from each of the Coloram II Color Changers to the Coloram II Power Supply.
Caution: The Coloram II System is not compatible with the Forerunner System. Do not connect Coloram II Color Changers to Forerunner Power Supplies, or Forerunner Color Changers to Coloram II Power Supplies. Damage from such action will not be covered by the Coloram II or Forerunner warranties.

The Coloram II System Components
Color changers and other components
The color changers set the position of the gelstring via a signal from the lighting console. The control signal and DC power (24 VDC) are both supplied in one cable connecting the color changers to the power supply.
Other Coloram II products include the Eclipse Dowser, the CXI Color Changer and others. Other products are continually being added to the Coloram II family to expand its capabilities.
Refer to the user manual of the various Coloram II products for detailed operating information on those products.

Power Supply
The power supply converts the DMX512 signal level from the lighting console into Coloram I/Coloram II control signal which it then sends to each color changer along with 24 volts DC. The power supply features a DMX bypass relay to pass the DMX signal to the DMX output connector in the event of AC power loss.
The power supply features an 8 character LED display and three selector buttons. This user interface is used to select the starting DMX channel, set operating modes, send remote commands to the color changers and view color changer status.
Coloram II Cable
The Coloram II Cable connects the Coloram II Power Supply outputs to the Coloram II Color Changers or other products and provides them with power and control signal. The Coloram II Cable uses 4-pin XLR connectors on either end and consists of two 14 AWG conductors and a 22 AWG twisted, shielded pair.
Note: Colroam II Cable is used in the Coloram II System and in the Forerunner System. It may be referred to as either Coloram cable or Forerunner cable.

Menu Details
The following is an explanation of functions and optional settings which are accessed via the various menus displayed.
POWER UP SCREENS
When you connect the power supply to AC power, the following screens will appear on the display.
1. The INTRODUCTION screen will scroll through the software version and other information.
2. The ROLLCALL screen shows when the power supply interrogates the color changers and other components connected to the power supply. This is the time the color changers "check in" with the power supply.
7
RUN SCREEN LOOP
The display alternates between three screens. The first is "1 -- X" where X is highest DMX channel used by a color changer (or other
component) connected to the power supply. If talkback is ON, X will be the highest DMX channel used by the talkback function.
The second screen is "DMX OK" if the DMX signal is being properly received. It is
"NO DMX” if the DMX signal is not being properly received.
The third screen is " *ALERTS* " if there are any alert conditions to report.
ALERTS / ERROR MESSAGES
The power supply will display "alert messages" indicating a condition a service person may want to know about.
The alert messages and meanings are as follows: Note: the "xxx" after each message is the DMX channel to which the message applies. "Pstn xxx" - Gel position error - a difference exists between the commanded gel
position and the actual gel position. "VDC xxx" - Color changer voltage is below 17 volts DC. "Shut xxx" - Color changer reports a SHUTDOWN condition (will not respond to
position commands because the voltage dropped below 15 VDC). "Drop xxx" - Color changer is disconnected and there is a loss of communication - it
previously reported a status but is no longer doing so. "Motr xxx" - The color changer's motor cannot move the gel string. "ChErr xxx" - There is a channel assignment problem with the color changer set to start
on channel xxx. For example, some of the multiple channels used by the
color changer fall past the last channel available on the power supply. "Overload" - This is displayed when the power supply has not yet reached its current
limit, a unit "checks in" which has a current requirement at least 2 times
that of a Coloram II and the resulting total current load on the power
supply is over the power supply's limit. This last unit will remain checked
in. However, no more units will be allowed to check in.
