GoboSource-F-Series-Line-Projectors-PRODUCT

This is a supplemental user manual for F-Series Line Projectors that have color switching. Line colors and sequences can be manually set and remain in memory, or they can automatically switch via switches or a 0-10V control signal.

Description

Each RGY line projector incorporates a control board for color-changing functions. The control board is configured with two buttons: M (mode) and S (speed). There are two inputs to the control board: switching and variable voltage. Both inputs are wired to the control panel, switch contact in the front, along with the M and S buttons, and variable 0- 10V contact in the rear.

WARNING
Applying voltage to the switch contact input will damage the control module. Only the 0-10VDC input is configured for variable voltage.

Specifications

  • Model: ECO Lines F80/F150 RGY
  • Color: Red, Green, Yellow
  • Control: Manual and 0-10V control signal
  • Inputs: Switching and variable voltage
  • Buttons: M (mode) and S (speed)

Color mode configuration

Switch voltage is designed to be configured with a switch such as a motion sensor and will alternate between selected modes based on the switch state. Variable voltage enables the projector to change between color presets based on the input voltage.

Switch Voltage
This mode alternates between selected colors based on the switch state. Connect a switch like a motion sensor to control the color change.

Variable Voltage
By applying variable voltage in the range specified, the projector will change between different color presets. Follow the voltage ranges for each color preset.

Setting Color Sequences
Use the M (mode) and S (speed) buttons to manually set and store color sequences in memory. Press M to change the mode and S to adjust the speed.

Avoiding Damage
Ensure that only the 0-10VDC input is used for variable voltage to prevent damaging the control module.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use any switch for the switch voltage input?
A: It is recommended to use a switch like a motion sensor that is compatible with the device to avoid any damage.

Q: How do I reset the color sequences?
A: To reset the color sequences, press and hold both M and S buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
