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.

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.

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.
It is important to note that if the power supply is at its current limit (but not exceeded), it will not "check in" any other units and the "Overload" message will not be displayed. "DMX Chan"-This is displayed if the DMX source is sending less than 512 channels and the last DMX channel sent is less than the last DMX channel in the power supply channel range. "Fan Chan" - This is similar to the "DMX Chan" explanation above but applies to the fan DMX channel or fan DMX channel block.
DCV 24.0 - This displays the DC voltage at the color changer. [ /Enter ] Pos 000 - This displays the actual position of the gelstring. If the color changer is moving toward FL, an arrow pointing to the right (>) will be displayed. If the color changer is moving toward 00, an arrow pointing to the left (<) will be displayed. [ /Enter ] Fan NORM - This displays the fan status; HI, LOW, or OFF. [ /Enter ] Mtr NORM - This indicates if the motor speed is set to normal or low. [ /Enter ] Ver x.
Ver x.x - This tells you the software version installed in the color changer set to the channel you are looking at. [ /Enter ] Identify - Pressing [ - ] will cause the color changer, whose status you are viewing, to initialize. For the Goboram II: GoboRAM - Indicates there is a gobo changer addressed to this channel. [ /Enter ] DCV 24.0 - This displays the DC voltage at the gobo changer. [ /Enter ] Pos 000 - This displays the position of the gobo section channel.
Identify - Pressing [ - ] will cause the gobo changer, whose status you are viewing, to initialize. SETUP This menu is used to display and select the starting DMX channel as well as other operating modes. Pressing [ - ] at any of the following options will bring up a question mark (?) behind the option. Pressing [ + ] and [ - ] will increment and decrement numbers such as channels or toggle options such as on or off. Pressing [ /Enter ] will confirm your selection and the question mark will go away.
The following two screens will be displayed only if the DMX fan option is turned on. [ /Enter ] FChn 025 - This allows you to set the DMX fan control channel (ONE or first channel of the BLOCK) to any channel between, and including, 001 and 512. [ /Enter ] Foff OFF - When turned on, this feature allows you to turn the fans in the color changers off from the lighting console. This is done by sending a level of 8% to the fan control channel.
If an alert has been triggered with the presence of DMX signal, you will see the display (the second - changes to a + ) as follows: 001 - + 048 If an alert has been triggered without the presence of DMX signal, the display will look as follows: 001 + + 048 [ /Enter ] Reset: This option allows you to reset all parameters to factory default. This resets all parameters found in the setup menu, the display to read out in %, and erases all color changer/gobo changer status information.
Pos - This allows you to move the gelstring or gobo carrier independently from the lighting console. [ /Enter ] Fan - This allows you to change the fan speed independently from the lighting console. [ /Enter ] Mtr - This allows you to limit the top speed at which the motor will run. This applies to Coloram II. Installing / Connecting the Coloram II Power Supply To get your Coloram II Power Supply up and running, follow these hookup and checkout procedures. 1.
3. Connect the Power Supply to AC power Plug the AC cord into a non-dimmed power circuit. The power supply automatically accommodates 100 - 132 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 170 - 240 VAC (50/60 Hz).
