Pan and Tilt Parameters
The SolaSpot LED fixture has a 540° pan range and a 250° tilt range. Two DMX channels provide
16-bit adjustment to a fraction of a degree for pan and tilt position.
An MSpeed function is available for Pan and Tilt parameters when the MSpeed parameter. For
information on implementing MSpeed, see MSpeed (Motor Speed) on page 48.
Note: Optical encoders for pan and tilt instantly correct the fixture’s position if the
fixture is jarred from its programmed position. If a physical obstruction
prevents the fixture from correcting its position, the fixture “times out” to
prevent wear on the motors. If the fixture has timed out, remove the
obstruction and home the fixture to return it to normal operation.
