Replacing Rotating Gobos

The SolaSpot fixture is designed with removable rotating gobo apertures. This allows a gobo to be

changed easily without removing the wheel from the unit.

Note: It is imperative that gobo holders are removed and replaced one at a

time. One of the holders has a homing magnet and must be installed

into the correct location. Failing to do so will result in gobo index

homing errors.

To change a rotating gobo:

1. Remove one of the bezel covers and set the tilt

lock to stablize the unit in a convenient

position.

2. Rotate the wheel to the desired gobo.

3. Push up on the exposed tab of the litho holder.

4. Grasp the litho holder and remove it from the

wheel.

5. Lift the spring and remove it with the aperture

ring and the gobo.

6. Position the gobo into the aperture, so that

when it is placed back in the wheel, the coated

side will be away from the lamp.

Note Install the litho according to the

manufactures specifications. High End

Systems lithos are installed with the

coated side facing away from the light

source.

7. Replace the ring and spring.

8. Install the gobo holder into the wheel by lining up the inner tab of the gobo holder to the

tensioner on the wheel.

9. Push the gobo holder into the wheel and insure the holder sits flat on the wheel.

10. After replacing the gobo, clean it by using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and a mild glass

cleaning solution (containing no ammonia).
