2.4 Gel loading
Changing the gel string on the Chroma-Q Universal is not difficult, but it may take some time & practice to accomplish, if the
user is not familiar with the unit.
There are two methods of loading gel strings on the Chroma-Q Universal, manually or using the power assisted loading
method (EZ Load).
Note: It is suggested that new users of this product load the gel strings by the manual method until they become familiar
with the units.
To change the gel string you will need:
1 x Gel string for a Chroma-Q Universal
1 x Roll of flat back adhesive tape 25mm / 1" wide ("Artists" tape)
1 x Phillips No.1 screwdriver
Preparation
1) Unplug the unit & remove it from the lighting fixture to which it is attached. Using the screwdriver, remove the four
M3 x 4mm screws holding the front cover onto the unit & carefully remove the front cover.
2) Remove all pieces of the old gel string if necessary. This may involve unwinding the gel from the Take-Up Reels
(TUR). Exercise caution to avoid damaging the gel transport mechanism.
Replacing the gel string (manual mode)
Note: See also the drawing section of this manual.
1) Place the unit on a flat surface with the motor/fan/electronics section on your right-hand side (assuming you are
loading the gel string from the 'tail' end, reverse the position if starting with the 'leader' end of the string).
2) Using 25mm/1" long pieces of tape, attach the leading edge of the gel string to the plastic TUR at the top &
bottom of the string, ensuring that the gel is centred on the TUR. Move the gel string to the side & attach the other
side string to the TUR with tape (a black line has been scribed along the TUR to assist with this).
