Introduction
The Coloram II System consists of mechanical dowsers, scrolling color changers,
gobo changers and power supplies in a complete range of models offering ease of
setup and use.
The lightweight dowsers and 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.
The DMX512 control signal from the lighting board is connected to the power supply
and can continue on to more Coloram II Power Supplies or other DMX controlled
devices. The power supply sends both power and control signal on a single cable
eliminating the need for a separate power cable for each dowser.
The Coloram II System is equipped with the Intelligent Diagnostic System (IDS).
Status information is sent from each of the Eclipse II Dowsers and Coloram II Color
Changers to the Coloram II Power Supply.
Caution: The Coloram II System is not compatible with The Forerunner System.
Do not connect Coloram II Color Changers to Forerunner Power Supplies, or
Forerunner Color Changers to Coloram II Power Supplies. Damage from such
action will not be covered by the Coloram II or Forerunner warranties.
