terminator attached to its Data Out connector. You can construct terminators by following the instructions below: 1. Obtain a male XLR connector. 12 0 Ω 2. Disassemble the connector. 3. Solder a 120 ohm resistor, minimum of 1/4 watt, between pins 2 and 3. 4. Reassemble the connector. 5. Install the terminator in the Data Out port of the last device in the link. Figure 2-4. Constructing a data cable terminator. Setting up the Link Follow the guidelines below when setting up the DMX link: 1.
Linking the Fixtures to the Controller Starting with the controller, link fixtures using the procedure below. 1. Consult the documentation provided with the controller for the procedure to connect XLR cable to its Data Out connector. 2. Connect the female end of the XLR cable from the controller to the first fixture’s male Data In connector. 3. Connect the male end of another XLR cable to the first fixture’s female Data Out connector. 4.

Make sure you terminate the last fixture in the link. Mounting the Fixture You will need: - one 1/4” allen wrench - clamps and safety cable as described in this section Your fixture is designed to be mounted in any orientation: you can even hang it with its aperture pointing straight down or stand it on its end handles.
(3) Mount the fixtures and controllers in a location that is away from direct heat and protected from moisture. Do not mount on a flammable surface. (4) Maintain minimum distance of 1.0 meter (3.28 feet) from combustible materials. (5) Observe minimum distance to lighted objects of 1.0 meter (3.28 feet). This means the fixture must be positioned at least 1 meter away from the object it is illuminating. (6) Use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture.
page 1-2. You can order deluxe C-clamps for a two-inch truss from your High End Systems dealer/distributor (part number 55000004). Also see the section titled “Optional Accessories” on page 1-5. 4. Make sure the fixture cannot be rotated all the way around (360o). Allowing the fixture to rotate 360o could loosen the clamp mounting bolts. Note Because of the variety of conceivable lighting designs, you should consider the procedure below as a suggested guideline only. High End Systems, Inc.
4. Tighten the clamp(s) firmly to the yoke and to the support. 5. Loop one or more suitable safety cables around the support and the top of the yoke (see Figure 2-8).

See user ma nua l for listings. Figure 2-8. Always use a safety cable when mounting the fixture. 6.
Hanging the Fixture Straight Down You can mount Technobeam with the mirror head perpendicular to the ground for projection onto a stage. This orientation also allows you to economize truss space by hanging fixtures side by side close to each other. You must observe all of the precautions listed on the previous pages regarding clamps and safety cables. Caution You should adjust the yoke position while the fixture is resting on a flat surface; otherwise, the fixture may be damaged if it slides backward. 1.
Configuring the Fixture This section explains how to configure your fixture for operation by selecting a fixture type and control method and assigning a fixture address (either a DMX start channel or fixture number). You must select a fixture type and control method and assign a fixture address if you want to control the fixture with a DMX 512-compatible controller.
• • TB I - Technobeam iris protocol - uses 18 DMX channels per fixture. This protocol should only be used with fixtures that have an iris. TLCD - Technopro LCD protocol - uses 18 DMX channels per fixture. This protocol should only be used with Technopro fixtures that are controlled with an LCD controller.
To select the fixture number control method: 1. Press and hold the
link without a DMX splitter will eventually deteriorate the digital signal. The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link. When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception to the non-overlapping rule is if the fixtures are the same type (for example two Technobeams set to iris protocol) and share the entire channel range.
2. Press the button to enter the “ADDR” menu. 3. Using the and arrow buttons, scroll to the desired DMX start channel and press the button to select the desired DMX start channel. t Note You must assign a unique fixture address to each Studio Spot 250 or Studio Color 250 fixture that you wish to respond independently to controller commands.
For example, in Table 2-4, if you assigned fixture number 2 (F 02) to the Technobeam set to reduced protocol, it would assume that all other fixtures on the link are also using 14 DMX channels, so it will erroneously try to receive channel 15 as the first channel in its channel range. This would create channel overlapping because fixture number 1 (Technobeam iris protocol) is already using channel 15 in its 18channel range.
• • Attaching a High End Systems upload dongle. You will need an upload dongle, 386-based (or faster) computer, MS DOS® version 3.3 (or later), and one MB of free disk space. To obtain an upload dongle (with installation and operation instructions), contact your HIgh End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Contacting High End Systems” on page Intro-4). Crossloading software between fixtures.
7. Press to start the crossload. The Transmit LED on the crossloading fixture will remain ON (or flicker) during the crossload. The Transmit and Receive LEDs on other Technobeam fixtures on the link will flicker while the crossload is in progress. 8. When the crossload has finished successfully, the following will happen: • 9. DONE will appear briefly in the LED display of the crossloading fixture, followed by MENU which will alternate with the fixture’s fixture number or DMX start channel.
b. 2. Make sure the power cord cap is wired correctly. See “Installing the Power Cord Cap” on page 1-7. Cause: One or more fuses have failed. Solution: Follow the instructions in the section titled “Replacing Fuses” on page 6-2 to inspect the fuses and replace them if necessary. 3. Cause: Bad lamp. Solution: Replace with a new or known good lamp. Lamp shuts off Possible causes and solutions: 1. Cause: Over-temperature.
Fixture is not responding to control commands—“Receive” LED does not blink Possible causes and solutions: 1. Cause: Faulty XLR cable. Solutions: Do one or both of the following: a. b. 2. Replace XLR cables going to the fixture’s Data In and Data Out connectors with known good cables. Verify cable integrity using cable test equipment. Cause: There is no controller attached to the link, or the controller is not generating any output. Solution: Verify that a controller is attached to the link.
Solution: Make sure all dichroics and lithos meet the specifications listed in the section titled “Specifications” on page 6-4. Lithos or dichroic filters are cracking Possible causes and solutions: 1. Cause: Improper installation. Solution: a. b. c. 2. General: Make sure you are using dichroics and lithos that meet the specifications shown in the section titled “Specifications” on page 6-4.
Fixture will not accept software upload or crossload Possible causes and solutions: 1. Cause: Incorrect Status Cue configuration. Solution: Consult the Status Cue User Manual to make sure you are selecting the correct fixtures to upload, that you have the correct software file, and are using the correct DMX channels for the fixtures. 2. Cause: No return communication (indicated by Transmit LEDs OFF for all fixtures on the link when you are trying to perform the crossload or upload).
protocol, but the controller is sending Technoray channel values, none of the values you send from the controller will have the expected effect. Continuing the same example, sending a value on channel 8 (which is effect wheel spin speed for Technoray) will result in selecting a rotating litho wheel position on Technobeam. 2. Is more than one device affected? If so, and the devices are addressed sequentially on the link, check to make sure addressing was done properly on all affected devices.
EMEM Ack This error may occur during data storage when an attempted write has taken too long. Attempt the operation again. If this message reoccurs, contact High End Systems Customer Service in one of the ways shown in the section titled “Contacting High End Systems” on page Intro-4. EMEM [message] (Memory error.) This error indicates the fixture was unable to retrieve one of the following from non-volatile storage: • • • • • • • • • • • • • CHNL—the fixture’s DMX start channel.
Lamp The word LAMP can appear on the display in two situations: one is an error; the other is normal. • • Normal: LAMP will be displayed when the fixture attempts to strike the lamp during fixture reset and homing. This is normal. Not normal: If the lamp is running, and for some reason— probably an electrical event—the fixture’s operating code loses track of the lamp status, the lamp will turn off and the word “LAMP” will appear in the LED display.
Over Temp The internal fixture temperature has exceeded the maximum allowable temperature. The lamp and the motors will shut down. 1. The primary external cause is high ambient air temperature. The fixture’s maximum ambient temperature rating is shown in the section titled “Environmental Specifications” on page 1-5. Unplug the fixture and wait 5 to 10 minutes for it to cool before plugging it back in. 2. If allowing the fixture to cool does not solve the problem, check to make sure the fan is working.

The following sensor information is available: • • • • LTR - view whether the litho rotate (within the wheel) sensor is obstructed (“OFF”) or is not obstructed (“ON”) LTO - view whether the litho wheel sensor is obstructed (“OFF”) or is not obstructed (“ON”) COLR -view whether the color wheel sensor is obstructed (“OFF”) or is not obstructed (“ON”) FX - view whether the effects wheel sensor is obstructed (“OFF”) or is not obstructed (“ON”) To view the specified sensor information: 1.
To reset the current lamp hours to zero: 1. Press and hold the
Editing or Creating an On-Board Memory Scene (EDIT) This menu item allows you to edit or create a scene using the fixture’s on-board scene memory. Using this menu option, you can change the value of any construct in any of the on-board scenes. For detailed information on editing or creating a scene, see Chapter 4. To edit/create a scene: 1. Press and hold the
DMX controller to create a scene, then save (capture) the scene into a fixture’s presets to play back the scene without the controller. After creating a scene with your DMX controller, follow the instructions below for each fixture on which you want to capture preset scenes: 1. Press and hold the

Programming Overview This chapter explains how to create and play back scenes using the fixture’s onboard 16-scene memory, and has a step-by-step example. More information about preset programming can be found on the Technobeam Quick Reference Card (p/n 60600109, v1.0 or later). What is a “Scene”? A scene (which can also be called a page or look) is a combination of the constructs you configure. A construct is a unique fixture feature—for example, focus, color or rotating effects.
Preset Playback Options Technobeam offers the following two options for use with preset programming: • • Preset capture: Use any DMX 512-compatible controller to create a scene(s) that can then be saved into the fixture’s own presets and later recalled in stand-alone operation without the controller. The only constructs that cannot be captured in this way are crossfade (XFAD) and delay (DLAY); you must configure them manually on each fixture.
Selecting Constructs and Values The step-by-step example in the next section suggests particular constructs and values that will give you an idea of how the fixture works. You can choose different constructs or values using the information in Appendix E.
4. Press , then use the and arrow keys to select ON. 5. Press . The lamp is now ON, although it might not be visible if the dim flags (also called shutter or light gate) are closed. Opening the Shutter 1. Press and keep pressing the
11. If the flags are closed, repeat this procedure. 12. If the shutter is open and no light is exiting the fixture, the lamp is off. (The lamp is automatically turned off after a period of no activity.) In that case, turn the fixture OFF, wait a few minutes, then repeat the procedure in the section titled “Turning on the Lamp” on page 4-4. Positioning the Mirror 1. Use the and arrow keys to navigate to the PAN construct. 2.
Selecting a Color Wheel Pause Time 1. Use the and arrow keys to navigate to the COL construct. 2. Press , then use the and arrow keys to select a pause time (the higher the value, the longer the pause time). 3. Press to accept your selection. Selecting Effects Constructs 1. Use the and arrow keys to navigate to the FX construct. 2. Press , then use the and arrow keys to select any effects position other than FX 1 (open). 3.
3. Press to save your setting. Note The default unit of time is seconds, but you can change the units to either minutes or hours using the TIME construct on the PRST menu. Creating Scene 2 This section shows how to use the convenient scene copy feature to copy constructs and values from scene 1 to scene 2. Scene copy can greatly speed up the time required to program the fixture, especially for scenes that have minor variations in construct values. 1.
If preset playback was enabled when you powered the fixture OFF, preset playback restarts automatically when you power the fixture back ON again. You can disable preset playback at any time by selecting OFF from the PLAY menu. 1. Keep pressing the
1. One fixture must be set as fixture number 1 or at DMX start channel 1 as described in Chapter 2. Make sure no other fixture on the link is configured as fixture number 1 or at DMX start channel 1. 2. The fixture in Step 1 should be physically the first fixture in the link, as shown in Figure 4-3. The last fixture in the link must be terminated. 3. You can choose any fixture number or DMX start channel you want for any of the other fixtures on the link.
Adding Fixtures Once you have started synchronized preset playback on the link, you can add other fixtures to the link anytime you want. A fixture added after synchronized preset playback has begun will start playing the scene most closely matching the timeline set by the first fixture. (It will not necessarily begin with scene 1, and it might begin in the middle of a scene.
9. Press . The scene created on the controller is now stored in the selected scene number. 10. You will need to manually select values for the XFAD and DLAY constructs, since the controller does not transmit those constructs. Note If the scene you captured to was previously programmed, you will need to make that scene active in order to view the newly-captured scene for the first time. (To make the scene active, select the scene number from the EDIT menu.) 11.
Chapter 5 Using the Laser Aiming Device™ (LAD™) TM Safety Precautions ...........................................................................................5-2 Overview .........................................................................................................5-3 Recommended Laser Operation .........................................................5-3 Intended Audience .............................................................................5-3 Using the Laser Aiming Device ..........
Safety Precautions This section lists precautions you must follow anytime you are using the Laser Aiming Device™ (LAD™) for Technobeam. 1. CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. 2. Using the Laser Aiming Device with any fixture other than Technobeam may result in damage to both the laser and the fixture as well as exposure to laser radiation. 3. Do not point the laser at an audience. 4.
Overview The Technobeam LAD makes it easy for you to position the mirror during daylight or high ambient light conditions. This in turn allows you the additional flexibility to set up or verify mirror preset positions in conditions that would otherwise make positioning difficult or impossible. Recommended Laser Operation The most effective and efficient way to use the laser aiming device is with the fixture’s lamp off and dim flags (shutter) closed.
Laser aperture Figure 5-1. The laser light exits the through the same aperture as the light beam. The laser should ideally be no more than 2” (5 cm) directly above the center point of a perfectly round light beam, as shown in Figure 5-2: Ideal laser spot 2" (5 cm) max Figure 5-2. The ideal position of the laser is no more than 2” (5 cm) directly above the center point of a perfectly round light beam.
Controlling the Laser You can control the laser in one of three ways: • • • The fixture’s menu system: Edit one of the fixture’s sixteen onboard presets (scenes) using the PRST menu as described in the next section. Any DMX 512-compliant controller: See the section titled “DMX Control of the Laser” on page 5-5. The Technobeam LCD controller: See the controller’s user manual. Menu Control of the Laser Use the PRST menu to create scenes (presets) including the laser aiming device.
Troubleshooting If laser fails to illuminate, the most likely reasons are lack of power or a failed laser. Laser gradually loses power This is normal; over time, the laser will gradually lose power until it finally dims out entirely. If this is happening, contact High End Systems Customer Service in one of the ways shown in “Contacting High End Systems” on page Intro-4. Laser is out of position Align the laser as shown in the section titled “Technobeam Laser Aiming Device™” on page 6-19.
2. Check all wiring connections shown in Figure 5-4: LAD cables Figure 5-4. LAD wiring connections. 3. Check to make sure the cable labeled “LAD” is connected to the main circuit board (with the LED display). 4. Replace the access door, plug the fixture in and make sure you have enabled the laser as shown in the section titled “Controlling the Laser” on page 5-5. 5.
LAD circuit board Figure 5-5. The laser aiming device circuit board. 2. If the cable connections are good, contact High End Systems Customer Service in one of the ways shown in “Contacting High End Systems” on page Intro-4. Laser ON, Emission Indicator LED OFF The most likely reason is a faulty Emission Indicator LED. Contact High End Systems Customer Service as shown in “Contacting High End Systems” on page Intro-4.

F3 F2 F1 Figure 6-2. Locations of the three fuses on the circuit board. 4. Replace the access door and connect the fixture to a power supply. Replacing Wheel Components This section explains how to remove and replace individual components in the wheels. Follow the precautions listed in the section titled “Precautions” on page 6-2. Always heed the following precautions when handling and using dichroics, lithos and effects: • • Avoid touching the coated side of the glass.
Lithos • • • Diameter/image area: 0.996”/0.860” ± 0.005” (25 mm/22 mm ± 0.13 mm) Maximum thickness (rotating litho only): 0.105” ± 0.005” (2.7 mm ± 0.13 mm) Thickness (static litho only): 0.069” ± 0.010” (1.8 mm ± 0.25 mm) Rotating effects • • Diameter/image area: 1.43”/1.04” ± 0.010” (36 mm/26 mm ± 0.25 mm) Maximum thickness: 0.175” ± 0.010” (4.4 mm ± 0.25 mm) Reference Drawing Figure 6-3 shows the location of each wheel in the Technobeam fixture.
2. Push the dichroic you wish to replace toward the center of the wheel to free it from the two wheel tabs as shown in Figure 6-4. Figure 6-4. Push the dichroic toward the large retaining tab to free it from the wheel tabs. 3. Once the dichroic is free of the two wheel tabs, pull it out of the wheel. If you intend to reuse this dichroic, put it in a safe place where it will not get scratched. 4.
6. Install the new dichroic into its wheel by pushing it under the large retaining clip, then pull it up so it fits under the wheel tabs. Repeat the procedure for each dichroic you wish to replace. 7. Replace the access door shown in Figure 6-1 on page 6-3 unless there are other dichroics, lithos or effects you want to replace.
6. Reach in with your finger to remove the litho/effect and aperture ring (if any) from behind the spring. Litho 7. Aperture ring See one of the following: a. Rotating litho wheel: “Litho Installation Instructions” on page 6-9. b. Rotating effects wheel: “Replacing a Rotating Litho or Effect” on page 6-10. Removing a Static Litho 1. Rotate the wheel until the desired litho is easy to access. 2.
Litho Installation Instructions These instructions apply to installing either a rotating or a static litho in the rotating litho wheel. Improper installation can result in damage to the litho. • • • Custom multi-colored lithos in metal holder: See “Replacing a Custom Litho” on page 6-11. Etched pattern, no texture (LithoPatterns lithos): the coated side of the litho must face away from the lamp; face the uncoated (glass) side toward the lamp.
Replacing a Rotating Litho or Effect 1. 2. Carefully handling the litho/effect by its edges only, orient it as shown when you replace it: a. Rotating litho wheel: “Litho Installation Instructions” on page 6-9. b. Rotating effects wheel: Orient the textured side of the effect away from the lamp. If the effect does not have a texture (e.g., the frost filter, orientation is not important). If the litho/effect you are installing or replacing has an aperture ring, put the aperture ring on top of the litho.
Replacing a Custom Litho If you received a custom, multi-colored litho in an aluminum holder, you must install it with the litho facing toward the lamp (i.e., the flat side of the holder against the spring), as shown in Figure 6-12. Improper installation can damage the litho! Multi-color litho holder Spring Figure 6-12. Replacing a custom multi-colored litho in the metal holder. Replacing the Lamp You will need: – 250 watt, GY9.
(5) Hot lamp may be an explosion hazard. Do not open for 5 minutes after switching off. Wear eye and hand protection when relamping. (6) Never look directly at the lamp while lamp is on. (7) Disconnect power before re-lamping or servicing. 1. Unplug the fixture from the power source. 2. Fully back out the two lamp assembly screws shown in Figure 6-13. Figure 6-13. Loosening the lamp assembly screws gives you access to the fixture lamp. 3. Put on your eye and hand protection.
4. If you are replacing a lamp, grasp the lamp’s ceramic base and pull the old lamp straight up and out of the assembly when the assembly is free of the fixture, as shown in Figure 6-15: Figure 6-15. Pull straight up on the lamp, grasping its ceramic base, to remove it from the assembly. 5. Take the new or replacement lamp out of its container. Break the seal on the inner plastic container and remove the lamp. 6.
Figure 6-17. You can look at the lamp label text to make sure the lamp plate is oriented correctly; incorrect orientation can result in damage to the fixture and the lamp. 9. As you insert the lamp assembly, be careful not to crimp or trap the lamp wires and make sure the lamp is inserted into the reflector. 10. Firmly tighten the two lamp assembly screws to secure the assembly to the fixture.
6. Locate the two lamp optimization (adjust) screws (see Figure 6-18). Figure 6-18. Lamp optimization screws. 7. Loosen the two lamp optimization screws. 8. Look at the wall where the beam is projected and use the two optimization screws to adjust the lamp’s position within the fixture. 9.
Opening the Fixture Unplug the fixture from the power outlet and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes if it has been running recently. Remove the access door shown in Figure 6-19: Door retaining screw Access door Figure 6-19. Opening the fixture’s access door.

Locate the lens tube as shown in Figure 6-21: Lens tube Latches (4) Figure 6-21. The lens tube contains the zoom lenses.
6. Write down the position of each of the lenses in the lens tube. (Each position is numbered both on the lens tube cover and on the inside of the lens tube.) 7. Handle each lens carefully by its edges only. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the lenses. If necessary to remove built-up dirt and dust, use a mild glass cleaner (containing no ammonia). 8. Replace the lenses in the lens tube in the same positions as you removed them.
Technobeam Laser Aiming Device™ TM You might need to realign the laser periodically in order to maintain its optimal position—no more than 2” (5 cm) directly above the center point of the light beam. If you align the laser in this way, the path of the laser is parallel to the path of the light and will stay 2” (5 cm) above the center point of the beam at any throw distance or mirror position. You align the laser using the three mounting/alignment screws shown in Figure 6-27 on page 6-25.
4. Only qualified and trained employees approved by a laser safety officer should be assigned to install, adjust and operate the laser equipment. 5. When not in use, the laser (fixture) should be stored in a location where unauthorized personnel cannot gain access. 6. Do not stare directly into the beam and do not view the beam with optical instruments. 7. The laser path should be located well above or below eye level.
Alignment Procedure The alignment procedure that follows takes advantage of Technobeam’s built-in program storage capability to turn the laser ON. 1. Follow the instructions in Chapter 1 to select a voltage setting and install a power cord cap, if you have not already done so. 2. Physically orient the fixture as shown in Figure 6-25 (the farther away the wall is, the more accurate your positioning will be): White wall Stand fixture on its end handles Sturdy, flat surface such as a table 10 ft.

Appendix A DMX Protocols General Information The information in this section applies to all of the protocols listed in this Appendix (except where noted). Rounding Conventions The values displayed in the columns “Value (dec.)”, “Value (%)” and “Value (hex)” in the following tables may vary slightly depending on your controller’s rounding convention. 16-Bit Control The full protocol for Technobeam gives you 16-bit control over the positioning of the mirror and the angular position of rotating lithos.
MSpeed vs. Fast Changes There are two different ways you can choose to move the color and litho wheels: fast changes or MSpeed changes. A fast change means the color or litho movement is completed in the shortest amount of time after the wheel starts moving. An MSpeed (motor/mirror speed) change occurs smoothly over the entire MSpeed time value.
Technobeam® Protocol Table A-1 gives the DMX channel assignments for the Technobeam full 18channel protocol and reduced 14-channel protocol. The column “Ch.
