The CYCLOPS 150 can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
Both modes are described in the texts below.
7.Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-504) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
7.1 DMX addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as
the first channel from which the CYCLOPS 150 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the CYCLOPS 150 will use the channel 5 to 13 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each CYCLOPS 150 correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more CYCLOPS 150 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu "A001").
Controlling:
After having addressed all CYCLOPS 150 , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the CYCLOPS 150 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the CYCLOPS
150
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.
Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7.2 Remotely controllable functions
Colour - wheel
The CYCLOPS 150 contains a colour wheel with 12 colour positions - 11 of these with dichroic colours and
the last one white. The colour-wheel can be positioned between two adjacent colours in any position. It is also
possible to rotate the colour- wheel continuously at different speeds("Rainbow effect“ in both directions).
Rotating gobo wheel
The rotating gobo-wheel includes 3 metal gobos, 3 glass gobos and 1 multicolor dichroic gobo rotating in both
directions. All gobos are interchangeable.The metal gobos have an outside diameter of 27 mm and an image
diameter of 22,5 mm.The glass and dichroic gobos have an outside diameter of 26,8 mm and an image diameter
of 22,5 mm.
Shutter/Dimmer/Strobe
The dimming (0-100%) is provided by the simple mechanical shutter unit. This unit may also be used for strobe
effect (1 - 8 flashes per second).
