It includes connecting power and data, along with instructions for powering up the luminaire for the first time and addressing it within your system. • Power and Data Cabling Requirements • Installation Procedures • Powering Up • Addressing 02.9 663.
PAGE 28
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Power and Data Cabling Requirements AC Power The luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 90-264 VAC, 50/60 Hz in order to power all internal electronics and motors. It is equipped with a 3-pole Neutrik® PowerCon® locking connector (with contacts for line, neutral, and premating safety grounds) for the purpose of AC input.
PAGE 29
INSTALLATION : POWER AND DATA CABLING REQUIREMENTS 2 Lamp Power To power the VL1000 lamp, an external ballast or dimmer unit is required depending on the model. Lamp Power Input Cable VL1000T and VL1000TS Incandescent Models The incandescent versions of the VL1000 ERS luminaire will require an external dimmer unit for lamp power. A lamp power input cable is provided for connecting to these units.
PAGE 30
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Data Cables The luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA THRU (out) applications. DATA IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and DATA THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When purchasing or constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used, but also quality cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system.
PAGE 31
2 INSTALLATION : POWER AND DATA CABLING REQUIREMENTS Recommended Cable Types/Manufacturers These are only a few of the suitable cable types. Any quality EIA485, twisted pair, 120 ohm, shielded cable will also work.
PAGE 32
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Male Termination Connector A male XLR termination connector is required at the last luminaire (or "far end of the line") to prevent signal reflections. Signal reflections may cancel out the signal at certain line lengths, resulting in errors. The terminator is also necessary for software downloads and running tests on multiple luminaires. To construct your own connector, you will need the following components: • 5-pin, male XLR connector.
PAGE 33
INSTALLATION : INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 2 Installation Procedures Installing Lamp In the event the lamp was packed separately during shipment, it will be necessary to install before use. WARNING: Ensure that power is removed from luminaire when installing lamp. CAUTION: Wear cotton gloves or other covering while installing lamp. Touching lamp glass with bare fingers will leave oil and may cause the lamp to explode or reduce lamp life.

VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Hanging the Luminaire The luminaire can be hung horizontally or vertically from any structure designed to work with the type of load created by this moving luminaire. The pan tube base provides two mounting holes for attaching truss hooks or other mounting hardware as required. Many compatible truss hooks are available from different manufacturers for your particular needs.
PAGE 37
INSTALLATION : INSTALLATION PROCEDURES 2 To hang luminaire in truss: Step 1. Lift luminaire into mounting position. Step 2. Secure in place with truss hooks. Ensure truss hook hardware that locks hook in place (e.g. wing bolt) is properly tightened and that luminaire is fully supported. Step 3. Attach safety cable (as required) as follows: a. Connect end of cable to mounting pin at one side of pan tube base. b. Loop at least once around pipe and attach other end at second mounting pin. Step 4.
PAGE 38
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Hanging the Ballast (Arc Units Only) The external ballast unit included with VL1000A and VL1000AS arc models will need to be installed near the luminaire. In order for the lamp cable to be connected, the ballast must be placed within 40 inches (1m). The top panel provides one mounting hole for attaching a truss hook or other mounting hardware as required. (Compatible truss hooks are available from different manufacturers for your particular needs.

INSTALLATION : POWERING UP 2 Powering Up Power-Up and Configuration Overview First Power-Up When powering up a VL1000 luminaire for the first time, the lamp type and shutter settings must be configured. This procedure will usually happen prior to delivery. However, in the event that it has not been done or if the Main Controller Board has been replaced, it will be necessary.
PAGE 42
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Standard Power Up Procedure Use this procedure when powering up a luminaire that has already been configured. (Refer to “Power-Up and Configuration Overview” on page 23.) Note: Refer to Chapter 4: Menu System for detailed instructions on menu functions. CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction. To power up luminaire: Step 1.
PAGE 43
INSTALLATION : POWERING UP 2 Power Up and Configuration Procedure Use this procedure when powering up a luminaire that has not been previously configured. (Refer to “Power-Up and Configuration Overview” on page 23.) Note: Refer to Chapter 4: Menu System for detailed instructions on menu functions. CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction. To configure luminaire at power up: Step 1.
PAGE 44
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Align Lamp For Maximum Beam Irradiance After a new lamp is installed in either the incandescent or arc version of the luminaire, it will be necessary to align the lamp to optimize the beam. WARNING: Backcap and adjustment screws will be HOT during lamp operation. Wear gloves and/or use tools to prevent burns. To align lamp: Step 1. Set intensity to 100%. Step 2. Position beam on a white wall at a distance of 10 to 20 feet. Step 3.

VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL DMX Data Display The DMX data display shows the data received for the given luminaire and does not show the entire stream of 512 bytes. It shows only the number of channels used for the given luminaire model in 16-bit enhanced mode. For example, a VL1000TS luminaire with an address of 40 will show DMX Channels 1-27 which would correlate to DMX Channels 40-66.

OPERATION : LUMINAIRE TIMING 3 Luminaire Timing Timing Channel Information Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. We provide three timing channels, one for Focus (Pan and Tilt), one for color parameters and one for beam parameters. Timing channels support time values of up to six minutes.
PAGE 54
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Step 4. Set console timing (or cue fade time) for parameters and timing channels to zero seconds. Step 5. Store cue. Note: Avoid changing timing channel values in a fading cue. This can cause unexpected behavior in the luminaire as the timing channel value is updated over time. Timing channel values and the final destination of the parameters affected by the timing channel should always be sent in a zero count.

OPERATION : UPDATING SOFTWARE 3 Updating Software Reprogramming Luminaires In some cases, it may be desirable to upgrade the luminaire(s) with VL1000 Luminaire Software. This process will require a Windows PC, the Luminaire Programming Kit (VL Part Number: 28.9661.0054), and the Setupex.exe program. The Setupex.exe program (which contains the VLDownload.exe program) is available on the VL Download Installer Disk (VL Part Number: 87.7303.0008) or on the Vari-Lite website: www.vari-lite.
PAGE 62
VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Install and Reprogramming Procedure This procedure will install the VLDownload.exe program onto the PC and then allow you to reprogram the luminaires. Note: If running Windows NT, you must be working from an account in the Administrators group to install the VLDownload.exe program onto the computer. Install VL1000Download.exe program using Programming Disk: Step 1. Insert VL Download Installer Disk (VL Part Number: 87.7303.0008) into appropriate drive.

VARI❋LITE® - VL1000™ ERS LUMINAIRE USER’S MANUAL Menu Operation What Is the Menu System? The menu system is a programmable set of commands used to configure, address, operate, and test the luminaire. The menu system is controlled at the Menu Display available at the yoke leg. The menu system has seven main functions which are referred to as “1st level.” Within these main functions, there can be up to four additional sub-functions (levels 2 thru 5), making five total levels.
