SeaChanger Tungsten Wash Setup

Setting up the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash involves installing the proper power cord cap and setting the DMX start channels.

Installing a Power Cord Cap

Your SeaChanger Tungsten Wash ships with a power cord that must be connected to a standard cord cap. Different locations may require a different power cord cap to connect the fixture to a power source. Because of the variety of power cord caps used worldwide, SeaChanger cannot make specific recommendations for the power cord cap. Contact a local authority for the type of power cord cap needed.

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash has a universal power supply onboard that allows for connection to a wide variety of main power sources. Refer to the Specifications section for details.

When installing the power cord cap, note that the cores in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

Color	Function
Green with Yellow stripe	Ground
Blue	Neutral
Brown	Live

CHALEUR INTENSE. ÉVITER LE CONTACT PAR DES PERSONNES ET DES MATÉRIAUX. PAS POUR UN USAGE RESIDENTIEL

► Procedure

To connect a SeaChanger Tungsten Wash Color Engine to a Source Four ellipsoidal fixture lamp housing,

1. Remove the Source Four from the yoke assembly, setting aside the screws to use in Step 2.

2. Using the same screws, attach the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash as shown in the figure below. Adjust the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash to the desired orientation.

3. Remove the front barrel assembly of the Source Four ellipsoidal fixture by loosening the thumbscrew and the Philips set screw located above and beneath the lens barrel. Rotate the barrel assembly until it releases from the mounting tabs located in the rear housing assembly. Set the front assembly aside, it is not required.

4. Attach the Source Four rear housing assembly to the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash by aligning the mounting tabs into the rear-locking ring of the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash. You must rotate the rear housing until the Source Four mounting tabs are captured in the SeaChanger Tungsten Wash locking ring channels. Tighten the thumbscrew and Philips set screw to lock the module onto the Source Four fixture.

5. Mount the unit using safety cable at the mounting location.

The installed SeaChanger Tungsten Wash can be oriented in either the “in-yoke” or “below-yoke” configurations as shown below:

Adjusting Beam Zoom / Field Angle

The wash field size can be adjusted with the manual zoom adjust knob located on the opposite side of the lens housing from the drive enclosure. Simply loosen and move the knob forward (in the direction of the output Fresnel lens) for 70 degree wide field coverage or to the rear towards the lamp housing) for a tight 20 degree field with superior edge softness. When the desired wash field is obtained, simply retighten the knob to set the adjustment.

Determining a Valid DMX Base Address

The DMX base address (start channel) identifies each fixture on a link for the DMX controller. There are 512 available channels on each DMX link. These 512 channels are divided among all the devices on a particular link. The number of channels a fixture requires is called the fixture’s channel range. The DMX base address assigned to a particular fixture is the first channel available to a fixture in its channel range. 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.

Remember the following criteria when determining a valid base address:

· The base address is the number of the first channel in a consecutive block of channels assigned to an individual fixture.

· If you want two or more fixtures to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way, you can assign them the same base address. In that case, those fixtures must be the same type and must share the entire channel range.

· A fixture can be assigned the second block of DMX channels on a link without physically being the second fixture on the link.

· To avoid overlapping channels, place the start channel at the beginning of a range of available channels large enough to accommodate that fixture type.

· Every channel in the link does not need to be assigned.

· The channel range required for a fixture differs depending on the fixture type. The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash uses a DMX block of 4 contiguous channels.

Setting the Base DMX Address

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash is a four channel DMX device, and requires that a contiguous block of four DMX addresses be available. The display panel or RDM input is used to enter the DMX base address of the fixture. Channel 1 is assigned to this base address, and Channels 2 through 4 are assigned the next three DMX addresses.

Chapter 3

Operation

Overview

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash can be operated by a DMX512 controller, RDM (Remote Device Management) device, or from the front panel display.

Power and DMX Connections

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash has a self-contained universal AC/DC power supply, permitting connection to single-phase power sources with a voltage range of 110 – 240 VAC, at a frequency of 50 – 60 Hz.

The DMX I/O connectors are 5-pin XLR type, and are connected in a pass-through arrangement to enable daisy chaining of multiple fixtures. Either connector can function as an input or output. An external terminator plug (not supplied) is recommended for the last fixture in a DMX cable run.

SeaChanger Tungsten Wash Display and Control Buttons

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash features a 3-digit LED display and corresponding panel buttons for numeric entry. Each button push increments the corresponding digit by 1, and from 9 back to 0. Addresses and functions programmed via the display panel take effect after a 3 second delay.

DMX Signal Indicator

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash display will show a decimal point if a DMX signal is present. The decimal point will go out when signal is not present or removed.

Display Blanking

The SeaChanger Tungsten Wash display will blank the digits after a 5-minute delay. The DMX signal indicator (decimal point) will remain on as long as a DMX signal is present. The display can be powered on by pushing any of the display buttons once while blanked.

USITT DMX512-A Manufacturer ID

All SeaChanger DMX512 addressable fixtures have an ESTA registered Manufacturer's ID of ASCII "SC" (decimal 83 & 67, or 53h 43h in hex).
See http://www.esta.org/tsp/working_groups/CP/mfctrIDs.php.
