GOES 1535 Indexing Twinspin Operating Instructions


  • The Indexable TwinSpin™ (TS-5278) is a twin rotator for two gobos driven from one motor and can be fitted with one or two gobos. The gobo on the flat side of the rotator is fully indexed and the second gobo follows all the actions of the first one in reverse.
  • Using the four 10-position switches on the Dual Power Supply, you can select mode of operation and channel (see charts below).
  • There are five programmable DMX controlled modes and four built-in pre-programmed effects which do not require a DMX signal.
  • The GAM indexing rotator is controlled by the DMX 512 protocol and is powered by 24 Volts DC from the required Dual Power Supply (see separate Dual Power Supply instructions and installation sheet).
  • Once powered, the Dual Power Supply will show a red power LED to indicate the power is on. The unit also has a green LED which indicates the status of operation.
  • At power on, the unit will initialize to find the home position of the gobos. This takes about two seconds during which time the green data LED will flash. Once the home sensing is complete, the flashing will stop. If the green data LED is not lit, then there is no DMX signal present. If the LED continues flashing, it means there has been a fault detecting the sensor. The unit will operate but without the correct index positioning.
  • Mode and channel switches can be operated with the power on. A small delay will take place to correctly accept any new settings on the switches.
  • Check that the motor and detector connectors are plugged into the Dual Power Supply (see separate installation instructions).
INSTALLING PATTERNS

 

Lay TwinSpin™ on table to install the patterns in the gobo holders using the provided retaining rings. Older warped patterns should be installed with the bent parts bowed away from each other so they won’t catch when
rotating. If the retaining ring is not properly secured and slips, the TwinSpin™ may jam and stop turning. Turn off motor and light as soon as possible and free the jam. Be sure to optically align lamp in fixture for a smooth flat field (see manufacturer’s instructions for lamp alignment). See GOES TwinSpin™ installation instructions for more details.

  • If the indexing channel is set to zero, then the gobo will continuously rotate according to the setting of the speed channel.
  • In Index Mode (channel 2 is set above 1%), the gobo will take the shortest route to its position.
  • The speed of indexing is set by channel 2 and for index mode, the speed-control-channel stop positions are not used.
  • 0% is full speed indexing
  • 50% is 0.1 rpm indexing
  • 100% (full) is full indexing
MODE 3 OPERATION -- MODE SWITCH = 3 -- 3 CHANNEL OPERATION
  • Separate speed control and 16 bit position control
  • Set DMX address

Three channel selection operates the gobo indexing in 16 bit mode for smooth low speed tracking operation. Ideal when using desk fade timing for live movement. Indexing takes the shortest route to the set position and uses the speed set bythe first channel of gobo control. If the speed /direction channel is set to zero then indexing will take place at 5 Rpm.

MODE 4 OPERATION -- MODE SWITCH = 4 -- 4 CHANNEL OPERATION
  • Operates in 16 bit indexing mode and uses an extra channel to activate the index position while gobo is rotating. Rotate and stop control is a one channel operation.
  • Set DMX address
  • Indexing gobo is controllable according to the following table:

Index mode is running whenever the second control channel is above zero. Indexing occurs at the speed and direction set by the first channel of each gobo control. If the speed / direction channel is set to zero then indexing will take place at 5 Rpm and will take the shortest route to the next set position.

STANDALONE MODES
  • No DMX required. Self generated movements are set with address switches
  • Four modes of operation
SET MODE SWITCH = 0

Operation is set by the following table parameters:

Index gobo X100 X10 X1
