Clay Paky COMBICOLOR (575) - Manual (Page 2)

• Projector address codes (for digital signals)
A single COMBICOLOR utilizes 4 control channels. To ensure that the different
projectors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each
one. The operation is carried out on each COMBICOLOR by setting the dip-switches
as indicated in the table below.
• Aligning the beam
Having completed all the operations indi-
cated thus far, loosen the knobs (3),
manoeuvre the projector on the bracket
(2) until the beam is directed at centre
stage, then retighten the knobs (3).
Setting the TEST switch to the ON position for a few seconds with the projector powe-
red-up, an auto-reset routine is carried out. Leaving the TEST switch at the ON posi-
tion for a longer period, a full self-test program will be completed; once the operation
has terminated, return the switch to the OFF position.

DIMMER/STOPPER-STROBE
In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment, the
change of colour in response to the move-
ment of the potentiometer is linear and
continuous, so that the slider can be stop-
ped in intermediate positions to obtain a
two colour beam.
From 50% to 100% the wheel rotates con-
tinuously with speed increasing steadily
from 0 to 300 rpm.
