VL6C/VL6C+ Color/Gobo Wheel Control
The luminaire’s fixed color and gobo wheels have twelve (12) positions, while the rotating gobo wheel
has six (6) positions. You can mix color filters and gobos on the same wheel, or have all filters on one
wheel with all gobos on the other wheel. VL6C/VL6C+ luminaires are shipped in a standard
configuration with all gobos on the front wheel (Wheel 1) and all color filters on the rear wheel
(Wheel 2).
Color and gobo wheels can be placed on any step position of the motor. Wheel positions are mapped to
DMX512 fader positions to control 96 static positions and five (5) spin speeds. Percent values of 0 to
95 control static positions; values 96 through 100 control spin speeds.
