Mechanical Tests
The Mechanical Test menu provides a method for exercising all luminaire mechanisms individually. Each mechanism 
has a similar Test screen, Cyan is shown in the example below: 
The following test functions are available:
+
Test Chase - The mechanism will move back and forth between two positions. The START/STOP button starts 
and stops the motion, and the SPEED button sets the rate of the motion. For mechanisms with sensors, one of 
the positions will be on the sensor and the other position will be off.
+
Manual Control - The slider on the right side of the screen moves the mechanism through its range of travel, 
manually. Tapping the arrows will move the mechanism in half panel increments.
+
Feedback -The current status of the mechanisms encoder (POSITION) and sensor (SENSOR) are shown (if 
available for that mechanism). STATUS indicates whether the mechanism is in an error state or normal operating 
state.
+
Utility Functions - Press RE-CAL to recalibrate the mechanism or DISABLE to turn off the motor control to allow 
the mechanism to move freely.
+
Configuration Information - HOME OFFSET indicates whether the home position* has been adjusted to fine 
tune sensor positions (applies to gobo wheel only, see Control Channel table for zero wheel mechanism found in 
the Bad Boy™ Spot Luminaire User Manual).
* Due to small variations in sensor and sensor board positions, the open position on a gobo wheel might not be precisely
aligned with the optical axis, creating a slight blockage on one side of the open beam. Adjust the wheel position via 
DMX to get the proper alignment and send the HOME OFFSET command to store the current position as the new 
"home" position. This position is stored in persistent memory and will be used going forward as the home position.
