2.1 Construction

The housing of the WARP Colour Changer is made of sturdy aluminium plate to reduce weight. Outer

finish is a scratch resistant matt black epoxy powder coating.

2.2 Motor and Fan

The scrolling of the gel string is controlled by 2 DC Servo Motors which are mounted directly

to the plastic rollers. The motors are operated simultaneously to provide torque which enables

fast, smooth quiet and accurate positioning of the colour filter. Tension on the filter is also

maintained at the optimum level. DC fans provide excellent cooling for gel string extended life.

2.3 Colour Filters

Standard gel string, supplied, has a capacity of 16 frames (15 colours + clear).

2.4 Scrolling Modes

There are three scrolling modes available: Continuous, Step and Auto Trace.

•Continuous Mode

The movement of the gel string is divided into 100 steps, and its position is proportional

to the intensity level of the signal on the control channel.

•Step Mode

The movement of the gel string is divided into 16 steps, each step corresponds to a

separate colour. For approximately every 6.7% change of intensity level of the signal on

the control channel, the gel string will change one colour.

•Auto Trace Mode

The unit continuously steps through each colour from the first to the last one, and then

back to the first colour on the string.

2.5 Colour changing speed

By employing DC servo motor control technique, fast colour changing speed is achieved.

Minimum time required to scroll from end to the end is 1.5s. In some applications, noise is of

more concern than speed. In this case scrolling speed can be reduced to minimize the noise

of mechanical movement. For example, the slowest speed is 20s, and is achieved by setting

the Gel string Movement setting to (9XX).

2.6 Reset

The colour changer automatically resets when power is applied. During reset, the gel string

rolls to the starting end first, then to the other end, then back to the starting end again to

enter the ready state.

The colour changer can also be reset from a control console. This feature makes life easier

when the colour changer is installed on a truss at the ceiling of the studio.

2.7 System Configuration

The XLR4 connector on the motor-house provides DMX data and Power Supply

(24V DC / 1A) for CC/WARP.

Adding the CC/WARP

•Insert the changer into the WARP/M.

•Connect the safety cable.

•Connect the XLR4 cable1.

•Set the DMX address of the changer to 1.

•Rebalance the WARP/M2

•Power up the WARP/M.

DMX mapping for the CC/WARP

WARP/M remaps the changer address. The changer becomes a part of the WARP/M personality.

CC/WARP has 3 parameters.

Channel 1 Colour (Position of String)

Channel 2 Fan Speed

Channel 3 Reset

In this case External 1 becomes colour, External 2 Fan Speed and External 3 enables a reset.

Removing the CC/WARP

After you have removed the changer, you must rebalance the WARP/M.

3. Operation

For normal operation, set the DIP switches to the desired configuration and set the rotary

address switch to the desired DMX address. Set power and the unit is now ready to work.

3.1 LED Indicators

LED Description

Red power LED Red LED lights up when DC power is applied to

the unit.

Green signal LED Green LED lights up when the unit receives

proper DMX signal.

It flashes at short «ON», long «OFF» interval

when the gel string breaks.

It flashes at short «OFF», long «ON» interval

when the motor is jammed

3.2 TEST Button

This switch button is used to test the unit. When used together with the DIP switches and

address switches, it sets the different operation modes available. After replacing the colour

filter (gel string) roller or adjusting a wrongly positioned gel string, press this button to RESET

the unit. The gel string will then scroll to the starting end, then to the other end, and finally

back to the starting end again, stopping at the control signal position.

3.3 Rotary address switch

For DMX operation, it is necessary to set the address of each colour changer to match the

dimmer number set on the control console. The address can be set between 1 to 512, by

means of the 3 rotary switches (X100, X10&X1).

FAN SPEED

Switch 1 Description

Off LOW fan speed

On HIGH fan speed

CONTINUOUS /STEP mode

Switch 2 Description

Off STEP mode

The movement of the gel string is divided into 16

steps, and each step corresponds to a separate

colour. For approximately every 6.7% change of

intensity level of the signal on the control channel,

the gel string will change one colour

On CONTINUOUS mode

The movement of the gel string is divided into 100

steps, and its position is proportional to the

intensity of the signal on the control channel

POWER ON RESET

Switch 3 Description

Off Power on reset disable

The gel string scrolls to the starting end to enter

the ready state. If there is a control signal from

the console, it will go to the desired position.

On Power on reset enable

The gel string scrolls to the starting end then to

the other end, then back to the starting end again.

If there is a control signal from the console, it will

go to the desired position.

FAST / QUIET mode

This mode will only operate if gel string movement speed setting is «900». This switch

optimizes the gel string scrolling speed with quietness of operation.

Switch 4 Description

Off QUIET mode

The colour changer is set to scroll the gel string at

low speed, 2.5 s. Noise from moving gel string is

reduced to the minimum.

On FAST mode

The colour changer is set to scroll the gel string at

high speed, 1.5 s. Noise from moving gel string

might be generated.

4. Special operation mode

4.1 Remote reset address

If during normal operation the positioning of the gel string is incorrect, it is possible to bring it

back to the correct position by sending a RESET signal from a control console. This function

is especially useful if the unit is installed in a difficult to reach position. In order to be reset

from a console, the unit must receive a signal of FULL intensity level, maintained for a period

of more than 1 second at the Remote Reset Address.

Note: The factory-set default RESET address is 000. This effectively disables the Remote

RESET function because DMX does not support address 000).

Remote reset address - setup (999)

Set the address switches to «999», and press the «TEST» button to enter this mode. The

«signal» LED will then flash at 10 times per second. Set the desired RESET address and

press the «TEST» button again to confirm this address. The unit will then reset.

Remember to set the address switches back to the normal operation address, and

then switch the unit off and on again, or the unit will not operate properly.

Beware that WARP/M remaps the changers address. The changer becomes a part of the

WARP/M personality. External 3 become for example reset. (8 external parameters

available on WARP/M)

4.2 Auto trace mode (8XY)

The unit steps through each colour continuously from the first to the last colour and then

back to the first one. Set the address switches to 8XY and press the «TEST» button to enter

this mode. The value XY adjusts the speed of each stepping, the smaller the value, the faster

the stepping. «X» represents the speed of movement from starting end to the final end while

«Y» represents the speed of movement from the final end to starting end. When the value

XY is changed, it is necessary to press the «TEST» button or turn POWER OFF and then

ON to make the change effective.

4.3 Gel string movement speed setting (9XX)

16 different levels of speed of the gel string are available on CC/WARP changers. Set the

address to 9XX and press the «TEST» button to set the speed. The value XX (00-15) adjusts

the speed of the gel string movement, the smaller the value, the faster the speed.

For example the speed of the gel string ranges from 1.5s to 20s.

Remember to set the address switches back to the normal operation address, and

then switch the unit off and on again, or the unit will not operate properly.

4.4 Restore to factory default setting (600)

Set the address to 600 and press the TEST button to restore the factory default settings.

Attention: A factory reset may become necessary in cases when the Colour

Changer does not function correctly. E.g. in case the ventilators are not

controllable and run constantly.

2. This unit is suitable for indoor operation only

3. Always dim the light to the colour changer when not in use

4. Make sure you set the Normal Operation Address and Remote. RESET

Address before operation.

5. Make sure you restore the Normal Operation Address after setting

different modes of operation.

6. Remember to press the «TEST» button when changing a setting.

7. The unit stops automatically when the gel string breaks or when the

motor is jammed. In this case the «SIGNAL» LED blinks.
