Color Filter Wheel Overview

An FLI Color Filter Wheel provides the basis for uncompromised images night after night without fail.

Each traditional style FLI Color Filter Wheel is precision engineered with a highly accurate stepper

motor and chain drive. The large diameter pivot pin and bushing are precision ground and matched

for smooth, quiet no-fuss operation. FLI Color Filter Wheels use no internal lights for homing to

protect your images from stray light interference. Our traditional Color Filter Wheel line has six

different body styles that hold either round of square lters in various sizes as described in Table 1.

The Color Filter Wheel product number identies the body type and the number of lter cups. Hence,

a CFW-3-10 has a body type 3 and holds 10 lters.

Check your Shipment

damage to the Color Filter Wheel that will not be covered under the warranty.

If you are concerned about lightning strikes in the area in which you use your Color Filter Wheel,

you may want to take safety precautions as electrical surges can damage electrical equipment. We

recommend that when your Color Filter Wheel is not in use that you unplug the Color Filter Wheel

from power and unplug the USB cable from the Color Filter Wheel.

Notes:

1. Front to back thickness of the ﬁlter wheel excluding motor, in inches (mm).

2. Filters are round unless followed by SQ, indicating square.

3. Typically the camera side of the ﬁlter wheel.

4. Typically the optical side of the ﬁlter wheel (for example, lens or telescope).

5. PL OBFD = Optical back focal distance (image plane of CCD to cover side of ﬁlter wheel) for PL or ML camera with 65 mm shutter. See note 14.

6. ML OBFD = OBFD for standard 25mm or 45mm MicroLine with FLI dovetail + ﬁlter wheel. See note 14.

7. Carousel will accept either 2” or 50 mm ﬁlters.

8. May accept thinner ﬁlters with an O-ring; however, the O-ring will reduce the aperture.

9. May be made for 25 mm / 1” ﬁlters on special request.

10. BP = bolt pattern

11. Because the carousels overlap, one position in each is normally left open. For example, eight + two open positions for the CL-1-10.

12. ZTA = CenterLine Zero Tilt AdapterTM

13. Assumes CL ZTA ﬂange on front of camera. Add 9.22mm for CL adapter to FLI dovetail (AD70 or AD71).

14. For most materials, subtract 1/3 of the thickness of any ﬁlter (e.g. subtract 1mm for a 3mm thick ﬁlter) as well as 1/3 of the thickness of any cover glass on the CCD.

Setting-up and Powering a Color Filter Wheel

Assemble all components in one area before beginning this set up procedure. Refer to the next topic

for installing lters into the Color Filter Wheels.

1. Plug the power supply cable into the Color Filter Wheel.

2. Attach the USB cable between the Color Filter Wheel and your computer.

3. Plug the power supply cable into a wall socket or switched AC power strip.

4. Run FLI Filter to initialize the Color Filter Wheel and make control selections.

The following notes are provided to assist you with the FLI Filter Software:

• The FLI Filter software should automatically recognize the type of Color Filter Wheel that is attached to your

computer and display the correct number of lter positions. If the computer does not correctly identify this

information, refer to the Troubleshooting topic later in this Guide for instructions.

• Upon correct installation and installation of lters, you should initiate a Homing procedure. To do this, on the FLI

Filter dialog, click Home. The Color Filter Wheel will move to display the zero position in the aperture. Verify the

lter is positioned in the center of the Color Filter Wheel aperture. The lter pocket/cup in the aperture position is

displayed at the bottom of the dialog.

• You can move the Color Filter Wheel to a particular lter pocket/cup position. To do so, on the FLI Filter dialog, click

the button corresponding to the pocket/cup. The Color Filter Wheel will move to display the selected pocket/cup

position in the aperture.

• To rename a lter on the FLI Filter dialog, simply right click on the button corresponding to the lter name. On the

displayed dialog enter the new name, then close the dialog.

• To incrementally move the lter displayed in the Color Filter Wheel aperture, use the directional buttons (CW or

CCW). The wheel moves in small steps in the selected direction.
