Varyscan MICRO Plus 150HTI

3. Operation

3.1 DIP switches

The DIP switches are located at the base of the Varyscan Micro 150HTI.
The are used to define the different operation modes.

3.2 8 bit and 16 bit mode

Pan and tilt movement can either be controlled by 8 bit or
16 bit mode (depending on the lighting control desk in use).
Operating the Varyscan in 16 bit mode result in a very
precise movement of pan and tilt. Projection of images on
long distances will be much more accurate in 16 bit mode.
If the lighting control desk is only able of working in 8 bit
mode, never use 16 bit mode on the Varyscan.
The result might be vice versa.
JB-lighting control consols can operate in the following modes:
JB-lighting ScanControl
JB-lighting LICON 1

3.3 DMX settings

Use DIP switch 1-9 to assign the Varyscan to its address or start channel.
In 8 bit mode 7 channels are required. In 16bit the MICRO Plus 150HTI requires
9 channels per unit. The binary system is used to enter the start channel for each unit.
When using the Varyscans in 8 bit mode each unit requires 7 DMX channels. If the first
fixture in line is addressed to starting channel no. 1 the second unit has to be addressed
to channel no. 8. Never occupy one channel twice! The third Varyscan in line has to be
addressed to channel no. 15 and so on.
Example for DMX setting to channel no. "7"
Using the binary system the figure 7 consists of the figures 1+2+4 = 7.
DIP switch one is assigned to figure 1. DIP switch two is assigned to figure 2. DIP
switch three is assigned to figure no. 4. DIP switch four is assigned to figure no.8.
DIP switch five is assigend to figure no. 16 and so on. Switch DIP switch 1,2
and 3 to "on" to assign the Varyscan to start channel no. 7. Leave the rest of
the DIP switches in an "off" position.
Assignment of the first 12 Varyscan in line (7 channel mode / 8 bit)
Varyscan No.
