6.7 Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may
also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second)
6.8 Fan
The SPICA 250M is cooled by two axial fans - one each in the projector head and one in the base.
The speed of the fan (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance
is required.
By the Control Board using the "FAnS" function you can choose 4 types of low fan speed operating:
1. "HIGH" - high (max.) speed of fans
The cooling fans work on max. speed (max. cooling)
2. "rEG" - continuous controlling of the fan speed
the fan automatically raises its speed in order to control inside temperature of the lighting, if the
temperature inside increases about certain level (the low fan speed reduces the cooling of the lighting).
This cycle can repeat several times until the temperature inside is on suitable level.
3. "LoOF" - low speed/Switch Off the lamp operating
the fan keeps the adjusted low speed until the temperature exceeds max. inside temp. then the
SPICA 250M automatically switches Off the lamp.
4. "LoHI" - low/high speed of the fan operating
the fan keeps the adjusted low speed until the temperature exceeds max. inside temp. of the fixture,
then the SPICA 250M automatically switch from low to high the fan speed.
7. Control Board
The control board situated on the front panel of the SPICA 250M offers several features. You can
simply set the lighting address, read the number of lamp or unit hours, switch On and Off the lamp, run
test show, make a reset and also use special functions for manual, demo and service purposes.
The main menu is accessed by pressing the [Mode] key - press this one so many times until the
display shows message "A001" (with actually stored address). Browse through the menu by the pressing
[Up] and [Down] keys - the display shows step by step these messages: A001, rPAn, rTilt, 16br, Lati,
Poti, LAMP, dEMo, rESE, SPEC. Press [Enter] if you wish to select one of them. The functions provided
are described in the following sections and the function hierarchy is shown below.
