Specification Overview

The VARI*LITE® VL1000™ ARC Iris luminaire's Automated functions include CYM color mixing, rotating gobos, variable diffusion and a zoom lens that ranges from 19° to 36° for normal imaging and a super zoom function that ranges to 70°.
This Model delivers more than 15,000 lumens with the higher color temperature of the 575 watt arc source. These models also include a mechanical dimmer and a truss-mounted, fanless ballast.
The VL1000AI includes a beam size iris module.

Detailed Description

The unit contains independent stepper motors to provide movement of the head through 540° in the horizontal plane (pan) and 270° in the vertical plane (tilt). The luminaire calibrates to minimize hanging distances.
A zooming multi-element optical system provides continuous focus of gobo images for field angles from 19° to 36°. A super zoom function provides field angles to 70°. Independent control of edge is provided. A CYM color mixing system is provided for a broad range of user color selection. A variable diffusion stage is also included. This stage provides controlled reduction of the contrast ratio of imagery and beam edges. The effect is a continuous transition from spotlight to floodlight.
A six-position gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions and one open position is included. Gobos are easily installed and removed. (A wide selection of gobos is available from Vari-Lite.)
Iris models contain a beam size iris suitable for producing narrow beams and cropping gobos.

Dynamic Effects

ZOOM OPTICS
Continuously variable field angle in imaging range from 19° to 36°, super zoom angles to 70° is programmable over a timed range of 2 seconds to 20 minutes.

COLOR MIXING
A fully cross-fading CYM color system is included. Diffusion: Field or gobo can be continuously and smoothly diffused to wash.

ROTATING GOBO WHEEL
Six-position rotating gobo wheel with five rotatable, indexable gobo positions and one open position.

BEAM SIZE CONTROL
In addition to the zoom optics, a mechanical iris provides continuous beam size control for both rapid changes and smooth timed beam angle changes.

PAN & TILT
Smooth, timed continuous motion using stepper motors with encoder correction. Pan range is 540°; tilt is 270°. Resolution is 0.1°. Unit will calibrate to support close hangs (yoke-to-yoke).

Control & Programming

CONTROL
Compatible with a wide variety of DMX-512 consoles.

Power

POWER REQUIREMENTS
Depending on the voltage, 3 to 9 A are supplied to the Arc luminaires
and ballast.

Thermal

OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE
-20° to 122°F (-29° to 50°C).
COOLING
Free convection cooling when hung. Floor mounted units and extreme ambient temperatures activate a low-noise, forced-air cooling system.

Control Channel:
In each case set the control channel to the value for the required action hold the value for 3
seconds then set the channel to zero (0) in a zero count or snap. Any values detected for less
than 3 seconds prior to zero will invalidate the command.
