ON TEST GLP HIGHLANDER WASH
HOMING/INITIALISATION TIME
Full initialisation took 35 seconds from either a cold start
or a DMX512 reset command. Homing is very well-
behaved; the fixture fades out smoothly, resets, and
keeps its shutter closed before fading up again after all
reset movement is finished. The lamp is cold-restrike and
took about five minutes after dousing before it had
cooled down sufficiently to be able to restrike.
CONSTRUCTION
As with other GLP automated fixtures, the Highlander
Wash has no top box, which helps reduce the overall
weight of the product. Instead, the power supplies and
some of the electronics are in the yoke arms with the
remainder of the distributed electronics for motor
control in the head. Figure 15 shows that the high voltage
ignitor (5kV is needed to strike these lamps) is mounted
in the head, just above the focus and zoom lenses. The
lamp power supply itself is mounted in one yoke arm, as
seen in Figure 16, while the motor and electronics power
supply, along with pan and tilt motor control, is mounted
in the other, Figure 17.
The effects components of colour mixing, colour wheels,
and framing are all mounted in a single removable
module - very easy to remove and replace - held in place
with four thumb screws and two electrical connections.
Each motor system on this module has its own local
motor control and sensors, as seen in Figure 18.
