Overview
The Rotating Wheel Module contains a wheel with three rotating/indexing positions for
static M-size steel or glass gobos or dichroic color filters and an open position.
Install a gobo/filter:
Step 1: If module is currently installed:
a: Power-down the fixture by moving the power switch to the “off” position.
b: Remove the module from the fixture by loosening the two retaining screws and
pulling the module straight out of the head.
CAUTION: Screws securing the modules, and the wheels themselves, may be hot if the fixture
has recently been lit. Allow the module to cool before installing gobos or filters.
Step 2: Remove the spring securing the gobo/filteryou want to replace or install. Use the
diagram below to determine the frame numbers on the wheel. The Rotating
Wheel Module has two magnets, one for calibrating the wheel position, and one
for calibrating the index position of the frames (found in the alignment hole of
frame #3).

Step 3: Remove the gobo/filter, if present.
Step 4: Insert the new gobo/filter in the frame. Use the hole in or near the frame (see
above for alignment hole locations) to align your gobo, if required.
CAUTION: To preventcracking ofglass gobosandforbest image contrast, the silverreflective

the lenses. Prolonged use of the Rotating Wheel Module in Bay #2 may cause the
belt within the module to degrade. To ensure peak performance of the RWM, use
it in Bay #1.
Step 5: Insert the spring into the frame. Ensure that the gobo/filter is held securely in
place and that the spring is fully inserted in the frame.
Step 6: Align the module in the selected bay with the interface connector closest to the
center bay divider.
Step 7: Guide the module gently into the bay making certain that the guide posts of the
module housing are properly aligned with the accommodating hole in the fixture
frame. Ensure that the module seats on the control card.
Step 8: Tighten the screws securing the module by turning them to the right (clockwise).
Ensure that the screws are tightened completely.
