Changing gobo
Open the lid of the Varyscan®6 575 HMI by screwing off the eight screws. Following
screw off the two silver screws at the side of the projector head approximately 8 mm,
through the holes in the arms. Now take out the gobo plug-in unit.
Metal-gobos
Now you can press the gobos at the gobo wheel out of their holder
and put in the new gobos. Take care that the gobo engages exactly
with it’s slits in the holder. If the gobo is put in correctly, it moves
easily inside the holder. Now you can put the plug-in unit into your
Varyscan®and close the lid.
Attention: Never open and close the small straps to change the gobos. The straps will break off!!
Glass-gobos
If you screw off the three screws of the holder you can take away the glass-gobo with the holder. Change the
glass-gobo with the complete holder as desired and screw it on. You get the holders and the silicon glue for the glass-
gobos at your specialist dealer or manufacturer. Take care that you screw in the screws not straight and not too tight.
Now you can put the plug-in unit into your VS 6 and close the lid.
If your projector is not prepared for glass-gobos or you would like to use more glass-gobos, you must adapt your
projector. For this you need a special montage set (montage ring for glass-gobo, 3 distance cases 2,5*1, 3screwsM2*8),
which you get from your specialist dealer or manufacturer.
Loosen the screws of the old metal-gobo holder and change it to the glass-gobo montage holder. Take care that you
change the 2 mm distance cases with the 1mm distance cases. Following you only must screw in the glass-gobowiththe
holder.
Measures gobos
With your Varyscan®6 575 HMI you have the chance of using two different gobo sizes.
Gobos JB-size
Outside diameter: 39,50 mm
Use diameter: 28,13 mm
Advantage: Because of the notches with a depth of 1 mm which
are arranged in a 120°-division, it is guaranteed that the gobos do
not move in the gobo holder on the gobo wheel as i.e. at other
manufacturers.
Would you like to produce gobos so please request for our exact
technical drawings.
