3.1 Mechanics
3.1.1 Adaptation kit
The use of an adaptation kit to use the JALOUSIE2 on Fresnel lanterns is necessary. The
JALOUSIE2 can be delivered with the mounting plate fitted on the JALOUSIE2. Contact your
distributor for compatibility on existing models.
Please refer to the adaptation kit manual for installation.

3.1.2 Operating position
For better results, JALOUSIE2 blades have to be perpendicular to the arc of the lamp:
3.1.3 Safety cable
JALOUSIE2 must be secured with appropriate safety
cable (not provided) from attachment point A to
lantern’s attachment point B.

4 Operation
4.1 Dimmer shutter
JALOUSIE2 enables to control the light intensity of discharge fresnel luminaires by a
mechanical system. The rotating blades in front of the lighting unit stop an increasing among
of light coming from the lamp.
When JALOUSIE2 is powered up, motor reset procedure is done.
The position of the blade goes from 0% (blades closed –no light output) to 100% (blades
open –maximum light output).
Control of the aperture can be done locally through the display and optional potentiometer or
remotely by using USITT DMX 512 protocol. Choice of LTP or HTP merger is possible in
setup menu.
Dimming curves can be selected in setup menu:
oLM: Linear Motor
oLL: Linear Light
Mounting a mechanical shutter on a spotlight will affect the apparent output of the
luminaire so it is strongly recommended that all precautions be taken during the design
of the light plot. ROBERT JULIAT shall not be responsible for reduced lighting levels
and aperture that may result from the use of a JALOUSIE2 shutters.

5 Servicing
5.1 Preventative maintenance
5.1.1 Frequency
General maintenance should be performed at least 3 times a year, or more frequently if the equipment
is operated in adverse conditions (smoke, heat, humidity, touring, etc.).
5.1.2 General cleaning
Remove dust from the unit (air vents, printed circuit boards, etc.).
5.1.3 General visual check
No trace of heat.
No loose contacts.
No missing parts.
Tighten mechanical assemblies (screws, bolts and nuts, ground connections, etc.).
5.1.4 Wiring & Connections
Cable terminal screw: Visually check, tighten if necessary (do not over tighten).
Electronic connectors: Visually check the position and the locking clips (if needed).
5.2 Blades position adjustment (V2.04 software only)
Adjustment of the minimum position (0%) and the maximum position (100%). Positions need to be
adjusted if light spills at 0% are detected or if blades have been changed.
DMX must be disconnected. Local value must be used to open or close the blades.
BRAKE function must be deactivated in PREFERENCES menu.
Position can be adjusted in PREFERENCES menu by pressing +and –buttons:
