Smart Move® Troubleshooting

Smart Move® DMX:
Smart Move® is in rotating mode but not rotating:
  1. Possibly missing 24V dc power – check for power.
  2. Possibly missing DMX signal – check for DMX.
  3. Check that DMX level is at 0 on channels 2 and 3. Channel 1 controls speed and rotation.
Smart Move® won't rotate without DMX signal:
  1. The unit can be set for fixed rotational mode by setting the rotary switches at 700 – reset the switch to the proper address, then use the second and third rotary switches to choose your programmed effect.
Smart Move® is not indexing properly:
  1. Make sure channel 3 is at 0, channel 2 is above 0 to set the speed of movement. This allows channel 1 to set the indexed position.
  2. The homing sensor circuit has failed. Visually inspect rear gobo holder for missing magnetic sensor. Consult Apollo.

All Smart Move® Rotators:
Gobo is not firmly held by retaining ring:
  1. The retaining ring may have been inserted backwards. Remember, place the flat side towards steel gobos, shouldered side towards glass gobos.
Motor turns, but gobo does not:
  1. Check for loose or broken drive belt.
  2. Set screw in drive pulley may be loose.
  3. For double rotators, check that the two steel gobos have not become tangled together.
