USING A DIMMER - To easily start, stop, and adjust the rotation speed, plug your TwinSpin II into a

dimmer. Most types (even inexpensive household dimmers) will work, although speed range and

resolution may vary. Electronic dimmers slightly clip the top and/or bottom of the speed range, but

offer good resolution. The best results are produced by autotransformers.

TURN-ON and HANG-UPS

When the patterns in your TwinSpin are new, you must burn them in before rotating for the first

time. Do this by placing TwinSpin II (with the patterns mounted) in the fixture. Run the lamp at full

for approximately two minutes. Do not rotate the TwinSpin II. If you do not burn them in before

rotating, the patterns will most likely jam. If your patterns catch on each other, or if the retaining

ring is not properly secured and slips, the TwinSpin II may jam and stop turning. Turn off motor as

soon as possible to prevent freezing. Remove the unit to correct the problem, reassemble, then

resume operation.

REMOVING TWINSPIN II FROM THE FIXTURE

It is best to allow your fixture and patterns to cool naturally before removing the TwinSpin II from

the fixture. Pulling it out 'hot' will cause warping and possible tearing of the patterns due to the quick

temperature change. Lift the TwinSpin II straight out of the iris slot. Take care that the handle of the

pattern holder behind it doesn't press against the patterns and dent them.

REMOVING PATTERNS FROM THE TWINSPIN II

To remove a pattern from the TwinSpin II, use a small pocketknife blade or flathead screwdriver.

With the tool, pry the notched end of the retaining ring out of the groove, IN toward the center, and

UP. Pop the ring out of the groove, and remove ring and pattern with your fingers. Tip: hold ring

lightly with finger to prevent flyaway.

QUICK CHANGES

If you are under pressure and need to change hot patterns in your TwinSpin, be prepared with a hot

pad or gloves. The elements will be too hot to handle. It is helpful to have an extra set of rings

handy.

SPIN DESIGN

TwinSpin II provides four design options. You may rotate a single pattern, two of a kind, or two

different designs. The fourth option is to use one or two rotating patterns to animate a 'still' which is

placed in the pattern holder. Check out the Shadow Play Catalog for the hundreds of Great American

Patterns available.

CAUTION

TwinSpin II is not intended for continual use in conventional 1000W ellipsoidal spotlights. For

continuous operation applications we suggest the new cool beam units such as the ETC Source IV or

the Altman Shakespeare.
