Risk of severe electric shock.

PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK

This machine uses mains electrical power at 100-305VAC nominal. When directly contacted, such voltages are hazardous to human life. Follow all local electrical codes and take precautions when using this product.

This product is designed to operate from three-wire power systems, where one of the wires is a safety ground. DO NOT disconnect the safety ground, or use extension cords or adapter plugs to connect this machine to a two-wire system. Operation without a safety ground may result in hazardous electrical shock.

Use only extension cords that are of appropriate length and are rated for Image Spot’s specified voltage and current. If an extension cord shows signs of wear or gets warm to the touch, discontinue its use and obtain a cord with a higher current rating. Improper extension cords are hazardous and may result in poor performance due to excessive voltage drop.

Disconnect unit from power source before servicing and when not in use.

MAINTAINING SAFE OPERATION

Do not look directly into the Image Spot projector. Prolonged exposure to the light beam can cause damage to eyesight.

Use only Rosco spare parts and accessories so as to not void the product warranty.

The surface temperature of the Image Spot HO can approach 184ºF (84ºC) during operation. Keep minimum 4 inches (10cm) distance away from flammable materials / objects. Contact with the fixture during, or immediately following, operation may result in burns.

Allow the unit to cool before attempting to service.

Rosco Image Spot HO must only be serviced by a qualified technician.

Rosco Image Spot HO is not certified for use in hazardous locations.

Rosco Image Spot HO is designed for operation within the range of -13° to 104°F (-25° to +40°C).

Ensure Rosco Image Spot HO is stored within the range of -4° to 140°F (-20° to +60°C).

UNPACKING

Carefully remove the unit from the box.

Do not attempt to operate Rosco Image Spot HO projector if there are any signs of physical damage. In case of damage, contact your local Rosco dealer.

Your Rosco Image Spot HO projector requires that an Image Spot focusing lens tube (purchased separately) be inserted into the opening on the front of the unit prior to operation.

Four lens options are available, providing Very Narrow, Narrow, Medium and Wide beam angles. The size of the image or the beam angle can be adjusted by replacing the lens tube with an alternate size:

Item No. 296000010009 Very Narrow 10º
Item No. 296000010019 Narrow 19º
Item No. 296000010025 Medium 25º
Item No. 296000010030 Wide 30

INSTALLING LENS TUBE

Slip the two provided O-rings onto the grooves on the back end of the lens tube. Gently insert the end of the lens tube with O-rings into the opening on the front of the projector.

Please note, if there is any resistance or pressure when installing the lens, you may need to remove the gobo cassette to allow air to flow out of the fixture.

GOBO PROJECTION

Prior to operating the Image Spot HO projector insert an Image Spot gobo and/or Permacolor dichroic glass filter into the gobo cassette located on the underside of the fixture. Check to ensure the gobos are free of dust, fingerprints and other residue prior to inserting the cassette into the accessory slot. Up to two Rosco gobos or Permacolor dichroice glass filters can be stacked in the gobo cassette. For sharpest gobo imaging, place any filters in the gobo cassette first, then any gobos on top. Gobos with logos or other oriented graphics must be inserted upside down and backwards for proper projection. Be sure to tighten the thumb screws on the gobo cassette after re- inserting to maintain protection from dust and moisture. A flat tipped screw driver should be used for additional torque* to tighten the thumb screws. For optimum image quality, use Rosco Image Spot gobos, which feature custom bezels that fit securely inside the Image Spot gobo cassette.

To best prevent ingress of dirt and moisture, orient the Image Spot projector with the gobo cassette on the underside of the unit and only replace the lens assembly and gobo cassette when the unit is cooled and fully dry.

***** Recommended to be tightened to 4N•m min. or hand tighten plus an additional quarter turn with screwdriver.

DICHROIC COLOR FILTERS

Rosco Permacolor dichroic filters are available to provide fully customizable, long-term color options for your Image Spot HO. For optimal performance and installation, specify Image Spot Permacolor Filters that feature custom bezels to fit securely inside the Image Spot gobo cassette.

Install the Image Spot Permacolor Filter into the gobo cassette. The gobo cassette is deep enough to accept both an Image Spot Gobo and an Image Spot Permacolor Filter. It is recommended that the Permacolor Filter be installed on the “lamp-side” of the two. When properly installed, the order should be lamp -> Image Spot Permacolor Filter -> Image Spot Gobo -> Lens Tube.

WIRING

Your IP rated Rosco Image Spot HO projector will arrive with an unterminated hybrid power cord attached to the unit. Wiring to a Rosco-supplied driver and the driver to line voltage should be performed by a qualified electrician and is the responsibility of the installer or end user.

Connect the AC Mains power supply, Control signal leads (0-10VDC, DALI, or DMX) and lead wires from the Image Spot HO projector to the selected driver as follows:

Note: the suggested current is 1400mA, any variation may result in under performance or a shortened LED life cycle, and may void warranty.

Ensure the correct power connections have been made to the Image Spot HO projector. The fixture will immediately illuminate upon receiving power and a valid control signal.

MOUNTING

The Image Spot HO projector can be installed in the desired location via the 5/8” center hole in the yoke. Adjust pan as required. Adjust and fix the tilt of the projector via the threaded (1) hex screw using the included hex key or (2) optional knurled thumb knob (included with the Image Spot HO Welcome Pack) on the side of the yoke.

FOCUSING

Adjust the coarse focus of the unit by moving the lens tube inward/outward from the projector. The fine focus can be adjusted by rotating the lens tube clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Due to the ultra-clear optics of the Image Spot HO projector, it is advised to keep the optic path clean of dust and debris. Use a non-abrasive micro-fiber cloth with Rosco Lens Cleaner to clean the Image Spot lenses and any glass gobos or Permacolor dichroic glass filters you may have installed.

DIFFUSION FILTERS

An optional Image Spot OPTI-FLECS™ Filter Pack is available and features three pre-cut, 43mm round diffusion filters that soften Image Spot’s beam for spot lighting purposes. The OPTI-FLECS Filter Pack includes:

• Retaining Ring
• Soft Diffusion – 43mm dia.
• Smoothing Frost – 43mm dia.
• Double Powder Frost – 43mm dia.

To install OPTI-FLECS filters into the Image Spot: insert the 43mm disc into the front end of the lens tube and then secure the filter into place using the Retaining Ring.

MAINTAINING WATERPROOFING

The Image Spot HO is an IP65 rated fixture, but it must be installed and serviced properly to maintain its waterproofing. Here is a summary of procedures to follow for long lasting outdoor operation:

• Do not install the unit without a lens tube. It is required for protecting and sealing the front opening from ingress.
• Allow unit to cool completely before removing gobo cassette or lens tube. This will prevent cool humid air from rushing into the hot internal cavity when exposed to the pressure and temperature difference.
• Install lens tube a minimum of 2 complete rotations or 5/8inch (16mm) past the O-rings to ensure the lens and front opening are water tight.
• Install fixture with the gobo cassette slot screws tightened and facing downward to protect from direct exposure to elements and dust.

DIMMING CONTROLS
