Setup

AC Power

The Intimidator Scan 360 has an auto-ranging power supply, and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart.
The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via a breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

Disconnect the product from power.
Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace it with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Power Linking

The product provides power linking via the outlets located in the back of the product. See the diagram below for further explanation.

Power Linking Diagram

It is possible to power link up to 4 Intimidator Scan 360 products on 120 VAC or up to 7 products on 230 VAC.
The power-linking diagram shown above corresponds to the North American version of the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, consult with the local Chauvet distributor, as power linking connectors and requirements may differ by country or region.

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.

Orientation

The Intimidator Scan 360 may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.

Rigging

Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and programming.
Make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
Make sure that the structure or surface onto which the product is being mounted can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications).
When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the product securely to a rigging point, whether an elevated platform or a truss.
When rigging the product onto a truss, use a mounting clamp of appropriate weight capacity.
When power-linking multiple products, mount the products close enough for power-linking cables to reach.
The rubber feet also serve as floor supports and allow for surface mounting. When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

Mounting Diagram

When using only one mounting clamp with this fixture, use a clamp with a captive bolt to prevent accidental loosening.

Maintenance

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to a reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear.
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean all lighting products at least twice a month.
However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.

To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

Unplug the product from power.
Wait until the product is at room temperature.
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because they could be damaged.
