UNPACKING

Carefully remove the unit from the box.
Do not attempt to operate the Rosco Image Spot projector if there are any signs of physical damage. In case of damage, contact your local Rosco contact.
Your Rosco Image Spot projector requires that an Image Spot focusing lens tube (purchased separately) be inserted into the opening on the front of the unit before 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 30º

INSTALLING LENS TUBE

IP40 Units: Insert the small diameter end of the lens tube into the opening on the front of the projector. IP65 Units: Slip the 2 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 before inserting the cassette into the accessory slot. Up to two Rosco gobos or Permacolor dichroic glass filters can be stacked in the gobo cassette. For the 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 backward 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 tightened plus an additional quarter turn with screwdriver.

DICHROIC COLOR FILTERS
Rosco Permacolor dichroic filters are available to provide fully customizable, long-term colour options for your Image Spot. 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.

IP40 WIRING
Your IP40-rated Rosco Image Spot projector will arrive with an unterminated power cord attached to the unit, see the wiring below (for IP65-rated projectors, see next page). Wiring to an appropriate connector (not included with Image Spot purchase) or to line voltage should be performed by a qualified electrician and is the responsibility of the installer or end user. The power cord wiring code is as follows:

• Ensure the correct power connections have been made to the Image Spot projector. The fixture will immediately illuminate upon receiving power.

IP65 WIRING

Your IP-rated Rosco Image Spot projector will arrive with an unterminated hybrid power/data cord attached to the unit. Wiring to appropriate connectors (not included with Image Spot purchase) or to line voltage should be performed by a qualified electrician and is the responsibility of the installer or end user. The power cord wiring code is as follows:
The power wiring is labelled as follows, using 18AWG wires:

• Core No1: Live (Hot) Lead
• Core No2: Neutral Lead

• Shield/Screen: Ground

Ensure the correct power connections have been made to the Image Spot projector. The fixture will immediately illuminate upon receiving power.

MOUNTING

The Image Spot projector can be installed in the desired location via the 5/8” centre hole in the yoke. Adjust the 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 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 counterclockwise.
Due to the ultra-clear optics of the Image Spot projector, it is advised to keep the optic path clean of dust and debris. Use a non-abrasive micro-fibre 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 spotlighting 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 OF IP65 IMAGE SPOT

The Image Spot IP65 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 the lens tube a minimum of 2 complete rotations or 5/8inch (16mm) past the O-rings to ensure the lens tube creates a watertight seal with the front opening.
• Install fixture with the gobo cassette slot screws tightened and facing downward to protect from direct exposure to elements and dust.
• Exercise caution while handling the hardwired hybrid power/data cord to prevent any undue stress or kinking against the unit. Improper handling may result in breakage and an increased risk of water seeping into the wiring or the unit.

DIMMING CONTROL

• The Rosco Image Spot projector offers four modes of control: Push DIM operation, user-supplied DMX512 data, 0-10V dimming, or DALI-controlled.

PUSH DIM OPERATION
The Push DIM option is an easy and effective way to adjust the Image Spot projector for smaller installations without the need for a DMX/DALI controller or control system. To operate, you just need to connect a simple push-button controller to the projector to enable light dimming and a reliable memory function.

Dimmer control

• On/Off: short press
• Stepless dimming: long press
• Dimming direction is changed with each long press
• Memory: projector levels will be stored at last level set.

DMX OPERATION

• Image Spot projectors are configured for DMX In/Out control. When the fixture recognizes a valid DMX signal, control of the unit will default to DMX. An interruption of the DMX signal will cause the Image Spot projector to revert to the last acquired output setting.
• IP40 units have an RJ45 DMX connector on the rear panel. Pin assignments are:

Pin #| Assignment| Pin #| Assignment| Pin #| Assignment
---|---|---|---|---|---
1| DMX In Data +| 4| DALI 1| 7| 0V
2| DMX In Data –| 5| DALI 2| 8| 0V
3| DMX Out Data +| 6| DMX Out Data –|  |

IP65 units are supplied with a factory-installed 2m length of hybrid mains/DMX cable that features a waterproof gland. The DMX wire assignment for IP65 units are:

DMX ADDRESSING

• A single channel is required for output intensity control via DMX. In order to set the DMX address, an RDM configuration tool or RDM lighting control device may be used.
• If your unit has a serial number preceding 202974 (IP40) or 203012 (IP65) please follow the instructions below:
• In order to set the DMX address, an optional DMX Programming Cable (sold separately) is needed, as well as the free Image Spot Addressing Software that can be downloaded at www.rosco.com/ImageSpot IP40 units require a USB to RJ45 Programming Cable; IP65 units require a USB to RS485 Programming Cable accessory (both sold separately). Plug the USB connector into the computer running the Image Spot Addressing Software. Connect the output end of the cable to either the RJ45 connector (IP40 units) or use the multi-pin RS485 terminal block to connect to the bare ends of the IP65 Image Spot DMX cable using the following terminal assignment:

Follow the prompts from the software to set the DMX address (set value). The output of the unit can also be tested by entering a value between 255 (100%) and 1 (0%). Enter a value between 255 and 1, and observe that the fixture output changes briefly before returning to 100%. The fixture should be power cycled Off/On to properly respond to the newly programmed DMX address.

DALI OPERATION
The DALI Control option makes it possible to control the Image Spot projector using a DALI or lighting control management system. The bi-directional protocol allows feedback from the Image Spot on different aspects and enables the unit to be controlled and set individually. The DALI protocol limits the number of DALI devices to 64. IP40 units have an RJ45 connector on the rear panel.
Pin Assignments

Pin #| Assignment| Pin #| Assignment| Pin #| Assignment
