PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK

This machine uses mains electrical power at 100-277VAC 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 the unit from the 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 Image Spot’s surface temperature 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, the operation may result in burns.
Allow the unit to cool before attempting to service.
Rosco Image Spot must only be serviced by a qualified technician.
Rosco Image Spot is not certified for use in hazardous locations.
Rosco Image Spot is designed for operation within the range of -13° to 104°F (-25° to +40°C); Image Spot HT is designed for operation up to 122°F (+50°C).
Ensure Rosco Image Spot is stored within the range of -4° to 140°F (-20° to +60°C).
WARNING: Do not look directly into the UV light during operation. Eye and skin exposure to UV light can cause severe damage to humans and animals. Take every precaution to limit exposure to UV light (including the use of UV- blocking eye protection).

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 dealer.
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 prior to operation.
Five 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:

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.

IP40 WIRING

Your Rosco Image Spot projector will arrive with an unterminated power cord attached to the unit. 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.

Your IP rated Rosco Image Spot projector will arrive with an unterminated hybrid power/data cord attached to the unit. 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:

18AWG (41/34)|
---|---
Core No1:| Live (Hot) Lead
Core No2:| Neutral Lead
Core No3:| Push DIM
Green/Yellow:| Ground

26AWG (7/37)|
---|---
Core No4:| DMX-/DALI1/0-10V Signal
Core No5:| DMX+/DALI2/DIM+
Core No6:| DMX+(out)/NC
Core No7:| DMX-(out)/NC

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 center hole in the yoke. Adjust pan as required. Adjust and fix the tilt of the projector via (1) the knurled thumb knob or (2) the optional hex screw (supplied with Image Spot) on the side of the yoke.

GOBO PROJECTION

Prior to operating the Image Spot projector insert an Image Spot gobo into the gobo cassette located on the underside of the fixture. Gobos with logos or other-oriented graphics should be inserted upside down and backward for proper projection. Check to ensure the gobos are free of dust, fingerprints, and other residue prior to inserting the cassette into the accessory slot. Be sure to tighten the thumb screws on the gobo cassette after re-inserting to maintain protection from dust and moisture. A flat-tipped screwdriver 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 avoid the possible 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 fully dry.
*Recommended to be tightened to 4Nm min.

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 microfiber cloth with Rosco Lens  Cleaner to clean the Image Spot lenses and any glass gobos or Permacolor dichroic glass filters you may have installed.

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
• The dimming direction is changed with each long press
• Memory: projector levels will be stored at the 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| OV
2| DMX In Data –| S| DALI 2| 8| OV
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:

| Programming Cable| Image Spot DMX Cable
---|---|---
Terminal 1 Data +| Brown/Orange| Blue
Terminal 2 Data –| Green/Yellow| Orange
Terminal 3 Ground| Black| Shield

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 in order 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
---|---|---|---|---|---
1| DMX In Data +| 4| DALI 1| 7| OV
2| DMX In Data –| 5| DALI 2| 8| OV
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 assignments for IP65 units are:

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.

DICHROIC COLOR FILTERS

Rosco Permacolor dichroic filters are available to provide fully customizable, long-term color 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.
