IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The symbols below are used throughout this manual to identify important safety
information. Heed all warnings and safety information.
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 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 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,
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 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.
IP65 WIRING
Your IP rateed Rosco Image Spot projector will arrive with an unterminated
hybrid power/data cord attached to the unit. Wiring to an 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:
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) 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 or gobo positioning wheel* 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 residues prior to inserting the cassette into the
accessory slot. Be sure to tighten the thumbscrews 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 thumbscrews.
For optimum image quality, use Rosco Image Spot gobos, which feature custom
bezels that fit securely inside the Image Spot gobo cassette.
To avoid 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.
Available soon. **Recommended to be tightened to 4N•m 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
- 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:
| Wire Color | Assignment | Wire Color | Assignment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red | DMX In Data + | Black | DMX Out Data – |
| Black | DMX IN Data – | Shield | Ground |
| White | DMX Out Data + |
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.
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 | 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 assignments for IP65 units are:

| Black | DALI2 | ||
| White | NC |
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.
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.
