MAINTAINING SAFE OPERATION (continued) Image Spot UV is classified as UV Risk Group 3 and are indicated on the body of the unit as per the EN 62471 standard. Individuals suffering from sunlight exposure disorders, aphakic and pseudoaphakic conditions, or those on photosensitive medication may experience discomfort if exposed to ultraviolet light.
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 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 prior to operation.
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.
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.
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.

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-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.
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.
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.
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.
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:...

DMX ADDRESSING (continued) 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%.
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 feedbck 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.
• 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.
