AC Power
The Gobozap 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 (e.g., 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, completely
disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it during
periods of non-use.
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
1.Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2.Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3.Remove the blown fuse from the holder, and replace with a fuse of the exact same type and rating
(F 3 A, 250 V).
4.Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Disconnect the multi-charger from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
Power linking
The product provides power linking via the outlet located in the back of the product. Please see the
diagram below for further explanation.
Power Linking Diagram
You can power link up to 6 Gobozap products on 230 VAC.
The power linking diagram corresponds to the U.K. version of the product ONLY! If using
the product in other markets, you must consult with the local Chauvet distributor, as
power-linking connectors and requirements may differ in your country or region.

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Gobozap 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 purposes.
•Make sure adequate ventilation is provided around the product.
•Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product 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, such as 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 bracket adjustment knob allows for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired
angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knob manually. Using tools could damage the knob.

Operation
Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Gobozap product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or
more Gobozap products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master
(transmitter) product will be set to operate in either Standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave
(receiver) products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will
operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1.Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLV shows on the display.
2.Press <ENTER>.
3.Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLV2.
4.Press <ENTER>.
5.Finish setting all the slave products.
Master product:
1.Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLV shows on the display.
2.Press <ENTER>.
3.Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLV1.
4.Press <ENTER>.
5.Set the master product to operate in Standalone mode or with the IRC-6.
•Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
•Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

Maintenance
5. Maintenance
Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of
the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
your 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:
1.Unplug the product from power.
2.Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3.Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.
4.Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5.Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
6.Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7.Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
