3. Setup

AC Power

The Intimidator Spot 475Z 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 (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, during periods of non-use completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

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. Disconnect the product from power.

2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.

3. Remove the blown fuse.

4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.

5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Operation

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Spot 475Z product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Intimidator Spot 475Z products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in either standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave 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>.

2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Run Mode.

3. Press <ENTER>.

4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Slave.

5. Press <ENTER>.

6. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select from Slave1, Slave2, Slave3, or Slave4.

•Select Slave1 for 100% synchronized actions.

•Select Slave2, Slave3, and/or Slave4 for delayed actions, creating a wave effect.

7. Press <ENTER>.

8. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.

9. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.

10. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Set the master product to operate in standalone mode or with the IRC-6.

2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.

• 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.

• Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

Zero Adjust Mode

The Intimidator Spot 475Z contains a passcode protected mode which allows the user to calibrate and adjust several of the product’s operating parameters. In order to access this mode, do the following:

1. Press and hold <MENU> for at least 3 seconds.

2. Use <UP> (increases the selected value) and <DOWN> (selects the next value) to enter the passcode: 2323.

To change the gobos in the Intimidator Spot 475Z, do the following:

1. Turn off and disconnect the product from power.

2. Place the product on a flat, level surface with the front facing up.

3. Remove 4 screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the cover.

NOTE: If the gobo wheel is not accessible, the wrong cover was removed. Replace the cover immediately and remove the cover on the opposite side of the Intimidator Spot 475Z.

4. Rotate the gobo wheel until the gobo that needs replacing is accessible.

Operation

5. Separate the gobo holder assembly from the gobo wheel by pushing it forward and up. Be careful not to push the gobo out of the gobo plate.

6. Extract the gobo holder by pulling it backwards out of the product.

7. On a flat surface, remove the tension ring that holds the gobo in place and remove the gobo from the gobo plate.

8. Insert a new gobo and secure it in place with the tension ring.

9. To reinsert the gobo holder, slide the tip of the gobo holder under the pressure plate near the center of the gobo wheel.

10. Push the gobo holder assembly inwards. DO NOT force the gobo holder into the gobo wheel slot. Move the holder slightly from the side to side if needed to get it to sit properly. If correctly installed, the bottom of the holder will be flush with the gobo wheel.

11. Replace the cover of the Intimidator Spot 475Z and secure with the 4 screws.

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.

Do not spin the cooling fans using compressed air because it they could be damaged.
