a large number of output patterns and images. The output is further enhanced with a rotating
prism and an animation wheel.
The intellaspot XT-1 optical system produces a 20,000 lumen output from the 850w HID lamp,
while providing clear projections with a large zoom range of 11° to 55°. The fixture also features
a fast mechanical iris, variable soft edge, and electronic strobing.
Built on an entirely new platform, the intellaspot XT-1 combines new technologies to create an
energy-efficient fixture that conforms to modern “greening” principles. A battery-controlled full
color LCD menu system enables fixture addressing without having to power up the unit. Low
ambient noise, RDM, Art-Net, and wireless DMX capabilities make the intellaspot XT-1 the
professional choice for a wide variety of applications.

to components. High End Systems
®
assumes no responsibility for products that are damaged
during transport. Return a product for repair in its road case.
Before sending anything to the factory, call your High End Systems dealer/distributor

Installing a Power Cord Cap
The custom power cord for intellaspot XT-1 fixtures ships without a power cord cap. Use the
information in this section to install the correct power cord cap for your location.
Because of the variety of power cord caps used worldwide, High End Systems, Inc. cannot make
specific recommendations for the power cord cap. Contact a local authority for the type of
power cord cap needed. When installing the power cord cap, note that the cores in the mains
lead are colored according to the following code:
• green and yellow = earth
• blue = neutral
• brown = live
Installing a Line Cord Cap - U.K. Only
In the United Kingdom, core colours in the mains lead of this equipment may not correspond
with the colored markings identifying the terminals in the fixture’s plug. In that case, install a
line cord cap in accordance with the following code:
• Connect the green and yellow core to the plug terminal marked with the letter “E,” or by
the earth symbol
or coloured green, or green and yellow.
• Connect the blue core to the terminal marked with the letter “N” or coloured black.
• Connect the brown core to the terminal marked with the letter “L” or coloured red.

Mounting the Fixture
You can mount your intellaspot XT-1 fixture suspended from a support system (such as a truss)
or freestanding on its base.
Note: Due to the wide variety of possible lighting designs, High End Systems
cannot make specific mounting recommendations. Consider the following
procedure as a suggested guideline only.
Mounting the Fixture Upright
To mount the fixture upright:
1. Place the fixture on a sturdy, stable non-flammable surface that will support more than the
52.2 kg (115 lb) weight of the intellaspot XT-1 fixture. If the surface is above floor height,
use safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.
2. Disengage Pan and Tilt locks before powering up the fixture.
WARNING!
Equipment suitable for dry locations only. Do not expose this
equipment to rain or moisture.
CAUTION!
intellaspot XT-1 fixtures must be installed and operated by trained
personnel only.
Always use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture.
Do not mount within 2 meters (6.56 feet) of a flammable object.
CAUTION!
Do not mount the fixture upright without the four rubber feet
attached.

Truss Mounting
When mounting the fixture on a truss or another type of support:
• Verify the truss or support will handle the combined weight of all the devices on the truss.
Each intellaspot XT-1 fixture weighs 52.2 kg (115 lb).
• Always mount an intellaspot XT-1 fixture using the mounting bracket assembly that shipped
with your fixture and a safety cable attached to the fixture’s base.
Use the following steps to mount an intellaspot XT-1 fixture on a standard truss:
1. Due to its size and weight, at least two people should
support the fixture while another attaches clamps and
safety cables. Always stand on a firm, stable surface
when mounting the fixture to its support.
2. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to
the truss.
3. Run the safety cable through the loop on the fixture’s
base, and around the truss.
WARNING!
Before mounting, disconnect power to the fixture. If it has been
operating, allow the fixture to cool for five minutes before handling.
CAUTION!
Do not use C- Clamps to mount the intellaspot XT-1 fixture to a truss.

Linking intellaspot XT-1 Fixtures
The intellaspot XT-1 fixture operates on standard DMX512 link controlled by a DMX console. The
number of fixtures on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required by
all the fixtures. An intellaspot XT-1 fixture requires a 39 channel footprint on a standard
DMX512 link.
Attach the fixture to the link using data-grade cable and 5-pin XLR cable connectors.
Cable Connectors
The intellaspot XT-1 fixture accepts 5-pin XLR cable connectors. Cabling must have a male XLR
connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR connector on the other end.
Pin one is the common (cable shield), pin two is the data complement (negative), pin three is
the data true (positive). Pins four and five are not used, but they allow a secondary data link to
pass through the fixture.
Test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verify correct polarity and to make sure
that the negative and positive pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other.
CAUTION!
Do not connect anything to the ground lug on the XLR connectors. Do
not connect or allow contact between the common (cable shield) and
the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common could cause a
ground loop and/or erratic behavior.

Connecting to the Link
To link one or more fixtures to a DMX controller:
1. Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX Data cable to the controller’s DMX Data Out
connector.
2. Connect the Data cable’s female XLR connector to the Data In connector of the first (or
next) fixture on the DMX link.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of
each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.
4. Terminate the link by installing a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum) terminator in the fixture’s
Data Out (female) cable connector in the last fixture on each DMX link.
A terminator on the last
fixture of the link prevents data reflection,
which can corrupt the
data communication on
the link.
Note: You can Address the fixture for DMX control using the Battery mode
before connecting to a power source, (see
Setting a Start Channel in
Battery Mode on page 14) or in Normal mode, after powering up the
fixture.
Powering On the Fixture
To power on the intellaspot XT-1 fixture, simply connect it to a 100V-240V AC power source.
Once the intellaspot XT-1 fixture is connected to a power source, it automatically begins a
homing procedure to verify that fixture components are functioning.
WARNING:
This equipment is designed for connection to a branch circuit having
a maximum overload protection of 20 A.
CAUTION:
Do not power on the fixture until verifying that the line cord cap is
suitable for the power source in your location. For more information,
see
Installing a Power Cord Cap on page 8.
Disengage Pan and Tilt locks before operating the fixture. For more
information, see
Pan and Tilt Locking on page 7.
Do not unplug motor harnesses while unit is powered.
