INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Rosco Image Spot projector. Designed to provide crystal-clear imaging and
spot illumination, the Image Spot is quick and easy to set up with convenient on-board dimming or remote DMX
controls. Image Spot is available in durable indoor IP40 and outdoor IP65 versions. To ensure efficient and safe
operation, please take a few moments to read this manual completely.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

The symbols below are used throughout this manual to identify important safety information. Heed all warnings
and safety information.

Warning, Danger or Caution. Risk of Electric Shock.

Risk of severe electric shock.

Risk of personal injury.

5

PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK

This machine uses mains electrical power at 90-253VAC inclusive. 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 two­wire 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.

6

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 150ºF (65ºC) 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 14° to 104°F (-10° to +40°C).

Ensure Rosco Image Spot is stored within the range of -4° to 140°F (-20° to +60°C).

7

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.

Three lens options are available, providing 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:

Item No. 296000100019 Narrow FL85 - 19º

Item No. 296000100025 Medium FL60 - 25º

Item No. 296000100030 Wide FL50 - 30º

8

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.

9

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:

Core No1: Live (Hot) Lead

Core No2: Neutral Lead

Green/Yellow: Ground

Ensure the correct power connections have been made to the Image Spot projector. The fixture will immediately
illuminate upon receiving power.

10

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.

1 2

11

GOBO PROJECTION

Prior to operating the Image Spot projector insert an Image Spot gobo into the gobo cassette located on the
underside of the fixture. Gobos with logos or other oriented graphics should be inserted upside down and
backwards for proper projection. Check to ensure the gobos are free of dust, fingerprints and other residue prior
to inserting the cassette into the accessory slot. Be sure to tighten the thumb screws on the gobo cassette after
re-inserting to maintain protection from dust and moisture. A flat tipped screw driver can be used for additional
torque to tighten the thumb screws. 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.

12

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 counter-clockwise.

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.

DIMMING CONTROL

The Rosco Image Spot projector offers two modes of
control: Manual dimming operation or user-supplied
DMX512 data input.

In Manual mode the Image Spot projector beam
intensity can be adjusted using a flat tip screwdriver
(0.118”/3mm width). Insert the screwdriver into the
recessed dimming port located on the top of the
fixture towards the front. Turn the screw clockwise
for brighter output and counter-clockwise for dimmer
output.

13

DMX OPERATION

A single channel is required for output intensity control via DMX. In order to set the DMX address, an optional
DMX Programming Cable (sold separately) is needed, as well as the free Image Spot Addressing Software that
can be downloaded at www.rosco.com/ImageSpot.

To set the DMX address on the Image Spot IP40 unit, you will need the USB to RJ45 Cable accessory, sold
separately. Plug the USB connector into the computer running the Image Spot Addressing Software, and the
RJ45 connector into the receiver on the rear panel of the fixture. Follow the prompts from the software to set
address (set value). The output of the unit can also be tested by entering a value between 255 (100%) and 1 (0%).

14

DMX OPERATION

The Image Spot IP65 units can be ordered with a factory-installed 2m length of DMX cable that features a
water-proof gland. To set the fixture’s DMX address, you will need the Image Spot USB to RS485 Programming
Cable accessory (sold separately). Plug the USB connector into the computer running the Image Spot Addressing
Software and wire the cable’s multi-pin terminal block to the bare-ends of the fixture’s DMX cable using the
following terminal assignment:

o Terminal 1 Data + (Blue)

o Terminal 2 Data - (Orange)

o Terminal 3 Ground (White/Yellow)

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 manual control, however
the last acquired output setting will be maintained.

15

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.

16

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.
