INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of a Rosco Image Spot Mini projector. Designed to provide crystal-clear
imaging and spot illumination, the Image Spot Mini is quick and easy to set up with convenient on-board

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.

PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK

• This system uses mains drivers that connect to electrical power at 100-277VAC. When directly contacted,
such voltages are hazardous to human life. Follow all local electrical codes and take precautions when using
this product.

• Use only extension cords that are of appropriate length and are rated for Image Spot Mini’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.

5

MAINTAINING SAFE OPERATION

• Do not look directly into the Image Spot Mini 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 Mini’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 Mini must only be serviced by a qualified technician.

• Rosco Image Spot Mini is not certified for use in hazardous locations.

• Rosco Image Spot Mini is designed for operation within the range of -4° to 122°F (-25° to +50°C).

• Ensure Rosco Image Spot Mini is stored within the range of -13° to 140°F (-25° to +60°C).

WARNING: Do not look directly into the UV light during operation. Eye and skin exposure to UV light can
cause severe damage to humans and animals. Take every precaution to limit exposure to UV light (including
the use of UV-blocking eye protection).

6

UNPACKING

Carefully remove the unit from the box.

Do not attempt to operate Rosco Image Spot Mini projector if there are any signs of physical damage. In case
of damage, contact your local Rosco dealer.

Your Rosco Image Spot Mini projector requires that an Image Spot Mini 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 296220000111 Image Spot Mini Narrow Angle Lens Optic/ 11º - Black

Item No 296220000171 Image Spot Mini Medium Angle Lens Optic/ 17-º - Black

Item No 296220000251 Image Spot Mini Wide Angle Lens Optic/ 25º - Black

Item No 296220000112 Image Spot Mini Narrow Angle Lens Optic/ 11º - Silver

Item No 296220000172 Image Spot Mini Medium Angle Lens Optic/ 17º - Silver

Item No 296220000252 Image Spot Mini Wide Angle Lens Optic/ 25º - Silver

7

INSTALLING LENS TUBE

Gently insert the end of the lens tube into the opening on the
front of the projector. Rotate several turns to engage the threads.
Once the projector has received power, the lens tube can be
further rotated to adjust the focus of the projected image.

MOUNTING

The Image Spot Mini projector can be installed in the desired
location via the center hole in the yoke. Adjust and fix the tilt of
the projector via the hex screw on the side of the yoke.

WIRING (Non Track Version)

DN Wiring Dia 1 V3

Your Rosco Image Spot Mini projector will arrive with an unterminated power cord attached to the unit.
Wiring to a Rosco-supplied driver and the driver to line voltage should be performed by a qualified electrician
and is the responsibility of the installer or end user.

Connect the AC Mains power supply, Control signal leads (0-10V DC, Triac or DMX) and lead wires from the
Image Spot Mini projector to the selected driver as follows:

The current will be preset on the LTech DMX driver to 1050mA:

Note: the suggested current is 1050mA, any variaon may result in under performance or a shortened LED

life cycle, and may void warranty.

Ensure the correct power connecons have been made to the Image Spot Mini projector. The xture will

immediately illuminate upon receiving power and a valid control signal.

11

DIMMING CONTROL

The Rosco Image Spot Mini projector offers two modes of control:
Manual dimming operation or user-supplied 0-10V, Triac or DMX512
data input.

In Manual mode the Image Spot Mini’s beam intensity can be adjusted
via the dimming knob on the rear panel. Turn the knob clockwise for
brighter output and counter-clockwise for dimmer output.

When using 0-10V, Triac or DMX dimming controls, ensure that the
proper Image Spot Mini driver has been ordered and that the proper
lead wire connections have been made (see diagrams on page 9).

DMX control requires that a DMX address be established for each projector. A single channel is required for

output intensity control via DMX. RDM protocol can be used to change the DMX address from the factory
default 001. The controller supports DMX512 bi-directional communication.

Dimming Knob

FOCUSING

The focus can be adjusted by rotating the lens tube clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Due to the ultra-clear optics of the Image Spot Mini 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 Mini
lenses and any glass gobos or Permacolor dichroic glass filters you may have installed.

12

GOBO PROJECTION

Prior to operating the Image Spot Mini projector insert an Image
Spot Mini 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 re­inserting 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 Mini gobos, which
feature custom bezels that fit securely inside the Image Spot Mini
gobo cassette.

To avoid possible ingress of dirt and moisture when changing gobos, orient the Image Spot Mini projector with

the gobo cassee on the underside of the unit whenever possible.

13

DICHROIC COLOR FILTERS

Rosco Permacolor dichroic filters are available to provide fully customizable, long-term color options for your
Image Spot Mini. For optimal performance and installation, specify Image Spot Mini Permacolor Filters that
feature custom bezels to fit securely inside the Image Spot Mini gobo cassette.

Install the Image Spot Mini Permacolor Filter into the gobo cassette. The gobo cassette is deep enough to
accept both an Image Spot Mini Gobo and an Image Spot Mini 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 Mini Permacolor Filter -> Image Spot Mini Gobo -> Lens Tube.
