Introduction

Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power

The Intimidator Spot 160 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 0–100% 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.

Power Linking
The product provides power linking via the outlet located in the back of the product. See the diagram below for further explanation.

Power-Linking Diagram

You can power link up to 9 Intimidator Spot 160 products on 120 VAC or up to 16 Intimidator Spot 160 products on 230 VAC.

Mounting

Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Notes.

Orientation
The Intimidator Spot 160 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.
• 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, whether 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 rubber feet also serve as floor supports and allow for surface mounting. When mounting the product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Spot 160 product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Intimidator Spot 160 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, whereas 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:

   • 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.

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 they could be damaged.
