Introduction

Product Overview

Product Dimensions

Setup

AC Power

The Gobozap 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 (e.g., 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, completely disconnect the product from power via a breaker or by unplugging it during periods of non-use.
	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. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder, and replace it with a fuse of the exact same type and rating (F 3 A, 250 V).
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the multi-charger 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. Please see the diagram below for further explanation.

Power Linking Diagram

	You can power link up to 6 Gobozap products on 230 VAC.
	The power linking diagram corresponds to the U.K. version of the product ONLY! If using the product in other markets, you must consult with the local Chauvet distributor, as power-linking connectors and requirements may differ in your country or region.

Mounting

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

Orientation
The Gobozap 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 purposes.
• 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, such as 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 bracket adjustment knob allows for directional adjustment when aiming the product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knob manually. Using tools could damage the knob.

Gobos

Configuration (Standalone)

Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller.

Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.

To set the motor rotation settings on the Gobozap, follow the instructions below:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until mot shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to choose between on (reverses motor rotation) and off (normal motor rotation).
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to choose between 000–100 to override the speed of the mirror rotation in auto mode or sound-active mode (000 has no function; When set to 050, the mirror dish or gobo will rotate at 50% speed, and the auto or sound program speed control will adjust the colors and gobos only).

IRC-6 Infrared Remote Control

The Gobozap is compatible with the IRC-6 infrared remote control from Chauvet. To activate IR mode, follow the instructions below:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SEt shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> to accept.

Sound-Active Mode
The sound-Active mode will enable the product to respond to the music.
To turn on Sound-Active mode:

1. Press <SOUND> on the IRC-6.
2. Press <+> or <–> to select a sound-active program.

To adjust the sound sensitivity:

1. Press <SENSITIVITY> on the IRC-6.
2. Press <+> or <–> to increase or decrease the sensitivity.

Strobe
To adjust the strobe rate:

1. Press <STROBE> on the IRC-6.
2. Press <+> or <–> to increase or decrease the strobe rate.
3. Press <STROBE> again to turn off the strobe.

Black Out
To blackout the lights:

1. Press <BLACK OUT> on the IRC-6.

This will turn off all the lights until the button is pressed again.
NOTE: The IRC-6 will not respond to any inputs when Black Out is activated. If the remote does not respond when a button is pressed, try pressing <BLACK OUT>.
You may have inadvertently activated Black Out.

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Gobozap product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Gobozap products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will be set to operate in either Standalone mode or with the IRC-6, while the slave (receiver) 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> repeatedly until SLV shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLV2.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Finish setting all the slave products.

Master product:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLV shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select SLV1.
4. Press <ENTER>.
5. Set the master product to operate in Standalone mode or with the IRC-6.

• 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.

Maintenance

Product Maintenance

Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to a 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.
