SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• This unit has a built in fuse that is designed to blow or trip when the maximum current load (7
amps) is reached or exceeded. The fuse will subsequently need to be replaced. Refer to the Fuse
Replacement section of this manual for detailed information.
• Be sure the power source matches the required voltage of the device.
• Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
• Do not remove the cover for any reason. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper ventilation. Allow about 6”
(15cm) between this device and a wall.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
• This unit is intended for indoor use only, and use of this product outdoors voids all warranties.
• During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit’s main power.
• Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.
• Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point at which they exit from the fixture.
• Do not attempt to remove or break off the ground prong from the electrical cord. This prong is
used to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire in the event of an internal short.
• The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power cord or the plug has been damaged.

OPERATION
The ADJ Ikon IR is a rotating gobo projector. This xture is designed for mobile DJ’s, clubs, bands,
roller rinks and any arena that requires a compact, light weight, easy to use unit. This xture is also
suitable for theaters, studios, retail stores, and other similar locations.
Power Supply: This device features an automatic voltage switch, which will automatically sense the
voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the
correct power voltage, and this unit can be plugged in almost anywhere.
Operation:
• This device is designed to operate as a stand alone, rotating gobo projector, and does not require
a DMX controller for operation.
• This device has been carefully tested, and no assembly is required.
• This device is ready for use right out of the box, and will project the included gobo as soon as it is
plugged in.
• Use the bottom knob located at the back of the unit to control the gobo rotation speed and rotation
direction.
• Use the top knob to control output intensity.
• If the device fails to operate when plugged in, check the fuse. If the fuse has not popped, please
contact customer support for further instructions.
• This xture features a light weight case design and an adjustable hanging bracket.
GOBO REPLACEMENT
The Ikon IR comes with a replaceable gobo. This gobo can be interchanged at any time, allowing the
user to easily customize the system.
To replace gobo, follow the directions below:
1. Unscrew the two screws located at the bottom that secure the gobo housing.
2. Remove the gobo housing.
3. Once the gobo housing has been removed, use needle nose pliers to remove the retaining ring
that holds the gobo in place.
4. Remove and replace the gobo with your desired replacement. Reinsert the retainer ring, and
make sure the ring rests rmly against the gobo.
5. Slide the gobo assembly back into place, and secure the housing with the two screws that were
removed in Step 1.

INSTALLATION
The unit should be mounted using a mounting clamp (not provided), and affixing it to the mount-
ing bracket that is provided with the unit. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration
and slipping during operation. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is
secure and is able to support at least 10 times the unit’s weight. Also, always use a safety cable that
can hold at least 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fixture. The equipment must be
installed by a professional, and it must be installed out of reach of the general public.
POWER CORD DAISY CHAIN
This feature allows fixtures to be linked to one another using the IEC input and output sockets.
The maximum number of units that can be connected in this manner is as follows:
• 9 fixtures maximum @ 120V
• 17 fixtures maximum @ 230V
After this value has been reached, a new power outlet will need to be used to accommodate any
additional fixtures.
All fixtures linked in this manner must be of the same make and model type. DO NOT mix fix-
tures.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Below is a common problem that users may encounter, with a possible solution.
No light output from the unit:
Check the fuse, which can be found on the rear panel of the unit. If the fuse has been tripped, refer to
the Fuse Replacement section of this manual for detailed instructions on replacing the fuse.

11
FUSE REPLACEMENT
Disconnect the unit from power. Locate the fuse holder inside the I.E.C power cord output socket,
and use a flathead screw driver to unscrew and remove the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and
replace with a new fuse of the same rating.
CLEANING
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust, cleaning of the internal and external optical lenses should be
carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use, we recommend
cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity and crisp output.
• Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing, internal optics, and
external optics.
• Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
