Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
Figure 1 - AC Voltage Switch
Not all fixtures have a voltage
select switch. Please be sure to
connect to the proper voltage.
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.
Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the
line voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the
line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicated on
the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must be connected to
circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

3. SETUP
Lamp
You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. A 150W HTI lamp is included.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the
unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp
with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Lamp Replacement
Figure A
Figure B
Lamp Access Screws
1) Remove the four screws indicated in
Figure A to access the lamp.
2) Hold the lamp with a lint-free cloth,
and pull the lamp directly out of the
socket as shown in Figure B.
Note: One lead of the lamp is larger than
the other. Make sure the large lead
goes in the large socket. If the lamp
won’t insert into the socket, try
turning it around and reinserting it.
3) Hold the new lamp with a lint-free
cloth, and insert directly into the
socket.
4) Reinsert the lamp housing into the
fixture, and tighten the four screws
removed in step 1.
Note: The lamp may need to be aligned. If
so, follow the lamp alignment
procedures on the following page.
Intimidator Spot 2.0 HTI Manual 7 2007-01-24/09:36

Lamp Alignment How-To
Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is
refered to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned
optimally within the reflector. Lamp alignment screws
There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of
the fixture. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the
projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the
beam.
1) Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the
surface should be white or pastel in color.
2) Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position the hot spot in the center of the beam as best
as possible. This could require many attempts on your part. It is advisable to even out the
screws prior to lamp alignment as described in the illustration.
3) Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot, do your best to turn all screws equally as to affect
movement up or down within the reflector.
4) As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either get wider or
narrower. The goal is to either totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread across
the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers as much of the beam spot area as
possible.
Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always
replace with the same type fuse.
Fuse Replacement
The fuse is located
inside this
compartment.
Remove using a flat
head screwdriver.
With a flat head screwdriver wedge the fuse
holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged
fuse from its holder and replace with exact
same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in
its place and reconnect power.

figure A to remove the back of the
head.

Figure D
2) Remove the four screws indicated in
figure B to remove the front of the
head.
3) Orient the fixture so that it looks like
the fixture in figure C.
4) Remove the glue from the gobo
(figure D) using tweezers.
5) Remove the retaining spring from the
gobos.
6) Remove the existing gobo, and
replace with a new gobo.
7) Replace the retaining spring.
8) If desired, add three small dabs of
high-temperature silicone glue to the
retaining spring.
9) Repeat steps 4-8 as many times as
necessary to replace all desired
gobos.
10) Replace the front cover and retighten
the four screws removed in step 2.
11) Replace the back cover and retighten
the four screws removed in step 1.
Intimidator Spot 2.0 HTI Manual 9 2007-01-24/09:36

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller
or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The
combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number
of fixtures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data
link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a
DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1640 ft.)
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase CHAUVET-certified DMX
cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own
cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to
electromagnetic interference.
DMX DATA CABLE
Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications.
Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable will
have the following characteristics:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform
