3.SETUP
AC Power
The Intimidator Spot 455Z IRC 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
(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 to 100% switch.

When including Intimidator Spot LED 450 products
in Master/Slave configuration
with Intimidator Spot 455Z IRC products, you must observe the following:
•When the Intimidator Spot LED 450 is the master and the Intimidator Spot 455Z
IRC is connected as a slave, the Intimidator Spot 455Z IRC must be set to DMX
mode with a starting address of 001. DO NOT set the Intimidator Spot 455Z IRC
in Slave mode when an Intimidator Spot LED 450 is the master.
•The Intimidator Spot 455Z IRC will not operate as the master to an Intimidator
Spot LED 450 connected as a slave.
•Configure all the slaves before connecting the master to the DMX 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 slave units to the master.
