3.SETUP
AC Power
The Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC has an auto-
ranging power supply and it can work with an
input voltage range of 100~240 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.
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
Disconnect the product from power before replacing the fuse.
1. Disconnect the product from power.
2. With 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.
Always replace a blown fuse with another of the same type and rating.

Mounting
Before mounting the product
, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes.
Orientation
The Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC
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 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, you should use a mounting clamp of
appropriate weight capacity (you must supply your own mounting clamps). The
bracket has 13-mm holes, which are appropriate for this purpose.
•When power linking multiple products, you must
always consider the length of the
power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach.
•The bracket adjustment
knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.
•The rubber feet also serve as floor supports. When mounting the product
on the
floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people and vehicles.

can be used to control one Gobo
Shot™ 50W IRC. Set the product in Manual mode (nAn) to use the IRC-6.
IRC-6 Operation
Note: Make sure to point the IRC-6 directly at the receiver.
The following IRC-6 buttons are used with the Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC:
•<BLACKOUT> - turns LED on/off
•<STROBE> - strobing (0–20 Hz)
•<SPEED> - gobo rotation
Note: After pressing the <SPEED> button, CU shows on the display until
you increase or decrease the gobo rotation speed (see below).
•<%> - master dimmer
•<MANUAL> - stops rotation
•<FADE/SNAP> - selects clockwise/counter-clockwise
•<+> (plus) - increases effect
- to increase gobo rotation, press the <SPEED> button first (settings 0–255)
- to increase strobing, press the <STROBE>button first (settings S000–S100)
- to increase dimming, press the <%> button first (settings L000–L255)
•<-> (minus) - decreases effect
- to decrease gobo rotation, press the SPEED button first (settings 0–255)
- to decrease strobing, press the STROBE button first (settings S000–S100)
- to decrease dimming, press the %button first (settings L000–L255)
•<0>–<9> - preset rotation speeds 0— 9(slow to fast)
The buttons on the IRC-6 not listed above are reserved for future use with
the Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC.
The Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC responds to the IRC-6 while in Manual mode
(nAn). When using the IRC-6 in this mode, changes in programming levels
and settings will show on the display

Wired Remote To operate the Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC with the included wired remote, follow
the instructions below:
Plug the wired remote into the Wired Remote In port on
the back of the
projector, and use the remote as follows:
•To control the gobo’s rotation speed, turn the ROTATION SPEED knob to
the desired speed (slow to fast).
•To control the direction of the gobo’s rotation, flip the DIRECTION switch to
either CCW (counter-clockwise) or CW (clockwise).
•To control the power to the Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC, flip the POWER switch
to either ON or OFF.
The Wired Remote In/Out ports allow one Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC to remotely
control the actions of another Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC without the need of an
additional wired remote. Using a standard RJ45 (network) cable, connect
the projector with the wired remote from its Wired Remote Out port to the
Wired Remote In port of the other projector. Gobo Shot™ 50W IRC
projectors configured in this manner operate in unison.
When using just one wired remote to control more than one Gobo Shot™
50W IRC, be sure to use the RJ45 cables to connect the projectors. Do
not use DMX connections or the fixtures will not respond correctly.

5.TECHNICAL INFORMATION
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 mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, clean the product at least twice a month. However,
usage and environmental conditions contribute to increased cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
•Unplug the product from power.
•Wait until the product is at room temperature.
•Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface/vents.
•Clean all external optics and glass/transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution,
ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
•Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
•Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the external optics or
glass/transparent surface.
•Gently polish the external optics and glass/transparent surfaces until they are free of
haze and lint.
Always dry the external optics and glass/transparent
surfaces carefully after
cleaning them.
Do not spin the cooling fan using compressed air because you could damage it.
