3.SETUP
AC Power
The Intimidator™ Spot Duo 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.
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 Intimidator™ Spot Duo
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. The bracket has a 13-mm hole, which is 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.
•Only loosen or tighten the tripod adjustment knob manually. Using tools could
damage the knob.
•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.
