Operation
Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC User Manual Rev. 2
Master/Slave Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC product (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master product will be set to operate in either Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6, while
the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will
operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:
1. Press <MENU>.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Run Mode.
3. Press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Slave.
5. Press <ENTER>.
6. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select from Slave1, Slave2, Slave3, or Slave4.
•SelectSlave1 for 100% synchronized actions.
•SelectSlave2, Slave3, or Slave4 for a delayed show, creating a wave effect.
7. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
8. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave
product.
9. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master product:
1. Set the master product to operate in Stand-Alone mode or with the IRC-6.
2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
Zero Adjust Mode
The Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC contains a passcode protected mode which allows the user to calibrate and
adjust several of the product’s operating parameters.
In order to access this mode, do the following:
1. Press and hold <MENU> for at least 3 seconds.
2. Use <UP> (increases the selected value) and <DOWN> (selects the next value) to enter the
passcode: 2323.
3. Press <ENTER>.
In this mode, the starting positions for the following can be adjusted:
To adjust the starting position of one of these parameters, follow the instructions below:
1. Access the Zero Adjust mode.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the parameter to be adjusted.
3. Press <ENTER>.
4. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to increase or decrease the selected value, from 000–255.
5. Press <ENTER>.
• Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the 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 slaves to the master.

Operation
Changing Gobos
To change the gobos in the Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC, do the following:
1. Turn off and disconnect the product from power.
2. Place the product on a flat, level surface with the front facing up.
3. Remove 4 screws with a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the cover.
4. Rotate the gobo wheel until the gobo that needs replacing is accessible.
5. Separate the gobo holder assembly from the gobo wheel by pushing it forward and up. Be careful
not to push the gobo out of the gobo plate.
6. Extract the gobo holder by pulling it backwards out of the product.
7. On a flat surface, remove the tension ring that holds the gobo in place and remove the gobo from
the gobo plate.
8. Insert a new gobo and secure it in place with the tension ring.
9. To reinsert the gobo holder, slide the tip of the gobo holder under the pressure plate near the
center of the gobo wheel.
10. Push the gobo holder assembly inwards. DO NOT force the gobo holder into the gobo wheel slot.
Move the holder slightly from the side to side if needed to get it to sit properly. If correctly installed,
the bottom of the holder will be flush with the gobo wheel.
11. Replace the cover of the Intimidator Spot 375Z IRC and secure with the 4 screws.
NOTE: If the gobo wheel is not accessible, the wrong cover was removed. Replace the
cover immediately and remove the cover on the opposite side of the Intimidator Spot
375Z IRC.

Maintenance

5. Maintenance
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/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean
your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions
could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
1. Unplug the product from power.
2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external
surface/vents.
4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl
alcohol.
5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
