PREVENTING ELECTRIC SHOCK
• This machine uses mains electrical power at 100-240VAC. When directly contacted, such voltages are
hazardous to human life. Follow all local electrical codes and take precautions when using this product.
• This product is designed to operate from three-wire power systems, where one of the wires is a safety
ground. DO NOT disconnect the safety ground, or use extension cords or adapter plugs to connect this
machine to a two-wire system. Operation without a safety ground may result in hazardous electrical shock.
• Use only extension cords that are of appropriate length and are rated for X-Effects LED’s specified voltage
and current. If an extension cord shows signs of wear or gets warm to the touch, discontinue its use and
obtain a cord with a higher current rating. Improper extension cords are hazardous and may result in poor
performance due to excessive voltage drop.
• Disconnect unit from power source before servicing and when not in use.

6
MAINTAINING SAFE OPERATION
• Do not look directly into the X-Effects LED Projector. Prolonged exposure to the light beam can cause
damage to the eyesight.
• Use only Rosco spare parts and accessories so as to not void the system warranty.
• Allow the unit to cool before attempting to service.
• Rosco X-Effects LED Projectors must only be serviced by a qualified technician.
• Rosco X-Effects LED Projector is not certified for use in hazardous locations
• Rosco X-Effects LED Projector is designed for operation within the range of -4° to 113°F (-20° to +45°C).

ASSEMBLY
1.) Insert Effects Glass Gobos
Prior to operating the X-Effects LED Projector, it is recommended that the unit’s Effects Glass Gobos (96mm)
be inserted into the fixture’s Motor Rotation Module.
The Motor Rotation Module can be accessed by loosening the (4) recessed quick-turn screws on the front of
the unit. (Image A)
Carefully remove the front Lens Tube Module and set aside. Check to ensure Effects Glass Gobos are free of
dust, fingerprints and other residue prior to inserting into the projector.
Insert the Effects Glass Gobos into the rotation carriers, ensuring that the flat portions of the effects wheel
flanges are facing each other. Improper orientation of the effects wheels can cause damage to the unit or
may not produce the desired illumination effect. (Image C, D)
Replace the front Lens Tube Module and securely tighten the (4) quick-turn screws.

2.) Insert Focusing Lens
Your Rosco X-Effects LED Projector requires a focusing lens (sold separately) to project its effects properly.
Four X-Effects LED Projector Lens options are available, providing a range of beam angles for various
projection distances. Select the appropriate lens to optimize the effect in your venue:
297000000019 X-Effects LED Projector Lens - 19º, Black
297000000030 X-Effects LED Projector Lens - 30º, Black
297000000050 X-Effects LED Projector Lens - 50º, Black

Use a non-abrasive micro-fiber cloth with lens cleaner to remove residue from the X-Effects LED Projector
lenses.
Install the X-Effects LED Projector Lens into the opening on the front of the unit prior to operation. Insert
the small diameter of the lens tube into the opening on the front of the projector and rotate clockwise to
thread the lens into place. Rotate the lens clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the desired focal position.

3.) Wiring Instructions
Your Rosco X-Effects LED Projector will include a detached power+data cable with female UTL connector
that mates with the connector on the back of the luminaire. Units sold in North America will utilize a cable
harness assembly. Units sold outside of North America will utilize a hybrid power+ data cable. The user end
of the cables are unterminated and should be connected to appropriate power and data supplies.
Note: Power and data connections should be performed by a qualified electrician and are the responsibility
of the installer or end user.
The power wiring color-code for all product sold in North America is as follows:
Black – Live/Hot lead
White – Neutral lead
Green – Ground
The data wiring color-code is as follows:

The Rosco X-Effects LED Projector offers manual operation, or remote operation via user-supplied DMX512
data input.
Manual Mode
The X-Effects LED Projector beam intensity, motor speeds and direction can be adjusted independently via
the dials on the rear panel.
Rotating the motor speed/direction dials fully clockwise or
counter-clockwise will achieve maximum forward/reverse
rotation speed. Centering the indicator in a vertical position
will bring the motor to a complete stop.
The output intensity on 5500K/White LED unit can be
adjusted from 0-100% using the bottom center control
knob on the rear panel. The RGBW units will default to
all LEDs operating @ 70% maximum output, providing a
mixed White light @ 5500K. Turning the Dimming knob will
override the default output condition, with all LED colors
moving in sync (maintains 5500K White light). Adjustments
to the individual Red, Green Blue and White LEDs will
require DMX control. Motor

DMX Control
Rosco X-Effects LED Projectors are equipped with RDM, allowing DMX addressing to be established
remotely via your DMX/RDM controls device. The RDM function also provides the ability to track operating
temperature and run hours on your X-Effects LED Projector.
• The default DMX address is 001 on all X-Effects LED units shipped from the factory.
• The RDM address will reference Rosco’s 16-bit UID (0x5252) with the fixture’s 6-digit serial number
as the suffix.
When a valid DMX signal is presented to the X-Effects LED Projector, DMX takes precedence over any
manual settings. In the event of an interruption to the DMX signal, the X-Effects LED Projector will maintain
the last acquired DMX input settings, however any subsequent adjustment to the manual controls will
override any stored settings.
5500K X-Effects LED Projectors require 5 DMX channels for control:
1. Motor 1 Speed
2. Motor 1 Direction
3. Motor 2 Speed
4. Motor 2 Direction
5. % Output (dimming)

19
RGBW X-Effects LED Projectors require a total of 8 DMX channels for control:
1. Motor 1 Speed 5. Red Color Output
2. Motor 1 Direction 6. Green Color Output
3. Motor 2 Speed 7. Blue Color Output
4. Motor 2 Direction 8. White Color Output
Operation
Ensure the correct power and data connections (if applicable) have been made to the X-Effects LED
Projector. Power up the unit and adjust the focus of the beam pattern by rotating the lens tube clockwise or
counter-clockwise.
Adjust speed and direction of the left and right drive motors using the on-board controls or remote DMX
console.
Adjust dimming/output level via on-board control or remote DMX console.
Adjust color (RGBW units) using remote DMX console.
