vc_marshall Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have the personality for the fixture but the instruction manual that explains what the buttons do would be nice if anyone knows where one is, or can find one. I've had a hunt around the internet and can't find one. I gather it's now been replaced by some iSolution thingy. I found a manual for a very similar fixture but it's not the exact one.Also does anyone know if it can be mounted on truss, there are some holes on the bottom but no clamps. I was given the things for nothing so can't complain at the lack of manual and clamps; they were delivered while I was out so...Failing that I will just press the buttons and see!

KevinE Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The Acme agents are Prolight Concepts Ltd of Darwen. Give them a ring, they're pretty helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi Is this manual what you were looking for? there is not anything on google for the "SpotKnight" but this is an Acme Knight Spot so you may well find its the same or very similar.

KevinE Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 As the OP mentions, they've all been rebranded by Acme as 'I-Move' (moving heads) and iSolution (mirrors and effects) and iRock and iColor and so on...though all by Acme..maybe a better-quality sounding name (Acme always reminds me of the duff gadgets that Wylie Coyote used). They were originally Spot Knight, Spot Queen, Spot King etc in the original Acme OEM catalogue. http://www.hebronbrickmakers.info/images/WylieCoyote.jpg The iMove IM5S is the basic equivalent and the buttons work in the same way.

tokm Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 In regards to rigging them to a bar/truss/whatever.. Its been a few years, but, from what I remember, the fixtures each came with a bracket and used 4 short bolts to connect to bracket to the bottom of the fixture.. Now, not all's lost as the 2 bigger bolts are m10 size (we found this out when the bolts got lost and we had to find some replacements), a simple solution would be to just stick some m10 bolts through a pair of hook clamps into the bottom of the fixture. Sure the base will sit slightly rotated clockwise or anti-clockwise depending on which way round you've rigged it, but that'll not impede its use.

KevinE Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I would say that Prolight will be able to supply a proper omega-clamp style fitting as a spare part, I concurr they originally came with 2 thread sizes of Allen Machine Screw (4 in total) which are very short indeed and no doubt for good reason!!

cscott0202 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Hi all. I have been reading this short thread, and would also like some advice.I have 2 x Acme Spot Knights that I will be using in a professional space with the control surface of Strand 520i ( I am aware of the limitation of these 5 channel movers). However I was wandering whether anyone had a fixture personality already written that they could send?? Also I am in need of suitable clamps to rig from height. Can anyone point me to an online store/shop where I could buy the suitable G/C Clamps. Your help would be gratefully appreciated. Many Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
