3.5 Rigging the fixture

A structure intended for installation of the fixture (s) must safely hold weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The
structure has to be certificated to the purpose.

The fixture (fixtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes
and regulation.

For overhead installation, the fixture must be always secured with a safety wire

When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.

Allow the fixture to cool for ten minutes before handling.

The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working

load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional
companies.

CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety
of a possible installation, do not install the fixture!

The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of public.

The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

. Danger of fire !
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 m.

The special desing of the temperature filter has allowed to reduce distance betwen
the fixture and lit objects, but the minimum distance of 10 meters between light output
from the moving head and the lit objects must be kept!
(If the fixture will work in eco mode only, this distance can be redused to 7.5 m)

CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characte­ristics .
For securing a fixture to the truss, install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Use only the safety wire with screw-on carabine. Pull the safety wire through the safety attachment point on
the bottom of the base and around the truss as shown on the pictures below.

11
Truss installation
1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (3) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.
2.Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (4) into the holes
of the base and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Pull the safety wire (2) through the attachment point and around the truss (6).

When installing fixtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one fixture with another!

DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time,the installation has to be approved by
an expert!

12
3.6 DMX-512 connection
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired
in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

DMX - output DMX-input

XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):

1 - Shield 1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-) 2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+) 3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected 4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected 5 - Not connected
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-out-
puts, you need to use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

13
3.7 Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft-
ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow
transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

IP address is the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The Robin Pointe is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5 (with
four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.
RJ-45 socket (front view): RJ-45 plug (front view):
1- TD+ 5- Not connected
2- TD- 6- RX-
3- RX+ 7- Not connected
4- Not connected 8- Not connected

Patch cables that connect fixtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers
are connected together:
1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8
If only the fixture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.A
cross-cable has to be used:
1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4
If the fixture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon will appear at the
bottom right corner of the screen:

3.8 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin Pointe is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for
receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band.

The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Person-
ality--> DMX Input -->Wireless.). First two options from the "DMX Input" menu are stated in DMX chart as well
(channel Power/Special functions , range of 10-19 DMX). If DMX input option is changed by DMX command,
the change is permanently written into fixture´s memory.

DMX range of 10-19 switching fixture to the wired/wireless operation is active only during first 10 sec-
onds after switching the fixture on.

After switching the fixture on, the fixture checks both modes of receiving DMX in the following order:

1. For the first five seconds, the fixture receives DMX signal from the wired input. If the Power/Special functions
channel is set at some DMX input option, the fixture will receive DMX value according to this option. If DMX input
option is set to the wired input , this option is saved and checking procedure is finished. If DMX input option is
not set, the fixture continues next 5 seconds in scanning wireless DMX signal-see point 2.

2. For the next 5 seconds the fixture receives wireless DMX signal and again detects if the Power/Special
functions channel is set at some DMX input option, if not, the fixture will take option which is set in the fixture
menu "DMX Input".

To link the fixture with DMX transmitter.

The fixture can be only linked with the transmitter by running the link procedure at DMX transmitter .
After linking , the level of DMX signal ( 0-100 %) is displayed in the menu item “Wireless State“ (Information
-->Wireless State).

To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter.

The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “ Unlink Wireless Adapter“ (Information--> Wireless
State --> Unlink Wireless Adapter.).

Note: If the option "Wireless In/XLR Out" is selected (Personality--> DMX Input -->Wireless In/XLR Out), the
fixture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output. The fixture behaves as " Wireless/
Wired" adapter.

 6. Control menu
The Robin Pointe is equipped with the QVGA Robe touch screen with battery backup which
allows to set the fixture´s behaviour according to your needs, obtain information on its operation, test its
various parts and lastly program it, if it has to be used in a stand-alone mode.
The fixture´s menu can be controlled either by the control buttons or directly by touching the icon.

Control buttons on the front panel:

[ESCAPE] button used to leave the menu without saving changes.

[NEXT] , [PREV] buttons for moving between menu items and symbols, adjusting values.
[ENTER/Display On] button used to enter the selected menu (menu item) and to confirm adjusted value.
If the fixture is disconnected from mains, the button switches the touch screen on.

Icons used in the touch screen menu:

- [back arrow] used to move back to the previous screen (menu).

- [up arrow] used to move up on the previous page.

- [down arrow] used to move down on the next page.

- [confirm] used to save adjusted values, to leave menu or to perform desired action.

- [cancel] used to leave menu item without saving changes.

- [confirm+copy] used to save adjusted values and copy them to the next prog. step.

- [warning icon] used to indicate some error which has occurred in the fixture.

- [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected.

- [display turn] used to turn the display by 180°.

- [slider control] used to recall slider system for setting desired value.

- [keyboard control] used to recall keyboard system for setting desired value.

The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen.
After switching the fixture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo:

21
Note: The green icon at the top right corner of the screen indicates the level of the display battery charging. If
the whole icon is green, the battery is fully charged while the red icon indicates exhausted battery. The battery
charges during fixture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours.
We recommend that the fixture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully charged.
If you switch the fixture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the fixture off and on again. If the
screen lights, the battery is exhausted. In case the screen still does not light, the battery is faulty.
This is also indicated by an error message "Faulty battery" and if such an error message appears the battery
should be replaced immediately. The lifetime of the battery is highly dependent on ambient temperature (and
consequently on base temperature). If the maximum ambient temperatures (as recorded and displayed in menu:
Information -> Fixture Temperatures -> Ambient Temperature -> Maximum NonRes.) are kept within the spec-

7. RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

 10. Maintenance and cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build
up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will
not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances
should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER !
Always disconnect the fixture from the mains before starting any maintenance work

If the fixture is connected to mains, high voltage is present at the heat sink of the lamp
driver and at some parts of this lamp driver in the fixture head !

Lamp driver and its heat sink is

under high voltage!

The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing
the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Dichroic colour filters and gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.

Important! Check the air filters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!

Clean the air filters placed in the fixture head and base. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can
wash them and put back dry.
After replacing the air filters, reset the elapsed time counter in the menu "Information" (Information--->Air Fil-
ters---> Elapsed Time).

Replacing the fuse.

Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
1. Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing
(anti-clockwise).
2. Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
3. Install the new fuse in the fuse holder (only the same type and rating).
4. Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.

Checking plastic parts of the fixture.

The plastic parts of the fixture should be checked for damages and beginning cracks at least every two months.
In addition, the plastic part of the front lens has to be checked mechanically (by means of movement by the
plastic part) if it is firmly fastened to the fixture. If hint of a crack is found on some plastic part, do not use the
fixture until the damaged part will be replaced.
Cracks or another damages of the plastic parts can be caused by the fixture transportation or manipulation and
also ageing process may influence plastic materials.

This checking is necessary for both fixed installations and preparing fixtures for renting. Any free moving parts

37
inside of the fixture head, cracked plastic or any plastic part of front lens not sitting properly in place need to
be immediately replaced.

Example of a crack on the plastic cover (for illustrative purpose).
