4.Installation
4.1Fitting/Exchanging the lamp
DANGER !
Install the lamp with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before !
To insert the lamp MSR 575W/2 open the small cover at the rear of the projector by loosening the 3 screws „X, Y, Z” on the lamp cover. Gently pull out the lamp socket assembly. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket. Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please follow the lamp manufacturer‘s notes! Do not touch the glass-bulb bare hand during the installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lamp holder system. Reinsert the lamp assembly and tighten the 3 screws again. Before striking the lamp, reset the "LAti/rSEt" and "LASt/rSEt"counters in the "InFO" menu on the control panel, by pressing the [ Up ] and [ Down ] buttons in one time and then conrming with the [ Enter ] button.
Do not operate this xture with opened housing-cover!
4.2Lamp adjustment
The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between the lamps, ne adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp, cancel all effects, open the shutter and set the dimmer intensity to maximum and focus the light on a at surface (wall) or use function "LAAd" in the Special functions of the control board . Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws „A, B, C”. Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot, diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot- spot, adjust the lamp until the light even.To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws „A, B, C” clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reector. „Push” the lamp out by turning the screws „A,
B, C” counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time the light is bright and evenly distributed.

4.4 Rigging
DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety at­tachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture 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 rst 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 an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projector must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible instal­lation, do NOT install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.
Danger of re ! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,5 m.
CAUTION! Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The projector can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characte­ristics .

4.6 DMX 512 connection, master/slave connection
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the xtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
Building a serial DMX-chain:
If you are using the standard controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables. Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always connect output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected. Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master xture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the rst slave. Always connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 xtures). Caution:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master xture and into the output of the last slave xture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

6.Controller mode
The xtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller.The xtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
6.1 DMX addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX xture address, which is dened as the rst channel from which the COLORMIX 575 AT will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the COLORMIX 575 AT will use the channel 5 to 15 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any o verlapping channels in order to control each COLORMIX 575 AT correctly and independ­ently from any other xture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more COLORMIX 575 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu "A001").
Controlling:
After having addressed all COLORMIX 575 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note:After switching on, the COLORMIX 575 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to ash "A001" with actually set address. This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the COLORMIX 575 AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector.
Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last xture in the link in order to ensure proper transmis­sion on the DMX data link.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The COLORMIX 575 AT is to be operated with a MSR 575W/2 lamp. A relay inside of the COLORMIX 575 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel on the top side of the projector or via your controller without affecting the rest of the lighting. To switch On/Off the lamp, please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp " (menu "LAMP"). Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be cold before re-strik­ing. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) after having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the COLORMIX 575 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message "HEAt" will appear on the control panel display of the COLORMIX 575 AT. If the ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear
"LA.Er", meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
Colour wheel
The COLORMIX 575 AT features a colour-wheel with 6 color positions - 3 dichroic colors,2 correction lters 3200 K, 5600 K and UV lter + open. It is also possible to rotate the color-wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called "Rainbow effect“ is created.
CMY colours mixing system
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color lters. A continuous range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each lter from 0 to 100%.
Beam effects
The beam shaper allow you to widen and atten beam. Beam shaper rotates 180°. Frost lter on the same wheel as beam shaper softens the beam.
Zoom
Motorized zoom unit enables the beam to be zoomed between 10° and 26° beam angle with the standard Fresnel lens.
Dimmer
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the special dimmer unit.
Shutter/Strobe
Extremely fast shutter may also be used for strobe effect (max.10 ashes per second).
Fans
The COLORMIX 575 AT is cooled by the two axial fans.By the control board using the „FAnS” function you can choose 2 types of the fan speed operating modes.

7. Stand - alone mode
The xtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be different for every xture.To set the program to be played,see the "Stand-alone setting" ( menu "St.AL."). "Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single xture (the xture may be set to the master /slave mode or controller mode ) or to multiple xtures operating synchronously. Synchronous operation of multiple xtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA1-SLA9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one xture.To set the xture as the master or slave , see the "Addressing" (menu "A001"). If the master xture runs a reset or plays test(program) ,all slaves will execute these acts too. You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and connected to the master/slave chain. The master xture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave xtures.All xtures have a denite, synchronized starting point when playing back their programs.The number of running program is the same in all slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL." ).Every xture runs its program repeatedly ,starting the program step No.1 when requested by the master . For example: If the slave xture has a shorter program length, it will contino usly repeat its program until the master xture nishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be nished). If the slave xture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps (slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.
Note:Disconect the xtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can occur and the xtures will not work properly! It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master xture and into the output of the last slave xture in the data link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.

Upd.M. ---Updating mode.Using this function you can update software in the xture via PC and serial link. The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Linux
- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS232/DMX (No.13050624) Note1:Software update should execute a qualied person.If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2:DMX address,programs 1-3 and all functions in menu Personality "PErS." will be set to their default values To update software in the xture:
1.Installation of DMX Software Uploader:
1.DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ROBE web site at WWW.robe.cz.
2.Make a new directory ( e.g. Robe_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3.Unpack the program from the archive. Program le has name:DSU_name of corresponding xture_SoftwareID.If the Robe xture is produced in magnetic and electronic ballast version, the name of the DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.SoftwareID describes the versions of fixture software included in DMX Software Uploader. Higher number means later software versions.
2.Fixture software updating:
1.Determine which of your COM port is available on your PC and connect it with to the DMX input of the xture using the Flash cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the xture from the other xtures in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and the xture. Make sure that the lamp is switched off.
2.Switch the fixture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating mode in menu Special Functions on the fixture control panel:SPEC-->UPd-->yES.(From this option you cannot return back to the main menu. If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the xture to leave this option!)
3.It is recommended that you exit all programs before running the Software Uploader.
4.Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button. If the conection is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to perform software update.If the option "Incremental Update"isn´t checked all processors will be updated (including processors with the same software version). If you wish to update only later versions of processors, enable the Incremental Update check box. Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window. When the update is finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfuly updated‘ will appear in this window and the xture will reset with the new software. Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the xture remains in the update mode and you have to repeat the software update again. For example: The xture was switched off before nishing software upload. After switching the xture on again, the xture is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat software update from your PC.

13. Maintenance and cleaning
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 1All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tighly connected and must not be corroded.
2)There must not be any deformations on housings, xations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3)Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.
4)The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
DANGER TO LIFE !
Disconnect from the mains before starting
maintenance operation!
It is essential that the xture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-uid residues must not build up on or within the xture. Other­wise, the xture‘s light-output will be signicantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the xture to function reliably throughout its life.
Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
The front fresnel lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the xture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-lters should be cleaned monthly.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers. Please refer to the instructions under "Fitting/Exchanging the lamp".

Replacing the fuse
If the lamp burns out, the ne-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of same type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead. Procedure: Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the xture with a tting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise). Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder. Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuseholder. Step 4: Replace the fuseholder in the housing and x it.
Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts. If the power supply cable of this device will be damaged (cable rmly connected with the device), it has to be replaced by authorized distributor only in order to avoid hazards.
Specications are subject to change without notice.
