Mode). You can install one or two handles in different positions as needed. See picture below. Before switching

the Follow Spot Mode off, remove handle (handles) from the xture.

4.8 Rigging the xture

A structure intended for installation of the xture(s) must safely hold weight of the xture(s) placed on it. The structure has to be certicated to the purpose.

The xture (xtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes

and regulation.

For overhead installation, the xture must be always secured with a safety wire that

can bear at least 10 times the wight of the xture

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 a skilled person once a year.

Allow the xture 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 qualications, 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 xture!

The xture has to be installed out of the reach of public.

The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.

Danger of re !

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable

material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 m.

The minimum distance of 8 meters between light output from the moving head and the

lit objects must be kept!

CAUTION!

Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.

Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the

structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.

The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its

operation characteristics .

For securing a xture to the truss, install two safety wires which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. Use only the safety wires with screw-on carabines.

Omega holders positions:

Truss installation

1. Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (2) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.

2. Fasten the omega holders to the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into

the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.

3. Clamp the xture on a truss (6) and tighten the rigging clamps.

4. Pull one safety wire (4) around the truss (6) and through the handle (7) and another safety wire (4) pull

around the truss (6) and through the handle (7) and lock the screw-on carabine through attachment point (5)

as shown on the picture below.

When installing xtures side-by-side,

4.9 DMX-512 connection

The xture 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 xture or one xture with another.

DMX - output DMX-input

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

If you are using the standard DMX 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.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always connect one 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 Ω resistor be- tween Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin (5-pin) XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

1 - Shield 2 - Signal (-) 3 - Signal (+) 4 - Not connected 5 - Not connected

4.10 Ethernet connection

The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control software 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 identies any node (xture) on a network. The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The Robin MMX Spot 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 xture 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 xtures 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 xture 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 xture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon will appear at the bottom right corner of the screen:

Direct Ethernet operation

Connect the Ethernet inputs of all xtures with the Ethernet network. Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at each xture. Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe at each xture.

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from xture IP addresses)

NET mask: 255.0.0.0

(DMX address=150) (DMX address=42) (DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.004 IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1

Ethernet / DMX operation

Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at rst xture. Option “Ethernet To DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu at the rst xture (connected to the Ethernet) in the xture chain, next xtures have standard DMX setting. Connect the Ethernet input of the rst xture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this xture with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected to the DMX chain.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect it in the DMX-output of the last xture. Example:

DMX address=1 DMX address=42 DMX address=150 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=0

DMX address=1 DMX address=42 DMX address=150 IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1

5. Remotely controllable functions

Lamp

The Osram Lok-it! HTI 1700/PS is a highly efcient, single-ended short-arc metal halide lamp with 6000 Kelvin colour temperature. The new Lok-it! plug’n’play system allows a quick one-touch lamp

replacement.

The xture allows three levels of the lamp power: 1700W, 1500W and Silent (silent mode - the lamp power is auto-controlled to ensure minimum noise of xture fans).

Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is a cold restrike type, that means, that the lamp has to be cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait a while after having switched the lamp off before you can switch it on again.

7. Control menu

The Robin BMFL Spot is equipped with the QVGA Robe touch screen with battery backup which allows to set the xture´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 xture´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 conrm adjusted value.

If the xture 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.

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

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

- [conrm+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 xture.

- [lamp menu] used to switch on/off the lamp and to set lamp functions.

- [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected.

- [menu rotation] used to rotate menu 180 degrees from current orientation.

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

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

- [air lters cleaning] used to signal that cleaning period of the air lters elapsed.

- [250 hours remain] used to signal that 250 hours remain to change the lamp.

- [50 hours remain] used to signal that 50 hours remain to change the lamp.

The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen.

After switching the xture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo:

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 xture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours. We recommend that the xture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully

charged.

If you switch the xture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the xture 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 specied limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specied maximum temperature, the lifetime of the batteries could be considerably shortened even up to just one year or less and also result in physical damage (battery leakage) or unreliable xture functions. Damage caused by batteries failed due to exceeded maximum ambient temperature cannot be claimed under

warranty terms.

Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the cur-

rent stored DMX address (and the end address for selected DMX mode):

processors with the same software version).

If you wish to update only later versions of processors, check the “Incremental Update box“.

Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the Info Box window. When the update is nished, the line with the text “The xture is successfully updated“ will appear in this window and the xture will reset with the new software. Note: In the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the xture keeps the updating mode

and you have to repeat the software update again.

7.7 Icon "Lamp menu"

Lamp Status - The item enables to switch the lamp on/off. The Osram Lok-it! HTI 1700/PS lamp is a cold restrike type, that means, that it has to be cold before striking.

Settings - The menu offers many items for setting of lamp behaviour. Lamp Power - The menu offers two levels of the lamp power: 1700W, 1500W and the option Silent,

at which the lamp power is auto-controlled to ensure minimum noise of the xture fans.

All these options are available at DMX channel 6. The factory setting is 1700W.

Lamp Ignition Delay - The item allows to set the time delay( 0-90sec.) before igniting the lamp by DMX

command. If the lamp is started directly from the control panel, the set time delay will be ignored. Lamp Light Sensor - Select this item to switch the light sensor off. The option "On” is intended for a standard operation. The option "Off” is for “emergency operation” only! If the lamp light sensor is switched off, the xture

will still try to ignite the lamp (even when the lamp is damaged or absent), on this account some electronics parts of the xture can be damaged!

Lamp On/Off Settings - Use the menu to set rules for automatic switching on/off the lamp. Lamp On Power On - If the item is on, the lamp will be automatically turn on after switching the

xture on.

Lamp Off via DMX - The item enables to switch the lamp off via DMX command from DMX controller. Lamp On if DMX Present - The item allows you to strike the lamp automatically after 26 seconds

if DMX signal is present on the xture´s DMX input.

Lamp Off if not DMX - The item allows you to switch off the lamp automatically after 2 minutes

if DMX signal is missing on the xture´s DMX input.

8. RDM

This xture 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 conguration 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 specications

for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive

messages from specic moving lights. RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

9. Wireless DMX operation

The wireless version of the Robin BMFL Spot 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 (Personality--> 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 xture´s memory.

DMX range of 10-19 switching xture to the wired/wireless operation is active only during rst 10 seconds after switching the xture on.

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

1. For the rst ve seconds, the xture receives DMX signal from the wired input. If the Power/Special functions channel is set at some DMX input option, the xture 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 nished. If DMX input option is not set, the xture continues next 5 seconds in scanning wireless DMX signal-see point 2.

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

menu "DMX Input".

To link the xture with DMX transmitter. The xture 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 xture from DMX transmitter. The xture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “ Unlink Wireless Adapter“ (Information--> Wireless State --> Unlink Wireless Adapter).

12. Maintenance and cleaning

It is absolutely 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. A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning uid is recommended, under no circumstances

should alcohol or solvents be used!

DANGER !

Disconnect from the mains before starting any

maintenance work

The front objective 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. Dichroic colour lters, CMY lamellas, gobo and graphic 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 lters periodically and clean before they become

clogged!

Clean two air lters placed in the xture´s covers and two in the xture base. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed

air or you can wash them and put back dry.

After replacing the air lters, reset the elapsed time counter in the menu "Information" (Information--->Air Filters---> 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 tting 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 x it.
