5.8 Rigging the xture
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
The installation of the xture 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.
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

qualications, 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 xture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The xture
must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
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!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the xture’s weight.
Danger of re!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inamma-
ble material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 1.2 m.
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 moving-head can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics .
The Omega holders can be placed in 4 positions on the bottom of the base. Use the clamps (not included in delivery)
with screws M12.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. You must only use
safety ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety rope through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over
the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the xation screw.

5.9 DMX-512 connection/connection between xtures
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.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
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 wishhht 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 between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) into a XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.
5.10 Ethernet connection
The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net communication protocol. The controlling software
from PC (or lighting 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 identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The ColorWash 1200E AT 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):
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 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected
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:
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
pin 3 6 1 8 7 2 5 4
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Page 14

Ethernet connection
Connect the Ethernet-inputs of all xtures in the xture chain with the network.
Option “Ethernet” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture.
Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.
Example:
(DMX address=49)
IP addres=002.168.002.003
Universe=1
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
Ethernet / DMX connection
Options „Ethernet/DMX” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the rst xture (connected to the network)
in the xture chain, next xtures have standard DMX addresses.
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)
IP addres=002.168.002.001

7. 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.
7.1 DMX addressing
There are 512 available channels on DMX link. Every xture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which is dened
as the rst channel from which the xture will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, for the ColorWash 1200E AT the start address to channel 25, the ColorWash 1200E AT will use
the channels 25 to 48 for control (if Mode 3 is selected from „DMX Preseting” menu).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorWash 1200E AT correctly and
independently from any other xture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorWash 1200E AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorWash 1200E AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the ColorWash 1200E 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 with actually address.
This situation can occur if:
-
the 3(or 5) pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected with the input of the ColorWash 1200E
AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input
connector.
7.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ColorWash 1200E AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 1200E SA lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorWash 1200E AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your DMXcontroller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
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 at least 5 minutes 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
ColorWash 1200E AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has
expired.
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%.
Colour temperature correction ltre lowers the colour temperature from 5600K to 3200 K.
Colour wheel 1
The ColorWash 1200E AT features a colour wheel 1 with 4 colour positions, UV lter and 6000 K temp. lter and the
hole (open). It is also possible to rotate the colour wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called „Rainbow effect“
is created. Auto random colour selection,random colour selection by audio control is possible.
Colour wheel 2
The ColorWash 1200E AT included a colour wheel 2 with 6 colour positions and the hole (open). It is also possible to
rotate the colour wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called „Rainbow effect“ is created. Auto random colour
selection,random colour selection by audio control is possible.
Zoom
Motorized zoom,zoom range depends on the front lens.Open internal Fresnel lens (LightMax mode) provides a high
intensity spot (channel “Fresnel opening“ is set at 85 DMX).
Fresnel lens Beam angle
LightMax mode 10°
Minimum zoom 13°
Maximum zoom 44°
Wide-angle lens Beam angle
LightMax mode 68°
Minimum zoom 75°
Maximum zoom 87°
Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may also be used for
strobe effect.

Be careful, the Pan/Tilt Feedback OFF is not the standard operation and the head of the xture can be demaged!
Note: If the feedback was switched off, the pan/tilt-position is changed by an external force and the feedback is switched
on again, the moving head might not to be synchronized with the DMX signal. You have to make a reset in order
to synchronize the moving head with the DMX signal.
Microphone Sensitivity - Select this function to adjust the microphone sensitivity from 1(maximum) to 20 (minimum). If
the sensitivity is correctly adjusted, the mark will appear (blinking in the bass beat.)
Fan Modes - By using this function you can choose 2 types of the fan speed operating modes.
Auto Cooling - The fans automatically raise their speed in order to control inside temperature of the lighting,
if the temperature inside increases about certain level (the low fan speed reduces the cooling of the lighting).
This cycle can repeat several times until the temperature inside is on a suitable level.
High Cooling - The cooling fans work on max. speed (max. cooling). This mode we recommend for high ambient
temperature (30 °C and more).
Pan/Tilt mode - Use this menu to set the character of the pan/tilt movement.
Time mode - Pan and tilt will move with different speeds and they will come at the same time to end point (pan
and tilt sets its optimal speed).
Speed Mode - Pan and tilt will move with the same speed as adjusted with the channel 5 (Pan/Tilt speed).
E.g.pan will come to the end point and wait for tilt, which has longer track.

Updating software - 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 qualied person.If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2:DMX address, IP address ,programs 1-3 and all functions in menu Personality 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, name
of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.
SoftwareID describes the versions of xture 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 xture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating Software in menu Special Functions
on the xture control panel.(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 this 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

Note: All motors in „Power down mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp on from the control panel is blocked.
11. RDM
This xture supports an RDM operation. The 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 conguration 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 specications for DMX512, the
RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specic
moving lights.
The ROBE DreamBox with an additional ROBE RDM-network software provides the RDM functionality. The DreamBox
supports RDM - new control protocol featuring AutoPatch and Fixture Status Monitoring.

14. 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 signicantly 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 and
cleaning 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 lamelas 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 the air lters from the front fans with a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry.
Replacing the air lters.
1)Disconect the xture from power.
2)Remove both top and bottom cover of the head (by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on each cover)
3)Remove the air lters (they are xed with a Velcro fastener) from grids.
4)Clean or replace the air lters.
5)Place the lters on the grid and put head cover back.
6)Reset the elapsed time counter in menu Fixture information (Fixture Information--->Air Filters---> Elapsed
Time.
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 the same type
and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
1) Unscrew 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.
4) Replace the fuseholder in the housing and x it.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
