4.3 Rigging the xture
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.
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 xture. 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 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 moving head!
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 inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 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 xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characte ristics .
For securing a xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
Use only safety wire with screw-on carabine. Pull the safety wire through the carrying handles and around the
truss as shown on the pictures below.
Note: If the safety wire is too long, whip it several times around the trusss in order to attach the xture tight.
In case of an accident, the way of the falling xture will be short.

4.4 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.
1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
4 - 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 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:
1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected
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 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.
10
4.5 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 identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The Robin DL4X 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.
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)" has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture.

Ethernet / DMX operation
Options “Art2DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu on 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=35 DMX address=131
IP addres=002.168.002.002
Universe=0
DMX address=1 DMX address=35 DMX address=131
IP addres=002.168.002.003
Universe=1

4.6 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin DL4X 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.).
Note: If the option "Wireless In/XLR Out" is selected (Personality--> DMX Input -->Wireless In/XLR Out), the
xture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output. The xture behaves as " Wireless/
Wired" adapter.

7. Control menu
The Robin DL4X Light 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 conrm 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.
- [conrm] used to save adjusted values, to leave menu or to perform desired action.
- [cancel] used to leave menu item without saving changes.
- [conrm+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.
- [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected.
- [display turn] used to turn the display by 180°.
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:
18
Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the current stored DMX address:
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 o 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 specied limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specied
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 the green arrow at the bottom right corner of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to enter
the " Address" menu.

- DMX Software Uploader
- Flash cable RS232/DMX No.13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
- Robe Universal Interface (if you want to use an USB port of PC)
Note 1: 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 items in the menu "Personality" will be set to their
default (factory) values.
To update software in the xture:
I. Installation of the 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. If the Robe xture is produced in both magnetic
and electronic ballast version, name of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.
II.Fixture software updating.
1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:
- with the DMX input of the xture if you using the ash cable RS232/DMX
- with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable.
Disconnect the xture from the other xtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and
the xture on. Make sure the lamp is switched o (only if the xture involves a lamp).
2. Switch the xture to the updating mode by touching the "Updating Software " item
Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch o and on the xture
to escape from this menu.
We recommend to cancel all running programs before starting the Software Uploader.
3. Run the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click on the Connect button.
(Select COM if the serial port is used or DreamBox1 if the USB port is used).
If the connection is OK, click on the “Start Uploading button“ to start uploading. It will take several
minutes to perform software update.
If the option "Incremental Update" is not checked, all processors will be updated (including
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.
After updating, the xture, calibration of the LED driver may start (it depends on software version
before calibration).

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 conguration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely aecting
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.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

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 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.
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 lters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!
Clean the air lters placed in the xture´s covers and 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.
