can bear at least 10 times the weight 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. 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 .

an expert!

4.6 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):

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:

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. Up to 32 xtures can be conected.

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.

4.7 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 DL7F 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.

(DMX address=144) (DMX address=48) (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

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Di󰀨erent from xture IP addresses)

NET mask: 255.0.0.0

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=48 DMX address=144 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=0

DMX address=1 DMX address=48 DMX address=144 IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1

4.8 Wireless DMX operation

The wireless version of the Robin DL7F Wash 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).

Example:

5. Remotely controllable functions

Colour mixing system

The colour mixing system allows switching among CMY, RGB and 7 colour system ( red, green, blue, amber, cyan, light green, Congo blue).

Virtual colour wheel

This wheel contains 80 preset colours and 10 user-denable colours. To save user colours:

1.Set White Point O󰀨 (Channel Colour Mix Control, range 70-79 DMX).

2.Mix desired colour on colour channels .

3.Stay in desired position of user colours (216-235 DMX) on the Virtual colour wheel for 1 sec.

4.Leave the range of user colours (216-235 DMX) on the Virtual colour wheel.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 for next user colour

6.To permanently save user colours, stay for 3 sec. at DMX range of 110-114 on the channel Colour functions. After that the colour system will be reset (this action lasts about 2 minutes). Previous user colours will be

overwritten.

Colour temperarature correction (CTC)

This channel allows to set calibrated white colour from range of 8000K-2700K. The light ouput can be set to max. intensity or to max. CRI.

Green correction

This channel allows slightly correct tint of white colours.

Frost

Frost module provides variable frost for ne frosting. This frost can be replaced with another frost lter. One frost lter (20°) is installed in the xture, the second frost lter (10°) is included as optional.

Zoom

Motorized zoom unit enables zoom between 7 °- 32° with fresnel lens and 5°-46° with PC lens ( both ranges mesured at 1/2 beam).

Dimmer/Shutter unit

Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the electronic control unit. This unit is also used for strobe e󰀨ects

with variable speed.

Scrim e󰀨ect

Indexable scrim e󰀨ect by 360°. Fine inserting into light beam.

Pan/Tilt

Fast pan/tilt movement due to built-in electronic motion stabilizer (EMS). The electronic motion stabilizer ensures precise position of the xture´s head during its movement and reduces its swinging when the truss shakes.

Pan /Tilt movement range: 0-540°/0-240°.

Barndoors

The xture uses an internal barndoors module for creating di󰀨erent shapes, which also simulates barn door e󰀨ects. The module consists of four individually controllable blades and is rotatable by 180 degrees.

Barndoors macros

Pre-dened barndoors macros allow choice from 41 macro e󰀨ects. Speed of each barndoors e󰀨ect can be

controlled by the Barndoors macro speed channel.

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:

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 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.

Updating software -

The menu item allows you to update software in the xture via either serial or USB port

of PC.

The following are required in order to update software:

- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP/7/8 or Linux

- 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: 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 software. 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 Robe Universal Interface 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. 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.

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 a󰀨ecting 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. The list of commands for Robin DL7F is the following.

11. 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. 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 head´s covers and the 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.
