3.2 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 certicated 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
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 qualications, 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.
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 an 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 on a truss without altering its operation characteristics .
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 tightly.
In case of an accident, the way of the falling xture will be shorter.

3.3 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 between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin (5-pin) XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

3.4 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 300E Wash 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:

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 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
- Robe Universal Interface (if you want to use an USB port of PC)
Note : Software update should execute a qualied person. If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
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 off (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 off 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.
7. 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 affecting
33
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.

8. Wireless DMX operation
The Robin 1000 LEDBeam 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
34
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.).

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 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 with water and a neutral soap is recommended, under no circumstances should
alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER !
Disconnect from the mains before starting any
maintenance work
The head lenses will require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the lightoutput very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the base should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
11.1 Replacing fuse
IOnly replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type and rating.
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 fuse holder in the housing and x it.
