3. Installation
3.1 Rigging the fixture
The Robin CycBar 12 can be rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics. For overhead use, always install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use a safety wire equipped snap hook with screw lock gate. Use the safety wire anchor point for safety cable attachment for this fixture.
Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching
the fixture is secure
Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the device and consult installation with an expert.
Truss installation
1. Bolt clamps (1) to the omega holders (2) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the omega holder.
2. Fasten the omega holders to the brackets of the CycBar 12 by inserting both ¼ turn quick locks (3) into the holes of the brackets and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Clamp the fixture on a truss (5) and tighten both rigging clamps.
4. Pull a safety wire (4) around the truss (5) and lock the snap hook through attachment point (6) as shown on the picture below.

3.2 Connection to the mains
Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
If you install a cord cap on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. The cores in the power cable are coloured according to the following table

This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
Design of the Robin CycBar 12 allows to connect several fixtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors. Needed daisy chain cords are stated in the chapter “Technical specifications “ The max. number of connected fixtures depends on the AC mains power voltage and fixture version: EU version (CE) US version (ETL) 15 fixtures at power supply= 230V 9 fixtures at power supply= 230V 13 fixtures at power supply= 208V 7 fixtures at power supply= 208V 7 fixtures at power supply= 120V 4 fixtures at power supply= 120V
Actual numbers of fixtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the fixtures installation. Do not overload the supply line and the connecting leads. Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualified staff!

3.3 DMX 512 connection
The fixture is equipped with 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input/output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR- connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
Wiring of the XLR connectors: DMX input DMX output XLR socket: XLR plug

To build a DMX chain
1. Connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain.
2. Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture.
3. Always connect the DMX output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Do not overload the link. Max. 32 fixtures may be connected on a DMX link.
Caution: Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output of the last fixture. The termination plug is a 5-pin XLR male plug with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered between Signal (–) and Signal (+).

3.4 Inserting diffuser
Design of the Robin CycBar 12 allows inserting diffuser in front of the glass cover in order to change a beam angle of the fixture. Each diffuser consist of two parts. Always insert both parts of diffuser into fixture.
To insert diffuser:
1. Disconnect the fixture from mains and allow it to cool.
2. Press and hold a diffuser lock (1) and insert the first part of the diffuser (2). Release the diffuser lock.
3. Press and the hold diffuser lock (1) on the opposite side of the Robin CycBar 12 and insert the second part of the diffuser (2). Release the diffuser lock.
4. Check that both diffusers are inserted properly and cannot slide out from the fixture.
4. Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the CycBar 12 is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band.
1. Select option Wireless DMX input from the menu PErS (PErS-->dM.In.--> VirL.).
2. To link the fixture with DMX transmitter.
The fixture 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 “SPEC“ (SPEC-->ViFi.)
3. To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter.
The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “SPEC“ (SPEC-->ViFi-->UnLi.)
