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.

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!

8. RDM
This fixture is ready for 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 configuration 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 specifications for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific moving lights. RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it. The list of commands for the CycBar 12 is the following.
