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 CycPix 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 (cETLus) 21 fixtures at power supply= 230V 12 fixtures at power supply= 230V 19 fixtures at power supply= 208V 11 fixtures at power supply= 208V 11 fixtures at power supply= 120V 6 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 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input/output. Only use a shielded twisted­pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin/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
1
– Shield
2
- Signal (-)
3
- Signal (+)

5
– Not connected
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.

Warning for outdoor operation!
Fixture´s XLR connectors are dust and water protected according to IP 65 by mating with related X-HD cable connectors. They cannot stay disconnected outdoor. DMX output connector (XLR female) at the last fixture in a DMX line has to be covered with the rubber cap before inserting a terminator. The rubber cap does not supply the terminator. The XLR terminator (male) has to be dust and water protected.
If the fixture is to be outdoor without connecting to DMX line, always interconnect its DMX input with DMX output to keep declared IP rating of XLR connectors.
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 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin CycPix 12 (Robin CycPix 12/W) 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 wireless DMX input from the menu PErS (PErS-->dMX In.-->Wireless).
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 “Stat“ (Special -->Wireless--> Stat).
3. To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter.
The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “Unlink“ (Special-->Wireless-->Unlink).

Note 1: Software update should execute a qualified person. If you lack qualification, do not attempt the update yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2: DMX address, user program and all items in the menu "Pers" will be set to their default (factory) values.
To update software in the fixture:
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 to the directory. II.Fixture software updating.
1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:
- with the DMX input of the fixture if you using the flash cable RS232/DMX
- with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable. Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and the fixture on. Make sure the lamp is switched off (only if the fixture involves a lamp).
2. Switch the fixture to the updating mode by selecting the "SW Upd " item and press [ENTER]. Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture 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 finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfully updated“ will appear in this window and the fixture will reset with the new software. Note: In the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture keeps the updating mode and you have to repeat the software update again.

7. 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 Robin 8 is the following.
