3. Installation
3.1 Rigging the fixture
The Robin CycPix 12 can be rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics.
For overhead use, always install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must
only use safety cable with screw-on carbine. 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.
For overhead installation, the fixture must be always secured with a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times
the wight of the fixture
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 clamp (1) to the omega holder (2) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the omega holder.
2. Fasten the omega holder to the bracket of the CycPix 12 by inserting both ¼ turn quick locks (3) into
the holes of the bracket and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Clamp the fixture on a truss (5) and tighten the rigging clamps.
4. Pull a safety wire (4) around the truss (5) and lock the screw-on carabine 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 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 (+)
4
– Not connected
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).
