3.5 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 certicated 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 qualications, 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.

Danger of re !

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable

material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 m.

Minimum distance of 18 m between the moving head and

illuminated

objects must be

kept!

(If the xture is operated in Eco mode, this distance can be redused to 15 m).

CAUTION!

Use 2 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 in any orientation on a truss without altering its

operation characte ristics .

For securing the xture to the truss, install a safety wire which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate.

Truss installation

1.Bolt clamps (4) to the brackets Omega CL (1) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the hole in the bracket

Omega CL.

2.Fasten the brackets Omega CL on the bottom of the base by means of the quick-lock fasteners (2) and tighten
them fully clockwise.

3. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point (5) and around the truss (6) as shown on the picture below.

When installing xtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one xture with another!

In order to protect the internal parts of the head from the sun, the function

HOME POSITION must be switched ON before switching the xture o󰀨.

The HOME POSITION function is located on the Power/Special functions channel (120-129 DMX). If the func­tion is on, the xture will automatically detect via G-sensor whether the xture is on the oor or hangs on the
truss or is mounted sideways on the truss and moves the pan and tilt to the position (including movement of
zoom and focus lenses to the front part of the head) in which the front lens of the head will always face down.
Owing this position of the xture head, there is not chance to burn internal parts of the head by the sun light.

3.7 Ethernet connection

The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet (or MANet, MANet2, sACN) communication
protocol. The control software running on your light console has to support some of the protocols.
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 identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The Robin Pointe 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.

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:

Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at rst xture.
Option “Ethernet To DMX” has to be selected from the menu “Ethernet Mode” at the rst xture (connected to
the Ethernet) in the xture chain, next xtures have standard DMX setting.
Connect the Ethernet input of the rst xture in the data chain with the network. Connect DMX output of this
xture with DMX input of the next xture until all xtures are connected to the DMX chain.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

Example:

DMX address=236 DMX address=196 DMX address=1
IP addres=002.168.002.002

3.8 Wireless DMX operation

The wireless version of the Robin MegaPointe 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
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.).

Note: If the option "Wireless In/XLR Out" is selected (Personality--> DMX Input -->Wireless In/XLR Out), the
xture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output. The xture behaves as " Wireless/

Wired" adapter.

6. Control menu

The Robin MegaPointe is equipped with the QVGA Robe touch screen with battery backup which
allows to set the xture´s behaviour according to your needs, obtain information on its operation, test its various
parts and program it, if it has to be used in a stand-alone mode.
The xture´s menu can be controlled either by the control buttons or directly by touching the icon.

Control buttons on the front panel

[ESCAPE] button used to leave the menu without saving changes.
[NEXT] , [PREV] buttons for moving between menu items and symbols, adjusting values.
[ENTER/Display On] button used to enter the selected menu (menu item) and to conrm adjusted value.

If the xture is disconnected from mains, the button switches the touch screen on.

Icons used in the touch screen menu:

- [back arrow] used to move back to the previous screen (menu).

- [up arrow] used to move up on the previous page.

- [down arrow] used to move down on the next page.

- [conrm] used to save adjusted values, to leave menu or to perform desired action.

- [cancel] used to leave menu item without saving changes.

- [conrm+copy] used to save adjusted values and copy them to the next prog. step.

- [warning icon] used to indicate some error which has occurred in the xture.

- [lamp menu] used to switch on/o󰀨 the lamp and to set lamp functions.

- [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected.

- [display turn] used to turn the display by 180°.

- [slider control] used to recall slider system for setting desired value.

- [keyboard control] used to recall keyboard system for setting desired value.

The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen.
After switching the xture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo:

23

Note: The green icon at the top right corner of the screen indicates the level of the display battery charging. If
the whole icon is green, the battery is fully charged while the red icon indicates exhausted battery. The battery
charges during xture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours.
We recommend that the xture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully charged.
If you switch the xture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the xture o󰀨 and on again. If the
screen lights, the battery is exhausted. In case the screen still does not light, the battery is faulty.
This is also indicated by an error message "Faulty battery" and if such an error message appears the battery
should be replaced immediately. The lifetime of the battery is highly dependent on ambient temperature (and
consequently on base temperature). If the maximum ambient temperatures (as recorded and displayed in menu:
Information -> Fixture Temperatures -> Ambient Temperature -> Maximum NonRes.) are kept within the spec­ied limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specied
maximum temperature, the lifetime of the batteries could be considerably shortened even up to just one year
or less and also result in physical damage (battery leakage) or unreliable xture functions.
Damage caused by batteries failed due to exceeded maximum ambient temperature cannot be claimed under
warranty terms.

Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the cur­rent stored DMX address:

After having calibrated all e󰀨ects, touch the [conrm] to save adjusted values and reset the xture.

Load Default Calibrations - The item loads default (factory) calibration values.

Updating software -

The menu item allows you to switch the xture to the updating mode and to update soft­ware in the xture via either serial or USB port of PC.
The following is required in order to update software in the xture:

- PC running Windows 7/10 or Linux

- DMX Software Uploader

- Flash cable RS232/DMX P/N.13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of your PC)

- Robe Universal Interface (if you want to use a USB port of your PC)

Note 1: Software update should execute a qualied person. If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2: 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:

1. DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ROBE web site at WWW.robe.cz.
Save the download le (for example, "DSU_RobinMegapointe_17033149.zip") to a folder on your computer.

31

2. Extract the les in the .zip le to a folder on your computer.

3. If you use the ash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your computer with DMX input of the xture

by means of this cable.

If you use the Robe Universal Interface, connect a USB port of your computer with the Robe Universal Interface
by means of the USB cable and DMX input of the xture with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface

via a DMX cable.

4. Disconnect the xture from the other xtures in a DMX chain. Make sure the lamp is switched o󰀨.

5. Switch the xture to the updating mode.
Note: If you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch o󰀨 and on the xture
to escape from the updating mode.
We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the Software Uploader.

6. Double-click the software uploader le (for example, " DSU_RobinMegapointe_17033149.exe") in the
extracted les. The Software Uploader program will start.

7. Select desired port and then click on the "Connect" button. (Select desired "COM "if serial port of your PC is
used or "

Robe Universal Interface"

if the

Robe Universal Interface

is used).
If the connection is OK, click the “Start Uploading" button to start software 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 case upload process is interrupted (e.g. power loss), the xture stays in “Updating mode” and you will
have to repeat the software update again.

6.7 Icon "Lamp menu"

Lamp Status - The item enables to switch the lamp on/o󰀨.

Settings - The menu o󰀨ers many items for setting of lamp behaviour.

Lamp Power - The item allows to set desired power of the lamp

Eco mode - Lamp power is reduced to 380W, lamp life is extended to 2000 hrs.

Standard mode - Lamp runs on max. power of 470W. Lamp life is 1500hrs. This mode is set as
default.
This setting can be temporarily changed by DMX command at "Power/Special functions" channel
Lamp Ignition Delay - The item allows to set the time delay( 0-90sec.) before igniting the lamp by DMX
command. If the lamp is started directly from the control panel, the time delay will be ignored.

Lamp Light Sensor - Select this item to switch the light sensor o󰀨. The option "On” is intended for a standard
operation. The option "O󰀨” is for “emergency operation” only! If the lamp light sensor is switched o󰀨, the xture

will still try to ignite the lamp (even when the lamp is damaged or absent), on this account some electronics
parts of the xture can be damaged!

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 conguration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely a󰀨ecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specic moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

10. 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 signicantly 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 moistened with any good glass cleaning uid is recommended, under no circumstances
should alcohol or solvents be used!

DANGER !

Always disconnect the xture from mains before starting any maintenance work.

If the xture is connected to mains, high voltage is present at a heat sink and some

parts of the lamp driver in the xture head !

The front objective lens 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 xture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Dichroic colour lters and gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.

Important! Check the air lters periodically and clean before they become

clogged!

Clean the air lters placed in the xture head and base. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can
wash them and put back dry.
After replacing the air lters, reset the elapsed time counter in the menu "Information" (Information--->Air Fil­ters---> Elapsed Time).

Replacing the fuse.

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 fuseholder in the housing and x it.

Lamp driver and its heat sink is

under high voltage!
