3.2 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 materials 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.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp 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 on a truss without altering its operation characte­ristics .
For securing a xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. Use only safety wire with screw-on carabine. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point and around
the truss as shown on the picture.

another!
3.3 Positioning the Robin MiniMe
The Robin MiniMe is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:
1. Front Table - the xture is placed near the oor in front of the screen.
2. Front Ceiling - the xture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) in front of the screen. Set Ceiling Projection in the menu Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Ceil P"--->"On")
3. Rear Table - the xture is placed near the oor behind the screen. Set Rear Projection in the menu Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Rear P"--->"On") Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
4. Rear Ceiling - the xture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) behind the screen. Set Rear Projection in the menu Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Ceil P"--->"On") and Ceiling Projection ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Rear P"--->"On") Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
When determining the position of the xture and projection screen, you will need to account for the projected image size, which is directly proportional to the projection distance.
Page 9

3.6 DMX-512 connection
The xture is equipped with 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-out­puts, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always connect one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected. Up to 32 xtures can be interconnected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 5-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

3.7 Ethernet connection
The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft­ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol. 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 MiniMe 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.
RJ-45 socket (front view): RJ-45 plug (front view):
1- TD+ 5- Not connected
2- TD- 6- RX-
3- RX+ 7- Not connected 4- Not connected 8- Not connected
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
Connect the Ethernet inputs of all xtures with the Ethernet network. The option “ArtNet" has to be selected from the menu “Mode” at the xture (DMXA 001-->Mode-->ArtNet). Set IP address, NetMask and the Universe.
(DMX address=144) (DMX address=25) (DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.006 IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1
An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx or 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from xture IP addresses) NET mask: 255.0.0.0

5.7 User Media (User Media)
Custom media les can be saved in the xture memory or can be called from the external USB drive.
No USB - This item will appear if no USB ash drive is connected.
Init USB - This item will appear if an USB ash drive without desired folder structure is connected. Press [EN-
TER] to start initialization. Initilization process creates folder called ‘minime’ in the root folder of the USB ash drive. Inside this folder are three subfolders: extmedia, intmedia, update. Top level folder
minime extmedia
intmedia programs update
Recommended and supported lesystem on the USB ash drive is FAT16
exmedia - the folder serves for media les which will be played directly from this folder. intmedia - the folder serves for media les which will be loaded into xture memory. programs - the folder serves for recorded programs (St Alone--> Rc DMX). update - the folder for update le.
These folders structure may be also created by means of your computer, but exactly the same names, order and small letters have to be kept.
The folder exmedia (intmedia) serves for a collection of custom media les. In the folder, the Robin MiniMe sorts les in alphabetical or numerical order and assigns them to DMX values. Max. number of media les in the folder is 250.
We recommend to follow the 3-digit conventions for media les, where a 3-digit number is followed by
an underscore and a name e.g.: 001_mountains.jpg, 002_landscape.jpg.......
The numerical order is suitable in the case that you need to assign certain media les to specied DMX
values.
Example: The table below show differences in le DMX assignment between the alphabetical and numerical
sorting.
The table also includes le names without a 3-digit convention to illustrate their behaviour in the numerical
sorting.

6. Keystones
If an image is output from the Robin MiniMe at an angle, the image may be skewed.
Page 24
24
Two keystone channels (KeyStoning Vertical, KeyStoning Horizontal) adjust the image shape, aspect ratio is kept. Default DMX value for both channels is 128, it means that no keystone correction has been used.
The channel " KeyStoning Vertical" turns image along X-axis. The channel " KeyStoning Horizontal" turns image along Y-axis. The keystone values can also be used to create interesting skewing effects. Note: The horizontal keystone is not running while the Robin MiniMe displayes external HDMI source.
The option "Save AutoKeystoning" from DMX chart (channel Special functions, range 230-234) allows to save adjusted values of the keystone channels and correct them automatically when head position is changed: First use the Keystoning Vertical channel and the Kyestoning Horizontal channel to adjust image shape, after that go and stay at this DMX range for 3 seconds to write keystoning values into memory. To activate Auto­Keystoning, set channels Horizontal and Vertical Keystoning to 0. Now, if you move with the xture head on another place in the same plane, the image shape will be automatically corrected. If you move the head in a tilt into oposite position, the image shape will be automatically corrected again and the image will not be turned:
7. Using external HDMI input
If you want to use the external HDMI input of the xture, you have to activate the external HDMI input via set­ting DMX value into range of 220-229 on the channel 6 (Special functions). If you want to return back to the internal HDMI , set DMX value into range of 210-219 on this channel. Stay in desired DMX range for at least
3 seconds.
The horizontal keystone is not running while the Robin MiniMe displayes external HDMI source.

10. Maintenance and cleaning
DANGER !
Disconnect from the mains before starting any
maintenance work
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning uid is recommended for objective lens, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!
Never use alcohol or solvents for cleaning lenses in the moving head!
Use wet cloth only.
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.
The front lens may require monthly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the light­output very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned according to the situation (at least annually). The interior of the base should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
Important! Check the air lter periodically and clean before it become
clogged!
Clean the air lter placed in the rear side of the xture head . 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" (Info--->Air Fil--->Ela T).
10.1 Replacing a fuse
This replacement has to be realized by a qualied person or ROBE service worker only.
