Sw Upd -
The following are required in order to update software:
- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP/7/8 or Linux
- Software Uploader
- Robe Universal Interface or Flash cable RS232/DMX (S.N.13050624)
Note: Software update should execute a qualied person. If you lack qualication, do not attempt the update
yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
DMX 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:
I. Installation of the Robin miniPointe Software Uploader.
1. The Robin miniPointe 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 Software Uploader.
II.Fixture software updating.
1. Connect DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface with the xture. Connect USB input of
the Robe Universal Interface with your PC (or, if you use the Flash cable, use it to connect serial
port of your PC with the DMX input of the xture)
The menu item allows you to update software in the xture via the Robe Universal Interface.
24
Disconnect the xture from the other xtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and
the xture on. Make sure the xture´s lamp is switched o.
2. Switch the xture to the updating mode (menu "Sw Upd").
Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch o and on the xture
to escape from this menu.
We recommend to cancel all running programs before starting the Software Uploader.
3. Run the Software Uploader program.
Select Robe universal Interface (or suitable com, if you use the Flash cable) on the left side of
the software uploader screen and then click on the Connect button.
If the connection is OK, click on the “Start Uploading" button to start uploading. It may 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 the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the xture keeps the updating mode
and you have to repeat the software update again.
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 conguration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely aecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specic 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 signicantly 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 the mains before starting any maintenance work
If the xture is connected to mains, high voltage is present at the heat sink of the lamp
driver and at some parts of this lamp driver in the xture head !
Air lter (fastened by means of the
velcro fastener )
Air lter (fastened by means of the
velcro fastener )
Lamp driver and its heat sink is
under high voltage!
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing
the light output 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 wheel 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.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
Important! Check the air lters in the xture head periodically and clean before
they become clogged!
Clean the air lters placed in 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).
