4.5 Rigging the xture

The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1

hour without any harming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if
the main attachment fails.

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 an

expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.

The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)

calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation

material and the xture. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use

a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.

The xture has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The
xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of
a possible installation, do not install the moving head!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the xture’s

weight.

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.

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 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. Pull the safety wire through the carrying handles and around the
truss as shown on the pictures below.

Note: If the safety wire is too long, whip it several times around the trusss in order to attach the xture tight.
In case of an accident, the way of the falling xture will be short.

4.6 DMX-512 connection

The xture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired

in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 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.

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 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

4.7 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 MMX Blade 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

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:

Direct Ethernet operation

Connect the Ethernet inputs of all xtures with the Ethernet network.
Option “ Artnet (gMaI or gMA2)" has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture.

Options “Art2DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu on 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 the DMX output of
this xture with the 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=1 DMX address=46 DMX address=150
IP addres=002.168.002.002

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 char-

ged.

If you switch the xture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the xture off 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.

The menu item allows you to update software in the xture via either serial or USB port

of PC.
The following are required in order to update software:

- PC running Windows 95/98/2000/XP or Linux

- DMX Software Uploader

- Flash cable RS232/DMX No.13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)

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

28

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:

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 from the archive. If the Robe xture is produced in both magnetic

and electronic ballast version, name of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.

II.Fixture software updating.

1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:

- with the DMX input of the xture if you using the ash cable RS232/DMX

- with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable.

Disconnect the xture from the other xtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and
the xture on. Make sure the lamp is switched off (only if the xture involves a lamp).

2. Switch the xture to the updating mode by touching the "Updating Software " item
Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off 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 desired COM and then click on the Connect button.

(Select COM if the serial port is used or DreamBox1 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.

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

Lamp On/Off Settings - Use the menu to set rules for automatic switching on/off the lamp.
Lamp On Power On - If the item is on, the lamp will be automatically turn on after switching the

xture on.

Lamp Off via DMX - The item enables to switch the lamp off via DMX command from DMX
controller.
Lamp On if DMX Present - The item allows you to strike the lamp automatically after 26 seconds

if DMX signal is present on the xture´s DMX input.

Lamp Off if not DMX - The item allows you to switch off the lamp automatically after 2 minutes

if DMX signal is missing on the xture´s DMX input.

8. 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 affecting

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.

9. Wireless DMX operation

The wireless version of the Robin MMX Blade 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.

30

DMX range of 10-19 switching xture to the wired/wireless operation is active only during
the 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.).

10. Error and information messages

12. 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 !

Disconnect from the mains before starting any

maintenance work

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, CMY lamellas, gobo and effect 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 two air lters placed in the xture´s covers and one in the xture 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 fuse holder in the housing and x it.
