3. Installation
Fixtures must be installed by a qualied electrician in accordance with all
national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
3.1 Connection to the mains
For protection from electric shock, the xture must be earthed!
The Robin SuperSpikie is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts. If you need to install a power plug on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a ground­ing-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. If you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician. The cores in the power cable are coloured according to the following table.
Core (EU) Core (US) Connection Plug Terminal Marking
Brown Black Live L
Light blue White Neutral N
Yellow/Green Green Earth
This device falls under class one and must be earthed (grounded). To apply power, rst check that the head pan and tilt locks are released.
Design of the Robin SuperSpikie allows to connect several xtures 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 specications “ The max. number of connected xtures depends on the AC mains power voltage and certication: CE cETLus 10 xtures at power supply= 230V 6 xtures at power supply= 230V 8 xtures at power supply= 208V 5 xtures at power supply= 208V 5 xtures at power supply= 120V 3 xtures at power supply= 120V Actual numbers of xtures may di󰀨er from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the xtures installation Do not overload the supply line and
the connecting leads.
Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualied sta󰀨!

3.3 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 regulations.
For overhead installation, the xture must be always secured with a safety wire that
can bear at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
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 a skilled person once a year.
The xture 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 materials 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.
The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Fixture 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.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.4 m.
Min. distance to lighted object: 2 m
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp to rig the xture on the truss.
Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xture is secure.
The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged on a truss without altering its operation characte­ristics.
Due to very fast pan/tilt movement of the xture, the xture has to be always anchored
to the ground (base) otherwise there is a danger of knocking the xture over.
For securing the xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate. Fasten the snap hook in the attachment point and the safety wire around the truss as shown on the picture below.
.

1. Bolt the clamps(3) to the omega holder (5) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the omega holder.
2. Fasten the omega holders to the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (2) into
the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Clamp the xture on a truss (6) and tighten the rigging clamps.
4. Pull the safety wire (4) through the attachment point (1) and through the handle (7) and around the truss (6)
and lock the snap hook with screw lock gate. Use only a safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate.

3.4 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 socket: XLR plug:
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.

3.5 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 SuperSpikie 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:
Ethernet operation
Connect the Ethernet inputs of all xtures with the Ethernet network. Option “Artnet (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN)" has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture. Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.
An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Di󰀨erent from xture IP addresses) NET mask: 255.0.0.0
(DMX address=161) (DMX address=33) (DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.004 IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1

Ethernet / DMX operation
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=193 DMX address=161 DMX address=1 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=0
DMX address=193 DMX address=161 DMX address=1 IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1

3.6 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin SuperSpikie 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.

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.

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. The list of commands for Robin SuperSpikie is the following.

10. Maintenance and cleaning
DANGER !
Disconnect the xture from the mains before starting any
maintenance work
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning uid is recommended, under no circumstances should solvents be used!
Never use solvents for cleaning the the xture
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 solvents be used!
Front lens may require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the light output very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned according to the situation (at least annually). The interior of the head and base should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner.
Important! Check the air lter in xture base periodically and clean before it
becomes clogged!
Periodically clean air lter placed in the xture´s base. The air lter cover is fastened by means of magnets. 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).
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
10.1 Replacing the fuse
Before replacing the fuse in the xture, unplug mains lead!
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.
10.2 Disposing of the product
To preserve the environment please dispose or recycle this product at the end of its life according to the local
regulations and codes.
