4.4 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. 0.5 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 the safety wire with screw-on carabine. Pull the safety wire through the safety attachment point on the bottom of the base and around the truss as shown on the pictures below.

Truss installation
1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (3) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.
2.Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (4) into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.
3. Pull the safety wire (2) through the attachment point and around the truss (6).
Alternativelly, xtures handels can be used for safety attachment
When installing xtures side-by-side,
avoid illuminating one xture with another!
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the rst time,the installation has to be approved by an
expert!

4.5 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.

4.6 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 Viva 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. Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.
(DMX address=129) (DMX address=31) (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
An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from xture IP addresses) NET mask: 255.0.0.0
