1. Safety instructions
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT!
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the rear panel of the fixture.
This fixture should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied, consult your authorized distributor or local power company.
Always disconnect the fixture from AC power before cleaning, removing or installing the fuses, or any part.
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the fixture and the power cord
from time to time.
Do not install the unit near naked flames.
During the operation the housing becomes hot
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
This fixture falls under protection class I. Therefore this fixture has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with
a protective earthing connection.
Do not connect this fixture to a dimmer pack.
LED light emission. Risk of eye injury.
Do not look straight at the fixture´s LEDs during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
Keep compustible materials at least 20 cm away from the fixture.
If the fixture has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on
immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has
reached room temperature.
Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture.
The fixture was designed for indoor use only.

When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the fixture is not exposed to extreme heat or dust.
Avoid using the unit in locations subject to possible impacts.
The fixture body never must be covered with cloth or other materials.
Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture.
Do not block the front objective LEDs with any object when the fixture is under operation.
The fixture becomes very hot during operation. Allow the fixture to cool approximately 30 minutes prior to
manipulate with it.
Operate the fixture only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the fixture. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Do not attempt to dismantle or modify the unit.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the fixture are forbidden due to safety reasons!
Please use the original packaging if the fixture is to be transported.
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like shortcircuit, burns, electric shock etc.

3. Installation
3.1 Rigging the fixture
The Robin CycFX 4 can be rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics.
Installation on a truss allows the mounting adapters Omega T (1) fastened to the fixture base with ¼-turn quick
locks. Also standard Omega holders for Robe fixtures or mounting bar CF4 (optional accessory) can be used
instead mounting adapters. Pull the safety wire through the attachment point (2) and around the truss.
For overhead use, always install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must
only use safety wire with screw-on carbine.
Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching
the fixture is secure
Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a
possible installation, do not install the device and consult installation with an expert.
3.2 Connection to the mains
Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
Install a suitable plug on the power cord, note that the cores in the power cord are colored according to the
following table.

This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
Design of the Robin CycFX 4 allows to connect several fixtures 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 specifications “
The max. number of connected fixtures depends on the AC mains power voltage:
30 fixtures at power supply= 230V
14 fixtures at power supply= 120V
12 fixtures at power supply=100V
Do not overload the supply line and the connecting leads.

3.3 DMX 512 connection
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input/output. Only use a shielded twistedpair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin/5-pin XLR- connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture
or one fixture with another.
Wiring of the XLR connectors:
DMX input DMX output
XLR socket (rear view): XLR plug (rear view):
1
– Shield
2
- Signal (-)
3
- Signal (+)
4
– Not connected
5
– Not connected
To build a DMX chain
1. Connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain.
2. Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture.
3. Always connect the DMX output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Do not overload the link. Max. 32 fixtures may be connected on a DMX link.
Caution: Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output of the last fixture. The termination plug is
a male 3-pin XLR plug with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered between Signal (–) and Signal (+).
3.4 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin CycFX 4 (Robin CycFX 4/W) is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and
antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band.
1. Select wireless DMX input from the menu PErS (PErS-->dM.IM.-->dM.UL.).
2. To link the fixture with DMX transmitter.
The fixture 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 “r.InF“ (SPEC-->rAdI.--> r.InF.)
3. To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter
.
The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “ r.UnL.“ (SPEC-->rAdI.--> r.UnL.).
