4.3 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 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 a skilled
person once a year.
Allow the xture to cool for ten minutes before handling.
The xture should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional
companies.
CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the xture!
The xture has to be installed out of the reach of public.
The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
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 characte ristics .

4.4 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. Up to 32 xtures can be 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 (5-pin) XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.

4.5 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 Spiider 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.

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=131) (DMX address=30) (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 (Di󰀨erent from xture IP addresses)
NET mask: 255.0.0.0

Ethernet / DMX operation
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=49 DMX address=131 IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=0
DMX address=1 DMX address=49 DMX address=131 IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1

4.6 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin Spiider 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.
