3.1 Mounting the fixture
Ensure that the structure (truss, wall) to which you are attaching
the fixture is secure.
The ArcPad Xtreme can be arranged in any position orientation. The ArcPad Extreme a ows to adjust its LED
modu es to the desired position either both modu es together (by means of the A en key 14 ) or each modu e
separate y (by means of the se f- ocking screws).
Danger of injury! Two workers ha e to handle with the fixture including adjusting the LED modules to
the desired position. The LED modules are ery hea y.
Five s ots in the mounting bracket serve for mounting the fixture on non-f ammab e f at surface.
Caution: Overhead insta ation requires experience. Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you
have doubts concerning the safety of a possib e insta ation, do not insta the device and consu t insta ation 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 regulation
The ArcPad Xtreme is equiped with a 5-cored power/data cab e. The 3 cores serve for the power supp y and next
2 shie ded cores are intended for DMX connection.

3.3 Installation of the barn doors, top/half top hats
You can insta barn-doors or top hats to better define i uminated surface.
Before insta ing the equipment disconnect the fixture from the mains.
1. Fit the barn-doors modu e (1) or top/ha f top hat (2) on the LED modu e (4) and fasten it by means of the
12 screws (3) as shown on the picture be ow.
2. Repeat the same steps for the second LED modu e of the fixture.
ever close the barn-doors during fixture operation!
3.4 Setting and control
For setting DMX address, se ecting DMX mode and for another settings you need either Robe Universa Interface
or the RDM Communicator. P ease see the Robe Universa Interface or RDM Communicator user manua s to get
more information about this products. The way, how to connect these interfaces to the DMX data ink is figured
be ow.
OTE: never connect the RDM communicator and the The Robe Universa Interface to the fixture at the same
time.
1.Robe Universal Interface

2. RDM Communicator
Note: DMX contro er has to be disconnected from the fixture when the RDM communicator is operated.
After addressing and setting fixtures´behaviour you can use the Cyber Arch (after programming it) for stand-a one
operation of fixtures.
3.5 DMX 512 connection
To bui d a DMX chain
1. Connect the DMX output of the contro er direct y 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. A ways connect the DMX output with the input of the next fixture unti a fixtures are connected.
Do not over oad the ink. Max. 32 fixtures may be connected on a DMX ink.
Caution: Terminate the output of the ast fixture with a 120 Ohm resistor wired betwen data (+) and data (-) in
order to ensure the proper transmission on the data ink.
3.6 Master/slave connection
To bui d a master/s ave-chain:
Connect the DMX output of the master fixture in the data chain with the DMX input of the first s ave. A ways
connect output with the input of the next s ave unti a s aves are connected (up to 32 fixtures).
Caution: It is necessary to terminate the input of the master fixture and the output of the ast s ave with a 120 Ohm
resistor in order to ensure the proper transmission on the data ink.
3.7 Stand alone operation
The fixtures on a data ink are not connected to the contro er but can execute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fixture. To set the program to be p ayed, see the "Stand-a one setting" (menu "St.AL.").
"Stand-a one operation" can be app ied to the sing e fixture or to mu tip e fixtures operating synchronous y.

ArcPad Xtreme
9
Synchronous operation of mu tip e fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data ink and one of them is
set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the s aves (s ave mode).
To set the fixture as the master or s ave, see the " Fixture Address " (menu "A001").
On y one fixture can be set as the master.
The master fixture starts simu taneous program start in the other s ave fixtures. A fixtures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when p aying back their programs. The number of running program is the same in a
s aves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL.“). Every fixture runs its program repeated y, starting the
program step No.1 when requested by the master.
Examp e:
If the s ave fixture has a shorter program ength, it wi continuous y repeat its program unti the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (s ave 1- prog.step 3 wi not be finished).
If the s ave fixture has a onger program ength, it wi restart at prog. step 1 before it comp etes a its prog.steps
(s ave 2 - prog.step 5 wi not be p ayed)- see the picture be ow.
ote: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX contro er before master/s ave operating, otherwise data co isions
can occur and the fixtures wi not work proper y!
