3. Installation
3.1 Rigging the fixture
The Robin CycBar 12 can be ri ed in any orientation on a truss without alterin its operation characteristics.
For overhead use, always install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the wei ht of the fixture. You must
only use a safety wire equipped snap hook with screw lock ate. Use the safety wire anchor point for safety cable
attachment for this fixture.
Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching
the fixture is secure
Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashin down! If you have doubts concernin the safety of a possible
installation, do not install the device and consult installation with an expert.
Truss installation
1. Bolt clamps (1) to the ome a holders (2) with M12 bolt and lock nut throu h the hole in the ome a holder.
2. Fasten the ome a holders to the brackets of the CycBar 12 by insertin both ¼ turn quick locks (3) into
the holes of the brackets and ti hten fully clockwise.
3. Clamp the fixture on a truss (5) and ti hten both ri in clamps.
4. Pull a safety wire (4) around the truss (5) and lock the snap hook throu h attachment point (6) as shown on the
picture below.

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.
If you install a cord cap on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a roundin -type (earthed)

This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
Desi n of the Robin CycBar 12 allows to connect several fixtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy
chain usin power input and throu hput connectors. Needed daisy chain cords are stated in the chapter
“Technical specifications “
The max. number of connected fixtures depends on the AC mains power volta e and fixture version:
EU version (CE) US version (ETL)
15 fixtures at power supply= 230V 9 fixtures at power supply= 230V
13 fixtures at power supply= 208V 7 fixtures at power supply= 208V
7 fixtures at power supply= 120V 4 fixtures at power supply= 120V
Actual numbers of fixtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the len th of
supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projectin of the fixtures installation.
Do not overload the supply line and the connectin leads.
Wirin and connection work must be carried out by qualified staff!

3.3 MX 512 connection
The fixture is equipped with 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input/output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable
desi ned for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR- connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture
with another.
Wirin of the XLR connectors:
DMX input DMX output
XLR socket: XLR plu
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 installin a termination plu in the output of the last fixture. The termination plu is
a 5-pin XLR male plu with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered between Si nal (–) and Si nal (+).
