2. Operating determination
This device is a scan for creating decorative e󰀨ects and was designed for indoor use only.
This device is for professional use only. It is not for household use.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on
immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched o󰀨 until
it has reached room temperature.
Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the xture.
Always rig the xture with an appropriate safety wire.
Only operate the xture after having checked that the housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.
The maximum ambient temperature 45°C must never be exceeded.
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions.
Do not block the front lens and mirror with any object when the xture is under operation.
Su󰀩cient distance between the xture and surrounding walls has to be kept and the air vents at the housing
must not be blocked or covered in any case.
Install the xture in a well ventilated place.
When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the xture is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture
or dust.
Keep any inammable material at a safe distance from the xture.
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way di󰀨erent to the one described in this manual, the product may su󰀨er
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-cir-
cuit, burns, electric shock, burns etc.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage of the internal parts of the xture, never let the sunlight or other
xture lights directly to the front lens and mirror, even when the xture is not working!

4. Installation
Fixtures must be installed by a Qualied electrician in accordance with all
national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
4.1 Connection to the mains
For protection from electric shock, the xture must be earthed!
The Robin SilverScan is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz
AC power source from 100-240 Volts.
Power cord is enclosed to the xture. If you need to install a suitable plug on the power cord, note that the cores
in the power cord are coloured according to the following table. The earth has to be connected!
If you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician.

4.2 Replacing rotating gobos
DANGER!
Install the gobos with the device switched o󰀨 only.
Unplug from mains before!
1. Disconnect the xture from mains and allow it to cool.
2. Remove the plastic cover of the xture by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on the cover.
3. Gently pull up the gobo holder (3) from the rotation gobo wheel .
4. Remove the spring lock (1) with an appro priate tool (e.g. small-bladed screwdriver) and remove it.
Do not touch the surface of the pattern of the glass gobo with bare ngers.
5. Remove the original gobo (2) and insert the new one (glazy side towards the light source).
The Robe gobo has a small position point (8) at its edge which has to aimed at the position point (4) on
the gobo holder (4). Insert the spring lock to secure correct gobo position in the gobo holder.
6. Insert he gobo holder back under the distance slots (6, 7) into rotating gobo wheel in this way, that its
position point (4) has to aimed at a small toothlike projection (5) on the edge of the rotating gobo wheel.
Important! When inserting the gobo holder back to the rotating gobo wheel, one of the adjacent gobo holder
has to be oriented according to the same rule, it means that its position point (4) has to aimed at the toothlike
projection (5) on the edge of the rotating gobo wheel. You have keep both marks (4) and (5) side by side when
rotating the gobo wheel to the position allows inserting the gobo holder back.
5. Replace the plastic cover before applying power.
6. Use the menu Service to ne adjust replaced gobo (Service -> Calibration -> Calibrate e󰀨ects -> R. Gobo
Index 1 ...R. Gobo Index 6).
Note. The magnet (9) of the gobo holder has the same function as the position point (4) on the rest of gobo
holders.

4.3 Replacing the frost
Install the frost module with the device switched o only.
Unplug from mains before!
To replace the frost module.
1. Disconnect the xture from mains and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
2. Remove the bottom plastic cover of the xture by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on the cover.
3. Remove the shield cover (1) by unscrewing the fourth screws (2) with washers to get access to
the frost module (3).
4 . The holder (4) of the frost lm is fastened to the frost holder (5) by means of the four magnets (6). Grip the
holder (4) and carefully tilt it out to break a force of magnets (6) on the frost holder (5).
5 . Insert a new frost module into the frost holder (5). Check, that both slots (7) snapped correctly into
two protrusions (8) on the holder (5).
6. Screw the shield cover (1) back to the xture chassis and p lace the plastic cover back on the xture before
applying power.

4.4 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 ex-
pert 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.
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 an appropriate clamp to rig the xture on the truss.
Make sure that the device is xed properly!
Su󰀩cient distance between the xture and surrounding walls has to be
kept to ensure air circulation round the xture.
For securing the xture to the truss, install a safety wire which can bear at least 10 times the weight of
the xture. Use only the safety wire with snap hooks with screw lock gate. Fasten the safety wire around the
truss and the mounting bracket in a suitable position so that the maximum fall of the xture will be approximately
20 cm.
