3. Installation
The Ambiane XP56 Pendant Remote must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
Always switch off power supply of the control unit before connecting or disconnecting the control unit or the
light unit.
The lower ceiling (or another structure) intended for installation of the Ambiane XP56 Pendant(s) Remote must
safely hold at least 5 times weight of the Ambiane XP56 Pendant(s) Remote placed on it.
1. Fasten the control unit (1) on the ceiling by means of two holes in the housing of the control unit.

2. Fasten the ceiling plate M6i (3) to the lower ceiling.
3. Screw the spherical cap (4) with the hanging wire (6) to the ceiling plate M6i (3).
4. Drill the hole (diameter of 8mm) in the lower ceiling for the LED unit supply cable (7). If you wish to have the LED
unit supply cable (7) parallel with the hanging wire (6), the distance between the hanging wire and the LED unit
supply cable should be 60mm.
5. Secure the LED unit supply cable (7) above ceiling against loosing from the control unit (1).

6. Install the terminal block (9) on the supply cable connect it to the PCB RB 3729 of the control unit (1).
7. Install the terminal block (10) on the DMX cable and connect it to the PCB RB 3729 of the control unit (1).
8. Install the terminal block (11) on the LED unit cable (7) and connect it to the to the PCB RB 3729 of the control
unit (1).
9. Install another terminal blocks on cables according to requirements of current installation.
Example of connection:
Note: The trimmer (13) allows you to set a light intensity (for secondary power only). This trimmer is accessible by
aperture (18) in the cover of the control unit (1).

The primary power input serves for a standard power (e.g. Ambiane Power XP).
The secondary power input serves for a backup power (in case that primary power failed).
If both power inputs are under voltage, the primary power has a priority and the secondary power is disabled. In
case of primary power loss, the secondary power is enabled.
If the fixture is supplied via the secondary power, the light output of the fixture is a white colour (3200K) and its
light intensity can be set by the trimmer (13) accessible by aperture (18) in the cover of the control unit (1).
10. Set the DIP switch (12) according to your operation mode. This DIP switch is accessible by aperture (18) in the
cover of the control unit (1).
The fixture can be controlled by one of the following methods: DMX 512
DALI
0-10V (PW or TD version only)
The fixture is equipped with two DMX and DALI connection blocks (on the PCB RB 3729) for easy connection to a
DMX or DALI chain (In/Out method).

11. Set desired position of the LED unit by means of the three hanging wires (17). If you need to pull the hanging
wire (17) out of the supply unit, you have to press and hold the part (21) of the wire lock.
12. Fasten the LED unit supply cable (7) to the to the holder (18) using a cable binder (19).

3.1. DMX and DALI address setting and control
The DIP switch on the control PCB (RB3729) allows you to set DMX address and run a test light.
DIP 10 - if it is switched to ON=test light (the fixture lights at 3200K (for RGBW and TW version))
DIP 11 - has to be switched to OFF position to receive DMX 512 and DALI, position ON=0-10V control
Note: If DIP 11=OFF (fixture is controlled by DMX and DALI), the last coming command switches the fixture to the
corresponding operation mode (DMX operation by a DMX command, DALI operation by a DALI command). E.g. the
fixture stays in a DALI operation and last coming command is a DMX command which switches the fixture to DMX
operation. Next command is a DALI command and switches the fixture to the DALI operation etc.
If you need the permanent DALI operation, you have to send a DALI command 8 to the fixture.
DMX control
The DMX start address, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. The address may
be any channel from 1 to 512. DMX address can be set either by DIP switch or by RDM. DMX address set by RDM
overwrites address set by DIP switch and vice versa. The green LED on PCB signals way of DMX address setting:
LED lights-DMX address is set by means of the DIP switch.
LED does not light-DMX address is set by means of RDM.
The DIP 11 has to be set to OFF position.
Example of DMX addresses:

DALI control
Addressing of the fixture has to be made by means of an external DALI controller.
If you need to start the permanent DALI control of the fixture (fixture will not respond to DMX commands), the
external DALI controller has to send activating command (8=ON).
If you need to stop the permanent DALI control of the fixture, the external DALI controller has to send deactivating
command (0=OFF).
3.2 0-10V control
DIP 11 has to be set in ON position. 0-10V operation has priority to DALI and DMX commands. The option is
applicable for the PW and TD version of the Ambiane XP56 Recessed only.
4. RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communication
protocol for use in DM X512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
RDM allows you to set a DMX address, select DMX mode, readout software version of the fixture etc. It is also used
for fixture software update by means of the Robe Uploader.
RDM model ID for the Ambiane XP56 Pendant Remote is 0x0109.
