3.3 Connection to mains
The unit must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
The Eminere MC is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60Hz AC
power source from 120-277 Volts.
Input - panel connector Output - panel connector
(front view) (front view)
Fixture´s Amphenol connectors are dust and water protected according to IP 67 by mating with related Amphenol
connectors.
They cannot stay disconnected outdoor.
The output panel connector at last fixture in the Eminere MC chain has to always be covered with the water-
tight cap to keep declared IP rating.
The Eminere MC modules should be connected to the E-box which allows power supply of the Eminere MC
modules and their control.
Do not connect (disconnect) Emineres MC to the E-box or Booster box and each other when they are under
voltage!
When you change any setting of the E-box, disconnect the E-box from power and connect it to power again
to activate changes which you have made.
Examples of connection for various versions of the E-box.
Please read the E-box user manual for more information about its setting and connection to Eminere MC modules.
Needed cables are stated in the chapter “Technical information“.

3.5 The Booster box installation
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE EMINERES MC FROM MAINS BEFORE
CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING THE BOOSTER BOX.
The Booster box falls under protection class I. Therefore, every Booster box
has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
1.Unscrew the four screws (1) from the cover (2) on the Booster box to get access to the terminal block (3) and
two mounting holes of diameter of 4.6 mm (4).
2. Screw the Booster box on a non-flammable flat surface and connect cables.
The Cable gland M20x1.5 for Power IN (5) is intended for a cable of a diameter of 7-13mm.
Remove the end cap from the cable gland before passing the cable.

We recommend to apply an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 5331 on the plastic holder of the cable
gland before inserting it into the body of the gland and an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 577 on
the thread of the gland body.

Cable gland M20 MS:
The cable gland M20 MS with a standard seal serves for a cable of diameter of 7-13mm, for smaller diameter of
cable (4-8mm) you have to remove the original seal from the cable gland M20 and use the enclosed reducing seal
instead of it. The reducing seal for diameter of cable 4-8mm (P/N 13051388) is enclosed in the Booster box.
3. Screw the cover (2) back on the Booster box.

3.6 Jumper cable assembling
1. Dismantle the connector and slide its parts onto the cable (6).
Use the seal with inner diameter of 14.5 mm for the Anolis cable (P/N 13053138 or P/N 13053139).
The seal with inner diameter of 14.5 mm serves for cable of diameter 10-14.5mm.
The seal with inner diameter of 10 mm serves for cable of diameter 8-10mm.
Parts of the connector
2. Put the seiling circle (2) on the connector with screws (1).
3. Remove insulation from the cable (6) and from individual wires and fasten three terminals on data wires.

4. After connecting wires to the connector, tighten the three data wires (D+,D-, 0V) by means of the cable binder
(7).
6. Screw the clamp ring (3) to the connector (1), insert the seal (4) to the clamp ring (3) and tighten the sealing nut
(5) enough. During the steps DO NOT TWIST the cable (6).
7. Use the same procedure to assemble the connector on the second end of the cable.
IMPORTANT
Do not bend the cable near to the connector, minimum distance for bending is 50mm.

4. Software update
Software update of Eminere MC has to be done by means of the software ROBE Uploader running on PC.
The ROBE Uploader is a software for automatized software update of ROBE fixtures. The ROBE Uploader switches
Emineres MC to the update mode automatically.
Please see https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/ for more information.
DMX or Ethernet connection via E-box
If the option Standard is selected from the menu E-box mode and LED modules are connected in series,
the E-box will be updated including connected Eminere MC modules. You have to use the file EminereEbox.lib in
the ROBE Uploader for this operating mode.
If the option Pass-Thr is selected from the menu E-box mode and LED modules are connected in series, you have to
do the following steps to update Emineres MC including the E-box:
1. Set the E-box to the Standard mode and switch it off/on. Only E-box will be shown in the ROBE Uploader.
You have to use the file EminereEbox.lib in the ROBE Uploader for software update of the E-box and
connected LED modules.
2.
After updating, set the E-box to the Pass-Thorough mode and switch it off/on
.
For more information about updating please see the E-box Lite/Daisy/Star user manual.
