4.5 Rigging the xture
The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1
hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if
the main attachment fails.
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 expert
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 an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled
person once a year.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation
material and the xture. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use
a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.
The xture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The
xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of
a possible installation, do not install the moving head!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the xture’s
weight.
Danger of re !
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 m.
CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characteristics .
For securing a xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
Use only safety wire with screw-on carabine. Pull the safety wire through the carrying handles and around the
truss as shown on the pictures below.
Note: If the safety wire is too long, whip it several times around the trusss in order to attach the xture tight.
In case of an accident, the way of the falling xture will be short.

4.6 DMX-512 connection
The xture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired
in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in
order to connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with
the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-out-
puts, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ωresistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

4.7 Ethernet connection
The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft-
ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow
transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.
IP address is the Internet protocol address.The IP uniquely identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The Robin MMX Blade is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5
(with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the xture to the network.

3- RX+ 7- Not connected
4- Not connected 8- Not connected
Patch cables that connect xtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers
are connected together:
1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8
If only the xture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.
A cross-cable has to be used:
1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4
If the xture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon will appear at the
bottom right corner of the screen:

Note: The green icon at the top right corner of the screen indicates the level of the display battery charging. If
the whole icon is green, the battery is fully charged while the red icon indicates exhausted battery. The battery
charges during xture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours.
We recommend that the xture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully char-
ged.
If you switch the xture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the xture off and on again. If the
screen lights, the battery is exhausted. In case the screen still does not light, the battery is faulty.
This is also indicated by an error message "Faulty battery" and if such an error message appears the battery
should be replaced immediately. The lifetime of the battery is highly dependent on ambient temperature (and
consequently on base temperature). If the maximum ambient temperatures (as recorded and displayed in menu:
Information -> Fixture Temperatures -> Ambient Temperature -> Maximum NonRes.) are kept within the speci-
ed limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specied
maximum temperature, the lifetime of the batteries could be considerably shortened even up to just one year
or less and also result in physical damage (battery leakage) or unreliable xture functions.
Damage caused by batteries failed due to exceeded maximum ambient temperature cannot be claimed under
warranty terms.

Art2DMX - Fixture receives Artnet protocol from the Ethernet input and sends DMX
data to its DMX output (xture works as an "Artnet/DMX converter", next xture can
be connected to its DMX output and you can build a standard DMX chain by
connecting another xtures. Only one xture has to be connected to the Ethernet.
