2. INTRODUCTION
2.1. About us
The name ROXX®came easily.
Combined with the concentrated knowledge and many years of experience, our three founders, who have been
leaving their mark in the event and lighting industry for many years already, came together in 2020 to start this
outstanding venture.
Product development, sales and marketing as well as the exceptional know-how and the profound rooting in the
eld of the professional lighting technology belong to our core competences and therefore guarantee extremely in-
novative and reliable products, excellent support and professional service in every aspect.
Designed & developed in Germany
ROXX®products are developed and designed in Germany. Always in tight consultation with our customers and
experts who will eventually be working with these tools. This ensures innovative, easy-to-use and performance-
oriented solutions, which provide added value for our customers.
Made to last
Recommended for permanent outdoor use, most ROXX®products feature additional corrosion protection and en-
hanced IP66 equipment protection, thereby providing that crucial extra for a wider range of applications. In addition
to architectural or theme park applications, even xed installations in coastal or offshore areas with high salt expo-
sure can be reliably implemented over long periods of time.
2.2. CLUSTER B4 W
All CLUSTER products can be easily connected both horizontal and vertically, by using the integrated C-Lok system.
The series is made to enable toolless multiple array con gurations, scalable from a single vertical line, to massive
matrix like arrays. Due IP65 rating all products are outdoor ready and protected from ingress of dust and rain. There
are several mounting options – Camlock mounts on top and back enable the use of Omega-Brackets, Yokes can be
attached to mounting points on all sides, or the internal C-Lok system can be used for seemless interconnection.
Pre-Link Magnets on top and side help to allign the  xtures, giving an incredible user-friendly operation and save
interlocking. A specially designed rigging bracket is used for seemless connection of multiple Blinders, to avoid gaps
due to bracing of the truss structure by variable, sliding mounting positions. Floor extensions can be used to create
vertical structures in single or double rows.
In the warmwhite versions, an emulated ´shift to warm´ warms the color temperature of the light as it dims. To de-
liver a perfect classic tungsten look, Amber and Red LED´s are mixed with the highpower warmwhite LED´s when
decaying.

4. INSTALLATION & SETUP
4.1 Physical Installation and Rigging
ROXX CLUSTER B4 W may be installed in any orientation. For this purpose the product provides several options:
Standing:
The xtures Yoke includes two M8 inner threads to install the optional ROXX YOKE FLOOR EXTENSION.
Hanging:
The xture can be installed in different ways:
1. Directly by integrated 1/4 turn Camlocks on top- or rear side

Manual
2. By included yoke with several mounting points:
Multiple mounting points:
A: 3x Camlock with ¼ turn adapters
B: 3x M12 / ½“
C: 1x TV Spigot
Additional Yoke anchor points:
In the delivery state, the yoke is preinstalled in such a way that the individual eyes can be rotated +/-20° in the pan.
Each CLUSTER device also provides side anchor points for the yoke so that the device can then be rotated either
clockwise or counterclockwise so that the individual eyes can then be adjusted +/-20° in tilt movement.
In addition, the B4 W and B4 FC models offer a third, lower anchor point that can be used to mount the optional
YOKE 4.3 to optimize the center of gravity on, for example, a 6-lite or 8-lite.
Attention!
This should only be used when clustering several units together, as otherwise the center of
gravity of the individual unit is no longer in the middle and the unit can unintentionally tip over
when the yoke is released.

3. Using optional ROXX RIGGING BRACKET
For seemless connection of multiple Blinders, to avoid gaps due to bracing of the truss structure by variable, sliding
mounting positions.
Product Clustering
All CLUSTER products can be easily connected both horizontal and vertically, by using the integrated
C-Lok system. The series is made to enable toolless multiple array congurations, scalable from a
single vertical line, to massive matrix like arrays.
To connect the devices with each other, proceed as follows in sequence:
1. Bring the devices together with the respective top and
bottom side.
A so-called centering puk is pre-installed on the top of
every cluster device.
This should always be installed when connecting the de-
vices to each other.
2. Pre-Link Magnets on top and side help to allign the x-
tures due cluster process and giving support operation
for convenient and save interlocking.
Important Note:
Even though the pre-link magnet system
is strong enough to hold the devices to-
gether, at least one hand must always
remain on the device for support during the connection.

3. Make sure that the C-Lok hooks are turned counterc-
lockwise (CCW) to the end-position rst before you nally
lock the C-Loks.
4. For locking all C-Lok´s, please turn them clockwise into
end-position.
Note:
As soon as both dot indicators are in line, the C-Lok is
securely locked
Maximum Tensile and Torsion Load
Before setting up Cluster congurations, be aware of the maximum tensile and torsion load, listed
here below. Also make sure the mounting clamps are capable of supporting the total weight of your
conguration.
The different rigging options of all Cluster products result in different maximum tensile and torsion loads that must
not be exceeded for a safe overhead installation.
The maximum loads listed here below take into account the 10-fold safety!

4.2.1. AC Power
The CLUSTER B4 W operates on any 100–260 V, 50/60 Hz AC mains power supply with a maximum power con-
sumption of 220W.
Connect the xture to AC power using the supplied cable or a similar one with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W
or a compatible type, to ensure the correct ingress protection (IP).
For temporary installations, the mains cable must be tted with a grounded connector intended for exterior use. The
xture must be grounded/earthed and be able to be isolated from AC power. The AC power supply must incorporate
a fuse or circuit breaker for fault protection.
Warning!
Read “Safety Informations” starting on page 3 before connecting the xtures to AC mains power!
Do not connect the xture to an electrical dimmer system, as doing so may cause damage that is not
covered by the product warranty!
4.2.2. DMX Connection
The CLUSTER B4 W is fully controllable by DMX (USITT DMX512-A standard, based on RS-485) and RDM.
4.2.2.1. Cable Connection
If using a cabled DMX system, connect the DMX IN cable to the input connector (male 5-pin XLR connector) and
DMX OUT cable to the output (female 5-pin XLR connectors).
For outdoor installations, use only IP65-rated XLR connectors.
Use shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 devices. The cables are daisy chained between the xtures,
and up to 32 xtures can be connected to the same DMX link. Up to 300 meters (1000ft.) of cable is achievable with
high quality DMX cables. All DMX links must be terminated in the last xture by connecting a DMX termination plug
to the last xture’s 5 pin DMX out connector.
Standard microphone cable is not suitable for transmitting DMX.
