FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE POWERING OR INSTALLING YOUR ROBIN Cyclone ! Save it for future reference. This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.
Do not shake the fixture. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture. This fixture was designed for indoor use only, do not expose this unit to rain or use near water. When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the fixture is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. Secure the blowed objects so that they cannot slide or fall, even if air pressure during full speed operation of the Robin Cyclone is present.
2. Fixture exterior view 1 - Moving head 2 - Arm 3 - QVGA touch screen 4 - Control buttons 5 - Base 6 - Tilt lock 7 - Fan The head should be locked for transportation- the tilt lock latch (6) has to be in the locked positions. To unlock the head, move this latch to unlock position before operating the fixture. The ENTER/DISPLAY ON button also serves for switching the display on when the fixture is disconnected from the mains.
3. Installation Fixtures must be installed by a Qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes and regulation. 3.1 Connection to the mains For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed! The Robin Cyclone is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts.
3.2 Rigging the fixture The installation of the fixture 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.
For securing a fixture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. 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 fixture tight. In case of an accident, the way of the falling fixture will be short.
3.3 Operating the Robin Cyclone with smoke machines When using the Robin Cyclone in combination with a smoke machine, fog machine or hazer, place the fixture behind the machine or aside the direct output from the machine , as shown on the pictures below. Do not place the fixture in front of the machine and direct the output from the machine into the fixture, as this will cause undesirable moisture and residue build-up.
3.4 DMX-512 connection The fixture 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 fixture or one fixture with another.
3.5 Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control software 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.
Ethernet / DMX operation Option “Art2DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu on the first fixture (connected to the Ethernet) in the fixture chain,next fixtures have standard DMX setting. Connect the Ethernet-input of the first fixture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this fixture with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected to the DMX chain. Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator.

Manual Effect control - Use the menu to control all fixture channels by means of the control panel. 6.
Meaning of the icons used in the "Edit Program" menu: - moves down on the next page - saves adjusted values and leaves menu - moves up on the previous page - saves values to the current step and copy them to the following prog. step - leaves menu without saving values There is a chart describing behaviour of items "Pan/Tilt Macro" and "P./T. Macro Speed".
7. After adjusting 5600K colour temperature, touch the [confirm] to save all adjusted values and reset the fixture.
After software update please do a full power off/on cycle with a complete display blackout in order to reset battery error checking procedure. 7. RDM This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
After switching the fixture on, the fixture checks both modes of receiving DMX in the following order: 1. For the first five seconds, the fixture receives DMX signal from the wired input. If the Power/Special functions channel is set at some DMX input option, the fixture will receive DMX value according to this option. If DMX input option is set to the wired input , this option is saved and checking procedure is finished.
9. Error and information messages Occurred errors during fixture operation are signalled by the yellow warning icon at the bottom line of the screen: Touch the warning icon or press the [ESCAPE] button to display error messages. List of error and information messages: Temper.Sensor Error The message informs you that the communication betwen the head temperature sensor and the main processor failed.

11. Maintenance and cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
