CAUTION! Keep this device away from rain and moisture! Unplug mains lead before opening the housing! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INITIAL START - UP! 1. Safety instructions Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to: - be qualified - follow the instructions of this manual CAUTION! Be careful with your operations.
2. Operating determination This device is a moving head for creating decorative effects and was designed for indoor use only. If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature. Never run the device without lamp! Before switching the fixture OFF, turn the lamp OFF and allow the fixture to cool for a while.
3. Fixture exterior view 1 - Front lens 2 - Air filter 3 - Tilt lock 4 - Pan lock 5 - Air filter 6 - Arm 7 - Base 8 - Arm 9 - Moving head The head should be locked for transportation- the tilt lock latch (2) and the pan lock latch (3) have to be in the locked positions. To unlock the head, move these latches to unlock positions before operating the fixture.
4. Installation Fixtures must be installed by a Qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes and regulation. 4.1 Connection to the mains For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed! The Robin MMX Spot is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts.
4.2 Installing the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamp with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before ! To insert the new lamp. 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool at least 15 minutes. 2. Make sure that the fixture´s head is in the position as shown on the picture (notices on the lamp cover are in readable position) .Loosen the two quarter-turn fasteners (1) marked “X,Y“ on the lamp cover to open this cover. 3.
4.4 Replacing rotating gobos Install gobos with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before! To replace rotating gobos. 1. Disconnect the fixture from mains and allow it to cool. 2. Remove the bottom plastic cover of the head by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on the cover. 3. Gently pull up the gobo holder from the rotation gobo wheel. 4. Remove the spring gobo-lock with an appropriate tool (e.g. small-bladed screwdriver) and remove it.
4.5 Replacing graphic wheels Install graphic wheels with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before! The dual graphic wheel consists of two graphic wheels. Both wheels has to be changed at the same time. To replace graphic wheels. 1. Disconnect the fixture from mains and allow it to cool. 2. Remove the bottom plastic cover of the head by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on the cover. 3. Tilt up the dual graphic wheel. 4. Remove the spring graphic wheel - lock with an appropriate tool (e.g.
4.6 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.
Omega holders positions: Truss installation 1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (3) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder. 2.Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (4) into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise. 3. Pull the safety wire (2) through the carrying handles (5) and around the truss (6) as shown on the pictures below.
4.7 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.
4.8 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 Options “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.
5. Remotely controllable functions Lamp The Robin MMX Spot is to be operated with a Philips MSR Platinum 35. Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait about 5 minutes after having switched the lamp off before you can switch it on again.

12. 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 or within 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.
