FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INITIAL START - UP 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. The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.
If the fixture 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. Before switching the fixture OFF, turn the lamp OFF and allow the fixture to cool for a while. Do not shake the fixture. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture.
2. Fixture exterior view 1 - Front lens 2 - Tilt lock 3 - Pan lock 4 - Base 5 - Moving head 6 - Arm 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.
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 Pointe is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts. This fixture must be earthed. To use the fixture, a plug must be fixed.
3.2 Changing the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamp with the fixture unplug from mains ! To insert the new lamp. 1. Disconnect the fixture from mains and allow it to cool at least 20 minutes. 2. .Loosen the two quarter-turn fasteners (1) on a lamp cover and remove the lamp cover (2) to get into lamp compartment. 3. Remove both Fastons (3) from flat blades of the lamp. 4.
3.3 Lamp adjustment The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps,the fine adjustment may improve light performance. For lamp adjustment serve four slots in the lamp assembly. Slots A - for adjustment of the lamp horizontally Slots B - for adjustment of the lamp vertically To adjust the lamp in the fixture. 1.
Note! The adjusted hot-spot may move during the first 100 hours of the lamp operation (lamp stabilizes its burning) and the lamp adjusting has to be repeated. (In some cases, the lamp adjusting has to be made every 100 hours of lamp operation.
3.4 Replacing rotating gobos DANGER! Replace gobos with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before! 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. Carefully remove the gobo and the spring gobo-lock from the gobo holder by pushing to the gobe from the side without toothed wheelt.
3.5 Rigging the fixture A structure intended for installation of the fixture (s) must safely hold weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The structure has to be certificated to the purpose. The fixture (fixtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes and regulation.
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 attachment point and around the truss (6).
3.6 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.
3.7 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 “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at first fixture. Option “Ethernet To DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu at 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.
3.8 Wireless DMX operation The wireless version of the Robin Pointe is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band. The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Personality--> DMX Input -->Wireless.). First two options from the "DMX Input" menu are stated in DMX chart as well (channel Power/Special functions , range of 10-19 DMX).
4. Remotely controllable functions Lamp The Robin Pointe is to be operated with a Osram Sirius HRI 280W RO lamp. The Osram Sirius HRI 280W RO is a lamp system consisting of a short arc burner within a reflector. The fixture offers two modes for lamp running Standard Mode (full power of 280W, 2000hrs lamp life) and Eco Mode (lamp power of 230W, 3000hrs lamp life) Colour wheel This wheel contains 13 dichroic filters + open.The colour wheel can be positioned between two adjacent colours in any position.

6. Control menu The Robin Pointe is equipped with the QVGA Robe touch screen with battery backup which allows to set the fixture´s behaviour according to your needs, obtain information on its operation, test its various parts and lastly program it, if it has to be used in a stand-alone mode. The fixture´s menu can be controlled either by the control buttons or directly by touching the icon. Control buttons on the front panel: [ESCAPE] button used to leave the menu without saving changes.
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 fixture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours. We recommend that the fixture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully charged.

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.
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet. Dichroic colour filters and gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly. Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.
