Building a serial DMX chain
Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Up to 32 fixtures can be connected. Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 resistor between Signal () and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.
Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet (or
MANet, MANet2, sACN) communication protocol. The control software running on
your light console has to support some of the protocols. 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 identifies any
node (fixture) on a network. The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512
channels.
The Robin MegaPointe 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 fixture to the network.
Patch cables that connect fixtures 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 fixture 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 fixture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the
network icon bottom right corner of the screen: will appear at the
Ethernet operation
Connect the Ethernet inputs of all fixtures with the Ethernet network. Option
“Artnet (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN)” has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu
on the fixture. Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the
Universe.
(DMX address=196) IP addres=002.168.002.004 Universe=1
(DMX address=40) IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1
(DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=1
An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from fixture IP addresses) NET mask: 255.0.0.0
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 menu “Ethernet Mode” 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. Connect DMX output of this fixture with DMX 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. Solder
a 120 resistor between Signal () and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect
it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Example:
Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the Robin MegaPointe 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). If DMX input option is
changed by DMX command, the change is permanently written into fixture´s
memory. DMX range of 10-19 switching fixture to the wired/wireless operation
is active only during first 10 seconds after switching the fixture on. 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. If DMX input option is not set, the
fixture continues next 5 seconds in scanning wireless DMX signal-see point 2.
2. For the next 5 seconds the fixture receives wireless DMX signal and again
detects if the Power/Special functions channel is set at some DMX input
option, if not, the fixture will take option which is set in the fixture menu
“DMX Input”.
To link the fixture with DMX transmitter. The fixture can be only linked with the transmitter by running the link procedure at DMX transmitter . After linking , the level of DMX signal ( 0-100 %) is displayed in the menu item “Wireless State” (Information –>Wireless State). To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter. The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item ” Unlink Wireless Adapter” (Information–> Wireless State –> Unlink Wireless Adapter.). Note: If the option “Wireless In/XLR Out” is selected (Personality–> DMX Input –>Wireless In/XLR Out), the fixture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output. The fixture behaves as ” Wireless/ Wired” adapter. Example:
Remotely controllable functions
Lamp The Robin MegaPointe is to be operated with a Osram Sirius HRI 470W RO lamp. The Osram Sirius HRI 470W RO is a lamp system consisting of a short arc burner within a reflector.

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. [NEXT] , [PREV] buttons for moving between menu items and symbols, adjusting values. [ENTER/Display On] button used to enter the selected menu (menu item) and to confirm adjusted value. If the fixture is disconnected from mains, the button switches the touch screen on. Icons used in the touch screen menu:
– [back arrow] used to move back to the previous screen (menu). – [up arrow] used to move up on the previous page. – [down arrow] used to move down on the next page. – [confirm] used to save adjusted values, to leave menu or to perform desired action. – [cancel] used to leave menu item without saving changes. – [confirm+copy] used to save adjusted values and copy them to the next prog. step. – [warning icon] used to indicate some error which has occurred in the fixture. – [lamp menu] used to switch on/off the lamp and to set lamp functions. – [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected. – [display turn] used to turn the display by 180°. – [slider control] used to recall slider system for setting desired value. – [keyboard control] used to recall keyboard system for setting desired value. The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen. After switching the fixture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo:
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. If you switch the fixture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the fixture 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 specified limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specified 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 fixture functions. Damage caused by batteries failed due to exceeded maximum ambient temperature cannot be claimed under warranty terms.

Calibrate Pan/Tilt EMS – This menu item allows calibration of the pan/tilt
electronic motion stabilizer. Important: during this calibration any external
force must not influence the fixture and the surface at which the fixture
stands (or truss if the fixture hangs) has to be without movement, shake,
strokes etc.
Load Default Calibrations – The item loads default (factory) calibration
values.
Updating software – The menu item allows you to switch the fixture to the
updating mode and to update software in the fixture via either serial or USB
port of PC. The following items are required in order to update software: – PC
running Windows or Linux or macOS – DSU file – Flash cable RS232/DMX,
P/N13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC) – Robe Universal
Interface or Robe Universal interface WTX (if you want to use an USB port of
PC) After the software updating the fixture will be set to default values.
To update software in the fixture: 1. DSU file is available from Robe web site
at WWW.robe.cz.
File with extension zip is intended for Windows (used and tested from XP to
W10 on 32/64bit systems). File with extension tbz is intended for Linux (used
and tested on Debian and Ubuntu 32/64bit). File with extension dmg is intended
for macOS (used and tested on OSX up to Sierra) XQuartz required, install it
from https://www.xquartz.org/ Save the download file to a folder on your
computer. In case that you use windows, extract files in the zip file (e.g.
DSU_RobinPointe_18100828.zip) 2. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.
3. If you use the flash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your
computer with DMX input of the fixture by means of the cable. If you use the
Robe Universal Interface, connect a USB port of your computer with the Robe
Universal Interface by means of the USB cable and DMX input of the fixture
with the DMX output of the Robe Universal Interface via a DMX cable. 4. Switch
the fixture to the update mode (tab “Service” –> Update Software). Note: If
you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch off and
on the fixture to escape from the updating mode. We recommend to cancel all
running programs on your computer before starting the software update. 5.
Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_RobinPointe_18100828.exe) in
the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start running.
6. Select correct “COM ” number if you use a Flash cable RS232/DMX or select
“Robe Universal Interface ” if you use the Robe Universal Interface/Robe
Universal Interface WTX and then click on the “Connect” button.
7. If the connection is OK, click the “Start Uploading” button to start
software uploading. It will take several minutes to perform software update.
If the option “Incremental Update” is not checked, all processors will be
updated (including processors with the same software version). If you wish to
update only processors with new version of software, check the “Incremental
Update box”. Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed
in the “Info Box” window. When the update is finished, the line with the text
“Fixture is successfully updated” will appear in this window.
In case upload process is interrupted (e.g. power loss), the fixture stays in
“Updating mode” and you will have
32
to repeat the software update again.
Another way, how to update software in the fixtures (especially large
installation of fixtures) is to use the ROBE Uploader. It is a software for
automatized software update of Robe fixtures. It takes advantage of RDM
support). For more information please see https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/.

Settings – The menu offers many items for setting of lamp behaviour. Lamp
Power – The item allows to set desired power of the lamp Eco mode – Lamp power
is reduced to 380W, lamp life is extended to 2000 hrs. Standard mode – Lamp
runs on max. power of 470W. Lamp life is 1500hrs. This mode is set as default.
This setting can be temporarily changed by DMX command at “Power/Special
functions” channel Lamp Ignition Delay – The item allows to set the time
delay( 0-90sec.) before igniting the lamp by DMX command. If the lamp is
started directly from the control panel, the time delay will be ignored. Lamp
Light Sensor – Select this item to switch the light sensor off. The option
“On” is intended for a standard
operation. The option “Off” is for “emergency operation” only! If the lamp
light sensor is switched off, the fixture will still try to ignite the lamp
(even when the lamp is damaged or absent), on this account some electronics
parts of the fixture can be damaged!
Lamp On/Off Settings – Use the menu to set rules for automatic switching
on/off the lamp. Lamp On Power On – If the item is on, the lamp will be
automatically turn on after switching the fixture on. Lamp Off via DMX – The
item enables to switch the lamp off via DMX command from DMX controller.
Lamp On if DMX Present – The item allows you to strike the lamp automatically
after 26 seconds if DMX signal is present on the fixture´s DMX input. Lamp Off
if not DMX – The item allows you to switch off the lamp automatically after 2
minutes if DMX signal is missing on the fixture´s DMX input.
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. The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special ,,Start Code,” and by complying with the timing specifications for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific moving lights. RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it. The list of commands for Robin MegaPointe is the following.

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. A soft lint-free cloth
moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no
circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER ! Always disconnect the fixture from mains before starting any
maintenance work.
If the fixture is connected to mains, high voltage is present at a heat sink
and some parts of the lamp driver in the fixture head !
Lamp driver and its heat sink is under high voltage!
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to
building up residues, reducing the lightoutput 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.
Important! Check the air filters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!
Clean the air filters placed in the fixture head and base. Use a vacuum
cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry. After replacing
the air filters, reset the elapsed time counter in the menu “Information”
(Information—>Air Filters—> Elapsed Time).
Replacing the fuse. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
1. Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting
screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
2. Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder. 3. Install the new fuse in the
fuse holder (only the same type and rating). 4. Replace the fuseholder in the
housing and fix it.
Checking plastic parts of the fixture. The plastic parts of the fixture should
be checked for damages and beginning cracks at least every two months. In
addition, the plastic part of the front lens has to be checked mechanically
(by means of movement by the plastic part) if it is firmly fastened to the
fixture. If hint of a crack is found on some plastic part, do not use the
fixture until the damaged part will be replaced. Cracks or another damages of
the plastic parts can be caused by the fixture transportation or manipulation
and also ageing process may influence plastic materials.
This checking is necessary for both fixed installations and preparing fixtures
for renting. Any free moving parts inside of the fixture head, cracked plastic
or any plastic part of front lens not sitting properly in place need to be
immediately replaced.
Example of a crack on the plastic cover (for illustrative purpose).
Disposing of the product
To preserve the environment please dispose or recycle this product at the end
of its life according to the local regulations and codes.
