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.

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 the mains before starting any maintenance work
  • If the fixture is connected to mains, high voltage is present at the heat sink of the lamp driver and at some parts of this lamp driver in the fixture head !ROBE-Robin-mini-pointe-Moving-Lights-FIG-22
  • 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 wheel 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.
  • More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
  • Important! Check the air filters in the fixture head periodically and clean before they become clogged!
  • Clean the air filters placed in the fixture head. 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” (Info—>Air Fil—>Ela T).

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 crack on the plastic part of the front lens (for illustrative purpose).ROBE-Robin-mini-pointe-Moving-Lights-FIG-23
