Earth

This device falls under class one and must be earthed (grounded)! To apply power, first check that the tilt locks is released. Design of the ROBIN TetraX allows to connect several fixtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors. Needed daisy chain cords are stated in the chapter
“Technical specifications ” Maximum number of linked fixtures depends on input voltage:

CE:
11 fixtures at power supply= 230V 10 fixtures at power supply= 208V 5 fixtures at power supply= 120V

US:
9 fixtures at power supply= 230V 8 fixtures at power supply= 208V 4 fixtures at power supply= 120V

Real numbers of fixtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the fixtures installation Do not overload the supply line and connecting leads.

4.2 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 regulations.
. For overhead installation, the fixture must be always secured with a safety wire that
can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
Allow the fixture to cool for 30 minutes before handling. IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional companies.
CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the fixture! The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of public. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Danger of fire ! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION! Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics .
For securing the fixture to the truss, install a safety wire which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate.

Truss installation 1. Bolt rigging clamps (1) to the omega holders (2) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the holes in the holders. 2. Fasten the omega holders to the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into
the holes of the base and tighten fully them clockwise. 3. Clamp the fixture on the truss (4) and tighten the rigging clamps. 4. Pull one safety wire (5) around the truss (4) and through the handle (7) and lock the snap hook with screw lock gate in the attachment point (6).
Avoid illuminating one fixture with another! In order to protect the internal parts of the head from the sun, the function PARKING POSITION must be switched ON before switching the fixture off.
The PARKING POSITION function is located on the Power/Special functions channel (120-129 DMX). If the function is on, the fixture will automatically detect via G-sensor whether the fixture is on the floor or hangs on the truss and tilts the moving head to the position in which the moving head will always face down. Owing this position of the moving head, there is not chance to burn internal parts of the LEDs array by the sun light.

4.4 Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with appropriate communication protocol (e.g. Art-Net). 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.The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network. The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The Robin TetraX EP is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 sockets for Ethernet connection. Use a network cable ca-

tegory 5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.

4.5 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless DMX version of the fixture is equipped with ROBE wireless DMX/RDM module, The module has full support for wireless communication protocols at entertainment market. Modul is based on well known LumenRadio RF technology, with implemented wire interface for connection with Robe products. RF output for MCX interface antenna as standard output. 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 Adaptor). 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” adaptor. Example of connection:

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.
Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the current stored DMX address:

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 TetraX 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 inside optical system. 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 weak detergent solution is recommended for cleaning fixture´s covers, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER ! Disconnect from the mains before starting any
maintenance and cleaning work.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air. The cooling fans in the base should be cleaned at least once a year.
Important! Never use alcohols (ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol), acetone and another aggressive solvents for cleaning the LED lens array. Do not immerse lenses in liquid (e.g. water) during cleaning.
Recommended steps for cleaning the LED lens array: 1. Use low-pressure compressed air to remove coarse dust from lenses. 2. Use distilled water with weak detergent solution and lint-free small cloth for further cleaning of lenses. 3. Use an antistatic, alcohol-free screen cleaner (we recommend the Lyreco Screen Cleaner) and polish lenses
until they are dry. 4. Check the lenses are dry before reapplying power.
Important! Check the air filter in the fixture base periodically and clean before they become clogged!
Periodically clean air filter placed in the fixture´s base. The air filter cover is fastened by means of magnets. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry. After replacing the air filter, 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. 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, cracked plastic or any plastic part not sitting properly in place need to be immediately replaced.

To remove the optical module from moving head 1.Connect the fixture to mains and after fixture reset go to the tab Manual Control, select item Zoom
and set it at 0 DMX in order to slide the optical module (1) into the moving head. 2.Disconnect the fixture from mains. 3.Unscrew the two securing screws (2) on the guide-pins which prevent the optical module from sliding
from the moving head. If you do not have access to the securing screws, carefully push the optical module (1) to the head. Do not touch the plastic lenses bare hands! 4. To make easier pulling the optical module (1) out of the moving head, screw two screws M3 (e.g. 30 mm long) (3) to the holes with M3 thread as shown on the picture below. The two screws help you to hold the optical module. 5. Carefully take the optical module (1) out of the moving head.
34

To insert the optical module back to the moving head 1. Connect the fixture to mains and after fixture reset go to the tab Manual Control, select item the Tilt and set it
at 128 DMX and Zoom at 255 DMX. 2. Put one optical module (1) to the head in such a way that two guide-pins (5) aim into guide-tubes (7)
and two lead screws (4) aim into motors (6). 3. Hold the optical module (1) in this position and slowly change the item Zoom from 255 DMX to 0 DMX.
Motors “are pulling” the optical module into the head. If the optical module is not fully pulled into the head, carefully push the optical module into the head until you feel a stop. The optical module has to lay horizontally (it must not be askew). To check the optical module movement, set the Zoom at 255 – 0 DMX a few times. The optical module has to move smoothly in both directions. 4 Set the Zoom at 0 DMX and disconnect the fixture from mains. 5. Screw the two securing screws (2) to the guide-pins (5) to secure optical module in the moving head. DO NOT FORGET TO SCREW THE SECURING SCREWS (2) AND TO UNSCREW AUXILIARY SCREWS (3)! BEFORE CONNECTING THE FIXTURE TO MAINS!
