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 the ParFect 150 TW is the following.

RDM model ID for the ROBIN Parfect 150 is 0x00f5.

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 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 fan 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.
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.

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.
More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.

Replacing the fuse

Replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type and rating only.
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.
