Installation

1. Prepare a circular opening in the lower ceiling (1) as shown in the picture below.

2. Insert the Ambiane AP unit into the opening. Fasten the Ambiane AP by means of two spring fasteners (2) to the opening.

3. Connect needed cables to the Ambiane AP. Connection blocks (4) are placed on the PCB RB 3727 (3). The PCB is under plastic cover (5) which is fastened by means of two screws (6).

The primary power input serves for a standard power (e.g. Power Supply for Ambiane AP).
The secondary power input serves for a backup power( in case that primary power failed).
If both power inputs are under voltage, the primary power has a priority and the secondary power is disabled.
In case of primary power loss, the secondary power is enabled.
If the Ambiane AP is supplied via the secondary power, the light intensity can be set by the trimmer (9).
The Ambiane AP can be controlled by one of the following methods: DMX 512
DALI 0 – 10V (Ambiane PW, Ambiane TD only) The Ambiane AP is equipped with two DMX and DALI connection blocks for easy connection to DMX or DALI chain (In/Out method).

Power connection

DMX a nd DALI address setting and control

The DIP switch (7), located next to the connection blocks, allows you to run a test light and switch the Ambiane AP to the update mode in case of software update.
DIP 10 – if switched to ON=test light (3200K for RGBW and TW version)
DIP 11 – selection of fixture control: OFF=DMX 512 or DALI, ON=0-10V DIP 12 – change from OFF to ON position switches the Ambiane AP to the update mode (switching to the update mode is not necessary if the Robe Uploader is used for Ambiane AP update).
DMX control
The DMX start address, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. The address may be any channel from 1 to 509. DMX address can be set either by DIP switch or by RDM. DMX address set by RDM overwrites address set by DIP switch and vice versa. The green LED (8) on the PCB signals way of DMX address setting:
LED lights-DMX address is set by means of the DIP switch.
LED does not light- DMX address is set by means of RDM.
DIP 11 has to be set in OFF position.
Example of DMX addresses:
DALI control
Addressing of the Ambiane AP is made by means of an external DALI controller. The external DALI controller has to send activating command (8=ON) if you need to start the permanent control of the Ambiane AP (Ambiane AP will not respond to DMX commands) and deactivating command (0=OFF) to stop control of the Ambiane AP. DIP 11 has to be set in OFF position.
Note: If DIP 11=OFF (Ambiane AP is controlled by DMX or DALI), the first coming command switches the Ambiane AP to the corresponding operation mode (DMX operation by a DMX command, DALI operation by a DALI command). E.g. the Ambiane AP stays in a DALI operation and coming DMX command switches the Ambiane AP to DMX operation. Next command is a DALI command and switches the Ambiane AP to the DALI operation etc. If you need the permanent DALI operation, you have to send a DALI command 8 to the Ambiane AP.
0-10V control
DIP 11 has to be set in ON position. 0-10V operation has priority to DALI commands. The option is applicable for Ambiane PW and Ambiane TD only.

RDM

This Ambiane AP supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DM X512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
RDM allows you to set some options as DMX address, select DMX mode and readout software version of the Ambiane AP etc.
Via RDM you can also set behaviour of the fixture in case of loss of DMX signal. For this purpose serve the following two options:
DMX hold
Value On (0) – the fixture keeps last received DMX values in case of DMX loss (default setting).
Value Off (1) – it activates the option ” DMX lost”. To set the option “DMX hold” to Off, you have to send a value 1 via RDM.
DMX lost
The option is active only if the option “DMX hold” is set Off.
Value On (0) – the fixture lights at max. light output in case of DMX loss (default setting).
Value Off (1) – The light output of the fixture is closed in case of DMX loss.
To set the option “DMX lost” to Off, you have to send a value 1 at RDM.
RDM model ID for the Ambiane AP is 0x0114.

Anti-glare ring installation

Insert the anti-glare ring (1) into the Ambiane AP until three locks (2) snap into slots (3).

Adapter ring installation

1. Remove both spring fasteners (2) by unscrewing the four screws M4x10 (1).
2. Slide the adapter ring (4) onto the housing of the Ambiane AP. Screw the new fasteners (3) on the housing.
   Use original screws M4x10 (1).

Software update

Software update of the fixture can be done by means of the ROBE Uploader. It is a software for automatized software update of Robe and Anolis fixtures. It takes advantage of RDM support.
The fixtures have to be connected in a daisy-chain (max. 32 fixtures) and via the Robe Universal Interface/ Robe Universal Interface WTX and a USB cable connected to the control PC with the Robe Uploader running. The control PC should be connected to the Internet.
Note: If you do the software update by means of the Robe Uploader, switching fixtures to the update mode (and from the update mode) is made automatically, without need to switch the DIP 12 to ON position (update mode).
The Robe Uploader software cannot be used if fixtures are connected by means of DALI connection.
The Robe Uploader software and user manual is available at : https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/
