Unsuitable for covering by heat insulation material
Alvays switch off power suply of the unit before connecting or disconnecting
the unit
Installation
-
Prepare a circular opening in the lower ceiling (1) as shown in the picture below.
-
Insert the Ambiane unit into the opening. Fasten the fixture by means of two spring fasteners (2) to the opening
To connect needed cables to the fixture, unscrew two screws (4) from the plastic cover (3) and chip needed plastic thin-walled covers (6) off in order to pass cables to the connection blocks (5).
The connection blocks (5) have the following wiring:
The primary power input serves for a standard power (e.g. ArcPower for
Ambiane). 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. f the fixture is
supplied via the secondary power, the light output of the fixture can be set
by a trimmer. The fixture can be controlled by one of the following methods:
DMX 512
0-10V
DALI
The fixture is equipped with two DMX and DALI connection blocks for easy
connection to DMX or DALI chain (In/Out method).

3. DMX and DALI address setting and control
The DIP switch, located next to the connection blocks, allows to set a method
of control, run test and also allows
to switch the fixture to the update mode in case of software update.
DIP 10 – if switched to ON=test light
DIP 11 – selection of fixture control: OFF=DMX 512 or DALI, ON=0-10V
DIP 12 – change from OFF to ON position switches the fixture to the update
mode (switching to the update mode is not necessary
If the Robe Uploader is used for fixture 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 512. 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 on 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 fixture 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 fixture (fixture will not respond to DMX
commands) and deactivating command (0=OFF) to stop control of the fixture.
DIP 11 has to be set in OFF position.
Note: If DIP 11=OFF (fixture is controlled by DMX or DALI), the first
coming command switches the fixture to the corresponding operation mode (DMX
operation by a DMX command, DALI operation by a DALI command). E.g. the
fixture stays in a DALI operation and coming DMX command switches the fixture
to DMX operation. Next command is a DALI command and switches the fixture to
the DALI operation etc. If you need the permanent DALI operation, you have to
send a DALI command 8 to the fixture.
0-10V control
DIP 11 has to be set in ON position. 0-10V operation has priority to DALI
commands.
RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi- directional communication protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring. RDM allows you to set DMX address, select DMX mode and readout software version of the fixture. The .RDM protocol is also used for the software update of the fixture by means of the Robe Uploader.
Anti-glare ring installation
Insert the anti glare ring (1) into the fixture until three locks (2) snap into slots (3).
Adapter ring installation
- Remove both spring fasteners (2) by unscrewing the four screws M4x10 (1).
- Slide the adapter ring (4) onto the housing of the fixture. Screw the new fasteners (3) on the housing.
Use original screws M4x10 (1).
DMX protocol

| 1 | 1 | 0-255 | Dimmer Light intensity coarse 0% –>100% | proportional |
| – | 2 | 0-255 | Dimmer Fine Light intensity from min. –>max. | proportional |

Software update
Software update by means of the DSU file. 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) or the Robe Universal Interface / Robe
Universal interface WTX. To update software in the fixture:
-
DSU file is available from Anolis web site at https://www.anolislighting.com/
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_Ambiane_18051040.zip) -
Switch the fixture off and disconnect the fixture from DMX controller (If you use DALI control, switch off the DALI controller).
-
If you use the flash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your computer with DMX input of the fixture by means of this cable (probably you will need some USB to RS 232 converter if your computer has USB ports only). 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.
-
Switch the fixture on and switch it to the update mode (svitch the DIP 12 from OFF to ON position). We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the software uploader.
-
Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_Ambiane_18051040.exe) in the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start running.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Switch the fixture off and set the DIP 12 to OFF position.
In case upload process is interrupted (e.g. power loss), the fixture stays in
“Updating mode” and you will have to repeat the software update again.
Software update by means of the Robe Uploader
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 and Anolis fixtures. It takes advantage of
RDM support.
The fixtures has 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.
The Robe Uploader software and user manual is available at :
https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/
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.
The Robe Uploader software cannot be used if fixtures are connected by means
of DALI connection.
