The temperatures can be displayed in either °C or °F units – see option “tEM.U“ in the menu “Pers“.
Sw Ver —Software Versions. Select this function to read the software version of the fixture processors.
6.3 Personality
**Pers**
Use this menu to modify the ArcPower 24 Outdoor operating behaviour.
DMX Pres — DMX preset. Select this menu item to set a desired DMX mode. Please refer to the chapter “DMX
protocol” for detail description of each DMX mode.
DMX In — DMX inpu t. Use the menu to select mode of receiving DMX signal:
Wired – DMX s ignal is received by means of the standard DMX cable.
Wireless – DMX signal is received by means of the inbuilt wireless module (wireless DMX version only).
Wrle Out – the fixture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output.
The fixture behaves as ” Wireless/Wired” adapter (wireless DMX version only).
E.g. You have 5 fixtures, one fixture is equipped with the wireless DMX module and 4 fixtures are standard fixtures without wireless DMX module. The first fixture receives wireless DMX and sents this signal to the rest of fixures, which are connected to the first fixture by means of the DMX cable in a DMX chain.
Analog 0-10V — Analog dimmer. If this option is selected, the dimmer channel can be controlled via DC voltage (0-10V) connected between pins 1 (data ground) and 3 (Data +) of DMX input of the fixture (0-data ground, 10V- data +).
Procedure of setting:

1. Set fixture´s channels at desired values (by means of menu item Init Effect Positions “I. Ef.Pos”).
2. Disconnect DMX controller
3. Select option “Ana log 0-10V” from menu DMX input
4. Connect DC voltage to the DIX input of the fixture

M FTime — Max. Fade time. Select this menu item to set a desired max. fade time (0-25.5 sec.). This adjusted fade time influences fade of Red, Green, Blue,White and dimmer during DMX operation:
If time between two receiving DMX values is > than fade time set in the item “M Ftime“, the entire adjusted fade time will be used.
If time between two receiving DMX values is < than fade time set in the item“M Ftime“, the adjusted fade time will be reduced to fill entire time between the two receiving DMX values. e.g “M Ftime“=2sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, that red will go to full intensity during 2 seconds.
“M Ftime“=8 sec. and fixture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive Red=255 DMX. It means, that red will go to full intensity during 5 seconds. (Max, fade time is reduced from 8 sec. to 5 sec.).

The following are required in order to update software:
– PC running Windows or Linux or macOS – DSU file
– Flash cable RS232/DMX P/N13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
– Robe Universal Interface or Robe Universal interface WTX (if you want to use an USB port of PC) After the software updating the fixture will be set to default (factory) values.
To update software in the fixture:

1. DSU file is available from Robe web site at https://www.robe.cz/architectural/download/#software-updates
   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_ArcPowerOutdoor24_18120641.zip)

2. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.

3. If you use the flash cable RS232/DMX, connect a serial port of your computer with DMX input of the fixture by means of the cable.
   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.

4. Switch the fixture to the update mode (Special –> Sw Upd –>Yes).
   Note: If you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture to escape from the updating mode.
   We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the software update.

5. Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_ArcPowerOutdoor24_18120641.exe) in the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start running.

6. 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 not topical versions 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.
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.
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 fixtures.

RDM

This fixture is ready for 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 foDMX512, 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 ArcPower 24 Outdoor is the following.
