Installation
Mounting the fixture
Fixture must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all
national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
The ArcPower 192 Outdoor US can be arranged in any position orientation. The housing of the control unit offers two mounting holes, each with a diameter of 13mm.
Caution: Overhead installation requires experience. Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the device and consult installation with an expert.
Connection to the mains
The ArcPower 192 Outdoor US uses a 5-cored power/data cable. The 3 cores serve
for the power supply and next 2 shielded cores are intended for DMX connection
:
The power/data cable is connected to a junction box as shown on the picture below.
Connect the junction box to mains and DMX acording to the tables below
Power connection
This device falls under class one and must be grounded!
DMX connection
Remove end caps from cable glands before passing cables into the junction box.
The four cable glands M20 with standard seals serve for cable of diameter of
6-12mm, for smaller diameter of cable (4-8mm) you have to remove original
sealing from the cable gland M20 and use the enclosed reducing seal instead
it. Four reducing seals for diameter of cable 4-8mm (P/N 13051388) are
enclosed.
Fully tighten cable gland nuts and check that cables are properly fastened in
the cable glands.
Note: To keep declared IP rating, every cable gland has to be covered
with the end cap if this cable gland is not used for cable passing. Screw the
cover of the junction box and check that it is fully tighten.
Connection between LED modules and ArcPower 192 Outdoor US unit
Four cables serve for interconnection between LED modules and the ArcPower 192
Outdoor US. The Chogori connectors are marked by self-adhesive labels (LED1,
LED2,LED3,LED4) next to the connectors and the following order of cable
connections has to be kept to ensure correct operation of the driver:
- LED1-LED Zone 1
- LED2-LED Zone 2
- LED3-LED Zone 3
- LED4-LED Zone 4
NOTE: max. length betwen LED module and control unit: 80m (at 350mA load), 20m (at 700mA load).
Setting and control
For setting DMX address, selecting DMX mode and for another settings you need
either Robe Universal Interface or RDM Communicator. Please see the Robe
Universal Interface or RDM Communicator user manuals to get more information
about this products. The way, how to connect these interfaces to the DMX data
link is figured below.
NOTE: Do not connect the RDM communicator and the The Robe Universal
Interface to the fixture at the same time.
- Robe Universal Interface
- RDM Communicator
Note: DMX controller has to be disconnected from the fixture when the RDM communicator is operated.
DMX 512 connection
To build a DMX chain
- Connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain.
- Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture.
- Always connect the DMX output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Do not overload the link. Max. 32 fixtures may be connected on a DMX link.
Caution: Terminate the output of the last fixture with a 120 Ohm resistor wired betwen data (+) and data (-) in order to ensure the proper transmission on the data link.
Wireless DMX operation
The wireless version of the ArcPower 192 Outdoor US equipped with the Lumen
Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates
on the 2.4 GHz band. To set fixture to wireless DMX operation
-
Set the unlink time in the menu PErS (PErS–>rAd.t.). Default value is 1 hour.
-
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 “r.InF.“ (SPEC–>rAdI.–> r.InF.) -
To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter. The fixture can be unlinked from receiver via the menu item “ UnL.“ (SPEC–>rAdI.–> UnL.).

After switching the fixture to the update mode cancel the RDM-Network program.
B. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.
C. 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.
D. Double-click the software uploader file (e.g.
DSU_PSUExtremeOutdoor_17100237.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 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. It can take advantage of RDM support in the units. For more information please see https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/.
