Truss installation 1.Bolt clamps (4) to the brackets Omega CL (1) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the hole in the bracket Omega CL. 2.Fasten the brackets Omega CL on the bottom of the base by means of the quick-lock fasteners (2) and tighten them fully clockwise.
4.6 DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels. The Robin T1 Profile is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.
Page 13
Ethernet / DMX operation Option “ Artnet" (gMaI or gMA2 or sACN) has to be selected from “Ethernet Mode” menu at first fixture. Option “Ethernet To DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu at the first fixture (connected to the Ethernet) in the fixture chain, next fixtures have standard DMX setting.
4.8 Wireless DMX operation The wireless version of the Robin T1 Profile is equipped with the Lumen Radio CRMX module and antenna for receiving DMX signal. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band. The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Person- ality-->...

Colour Mix control (DMX channel "Colour Mix control") The Colour Mix control channel defines relation between colour channels (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, Amber, Light Green and CTC ) and the colours on the virtual colour wheel: DMX value Function 0 - 9 Virtual colour wheel has priority over colour channels (default setting)
Page 17
Green correction (DMX channel "Green correction ") The channel allows you a fine correction of colours (whites, mixed colours, colours on the Virtual colour wheel). E.g. white colour from red to green tint. Virtual colour wheel (DMX channel " Virtual colour wheel") The virtual colour contains 67 preset colours,10 user colours and 70 multicolours.
5.2 Effect functions Effect wheel The wheel rotates in both directions with variable speed which creates wide spectrum of graphic effects. Gobo wheel The fixture includes rotating gobo wheel with 7 glass gobos rotating in both directions, indexable, replaceable "SLOT&LOCK” system. Prism The 6-facet prism rotates in both directions at different speeds, 16 prism/gobo macros are available.
Page 19
Pan/Tilt Fast pan/tilt movement due to built-in electronic motion stabilizer (EMS). The electronic motion stabilizer ensures precise position of the fixture´s head during its movement and reduces its swinging when the truss shakes. Pan /Tilt movement range: 0-540°/0-265°.
7. Control menu The Robin T1 Profile is equipped with the QVGA Robe touch screen with battery backup which allows you to set the fixture´s behaviour according to your needs, obtain information on its operation, control all range of effects and program it in stand-alone mode.
Touch any part of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to display the initial screen with the cur- rent stored DMX address: Note: The green icon at the top right corner of the screen indicates the level of the display battery charging. If the whole icon is green, the battery is fully charged while the red icon indicates exhausted battery.
Resetable Hours - The item shows the number of the operation hours that the Robin T1 Profile has been powered on since the counter was last reset. In order to reset this counter to 0, touch the text box next to the item "Resetable Hours:"...

Distribute User Colour - The item allows you to "send" user colours from this fixture to all connected Robin T1 Profile fixtures by means of RDM protocol. User colours in the fixtures will be overwritten. Tungsten effect simulation - This function simulates behaviour of a halogen lamp during dimming at calibrated whites 2700K-4200K.
-Use the menu to run a test/demo sequences without an external controller, which will show you some possibilities of using Robin T1 Profile. Dynamic Mode - This mode uses all Robin T1 Profile functions including pan/tilt movement and therefore is good for a complete introduction of the fixture.
Play Program 2 - The option starts user program No. 2. Play Program 3 - The option starts user program No. 3. Edit Program - Use the menu to create or to edit desired program. The Robin T1 Profile offers 3 free programs, each up to 80 steps.

11. 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.
