Avoid brute force when installing or operating the fixture. This fixture was designed for indoor use only, do not expose this unit to rain or use near water. When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the fixture is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.
3.1 Connection to the mains For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed! The Robin 800X LEDWash is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts. Power cable is enclosed to the fixture.If you need to install a power plug on the power cable to allow connection to power outlets, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions.
3.2 Installing the top hat Disconnect the fixture from mains before top hat installation 1. Go to the fixture menu and set reduced tilt movement (Personality --> Pan/Tilt Setting--> Tilt Movement Range --> reduced). 2.Place the top hat on the head, press locks (1) and turn the top hat counter-clockwise until it snap into slots in the flange.

3.4 Rigging the fixture The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

Rigging via two Omega holders Securing the fixture via one safety wire Securing the fixture via two safety wires 1-Fixture 2-Omega holder 3-Clamp 4-Trust 5-Safety chain The fixture can be also rigged by means of the mounting adaptor (option) for one clamp. In this case the fixture can hang on the truss in horizontal position only, not sideways .
3.5 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.
3.6 Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.The control soft- ware running on your PC (or light console) has to support Art-Net protocol. Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP.Its purpose is to allow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

Ethernet / DMX operation Options “Art2DMX” has to be selected from the “Ethernet Mode” menu on the first fixture (connected to the Ethernet) in the fixture chain,next fixtures have standard DMX setting. Connect the Ethernet-input of the first fixture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this fixture with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected to the DMX chain.

10. 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.
