I n s t a l l i n g a n d C h a n g i n g t h e L a m p The RoboScan Pro 518 is designed to use the Osram HSD 250 and Philips MSD-250/2 dis- charge lamps. -
Page 7: Installing A Plug On The Power Cord
W A R N I N G ! For safe operation, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The RoboScan Pro 518 may be delivered without a plug on the power cord. Following the manufacturer’s instructions, install an approved 3-prong grounding-type plug that fits your supply. -
Page 8: Setup For Controller Operation
DMX controllers usually have 5-pin XLR outputs and are wired with pin 2 cold (-) and pin 3 hot (+). Martin-standard controllers have 3-pin XLR outputs wired with pin 2 hot (+) and pin 3 cold (-). The Pro 518’s XLR input is config- ured for the Martin standard. - Page 9 The address may be any channel between 1 and 32. DMX mode: The RoboScan Pro 518 may be operated in 3 DMX modes; see the DMX pro- tocol starting on page 18 for details. It uses 7 consecutive DMX channels in mode 1, and 9 consecutive DMX channels in modes 2 and 3.

Page 10: Operation
S t a n d - A l o n e O p e r a t i o n The Roboscan Pro 518 may be operated without a controller in stand-alone mode. In this mode, the fixture performs a random sequence that is triggered by the beat of the music or at a set speed. - Page 11 A relay inside the fixture allows you to turn on and off the lamp via the controller without affecting the rest of the fixture. After switching on the RoboScan Pro 518, the lamp will remain off until you send a “lamp on” command from the controller.

Beginning with software version 6.4, an improved speed array has been programmed for use with the Martin controllers. This increases the range of speeds available for controlling effects. To use this feature, the DMX-mode jumper must be set to mode 3. This is the fac- tory default setting. -

Page 16: Adjusting The Mirror
Adjusting the Mirror Readjusting the mechanical stop on the RoboScan Pro 518 mirror adaptor is required if the pan or tilt motor occasionally loses step, leaving the mirror incorrectly positioned after a reset. This error occurs when the recoil of the mechanical reset bounces the mirror and bracket a whole pan or tilt motor step. - Page 17 Carefully turn the motor and mirror clockwise (make sure the motor axle does not turn) until there is a distance of 1/2 to 1 mm (1/64 - 1/32”) between the edge of the mirror bracket (C2) and the top mechanical stop (C1).

For smooth movement in vector mode, the controller’s fade time must be set to 0, i.e., the position must bump from the current value to the next. If the RoboScan Pro 518 is set to run vector mode, tracking mode can be enabled by programming the speed channels to 0. - Page 19 Channel Mode Mode Mode Values Percent Effect Color 0 - 3 0 - 1 White 4 - 7 2 - 3 White / Pink split 8 - 11 3 - 4 Pink 12 - 15 5 - 6 Pink / Magenta split 16 - 19 6 - 7 Magenta...
