5.4 Lamp adjustment Lamp electrode-check its position before insertion

to the reflector
The lamp holder is aligned at the factory.
Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance:

1. Switch on the fixture and after reset turn on the lamp.

2. Cancel all effects, open the shutter and focus the light on a
flat surface (wall) using either DMX controller or function
„Lamp adjustment” in „Special functions menu”.
3. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the
3 adjustment screws „A, B, C”. Turn one screw at a time to
drag the hot-spot, diagonally across the projected image. If
you cannot detect a hot -spot, adjust the lamp until the light
is even.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three
screws „A, B, C” clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is
evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center,
or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector.
„Push” the lamp out by turning the screws „A, B, C” counter-
clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly
distributed. 3 adjustment scews „A, B, C”

5.6 Rigging the fixture

DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!

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.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after
every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
Allow the fixture to cool for ten minutes before handling.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural

11
rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The fixture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture
must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible
installation, do not install the fixture!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the fixture’s weight.

Danger of fire!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflamma
ble material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 1,2 m.

CAUTION! Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly!
Ensure that the structure (truss)
to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The moving-head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its ope-
ration characte­ristics .
The Omega holders can be placed in 4 positions on the bottom of the base. Use the clamps (not included in delivery)
with screws M12.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use
safety ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety rope through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over
the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the fixation screw.

Fixation via the omega holders

1. Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega
holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut
through the hole in the holder.
2. Fasten the omega holders on the
bottom of the base by inserting both
quick-lock fasteners (3) into the
holes of the base and tighten fully
clockwise.
3. Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the
two apertures on the bottom of the
base and over the trussing system.

5.7 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures
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.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):
1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX
input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you wishhht to connect DMX controllers with other XLR outputs, you need to
use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX chain:

Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next fixture. Always connect one
output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) into a XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.

5.8 Ethernet connection

The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net communication protocol. The controlling software
from PC (or lighting 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.

IP address is the Internet protocol address. The IP uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The ColorSpot 1200 AT 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.

RJ-45 socket (front view):

1- TD+ 5- Not connected
2- TD- 6- RX-
3- RX+ 7- Not connected
4- Not connected 8- Not connected

Patch cables that connect fixtures to the hubs or If only the fixture and the computer are to be inter-
LAN sockets are wired 1:1, that is, pins with the connected, no hubs or other active components are
same numbers are connected together: needed. A cross-cable has to be used:
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 pin 3 6 1 8 7 2 5 4

Ethernet connection
Connect the Ethernet-inputs of all fixtures in the fixture chain with the network.
Option “Ethernet” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the fixture.
Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.

Example:
(DMX address=49) (DMX address=25) (DMX address=1)
IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002 IP addres=002.168.002.001
Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from fixture IP addresses)

NET mask: 255.0.0.0

Ethernet / DMX connection

Options „Ethernet/DMX” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the first fixture (connected to the network)
in the fixture chain, next fixtures have standard DMX addresses.
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.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

 7. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller. The fixtures respond to the DMX
signal from the controller.

7.1 DMX addressing

There are 512 available channels on DMX link. Every fixture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which is defined
as the first channel from which the fixture will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, for the ColorSpot 1200 AT the start address to channel 25, the ColorSpot 1200 AT will use the
channels 25 to 48 for control (if Mode 1 is selected from „DMX Preseting” menu).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorSpot 1200 AT correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorSpot 1200 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorSpot 1200 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the ColorSpot 1200 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there
is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash with actually address.

7.2 Remotely controllable functions

Lamp
The ColorSpot 1200 AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 1200 SA lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorSpot 1200 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your DMX-
controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be cold
before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait at least 5 minutes after having switched off the lamp before you
can switch it back on again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the Color-
Spot 1200 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired.

CMY-colours mixing system

The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range of colors
may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%.
Colour temperature correction filtre lowers the colour temperature from 5600K to 3200 K.

Colour wheel
The ColorSpot 1200 AT features a colour wheel with 4 colour positions, UV filter and 6000 K temp. filter and the hole
(open). It is also possible to rotate the colour wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called „Rainbow effect“ is
created. Auto random colour selection,random colour selection by audio control is possible.

Rotating gobo wheel 1

The rotating gobo wheel includes 6 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different speeds. All rotating gobos
are replaceable and fine indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.

Rotating gobo wheel 2

The rotating gobo wheel includes 1 glass gobo and 5 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different speeds.
All rotating gobos are replaceable and fine indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.

Effect wheel
This wheel provides 3-facet prism,5-facet prism and 2 glass effects rotating in both directions at different speeds.Prism/
gobo macros are possible.

Iris
Motorized adjustable iris,wide range of variable pulse effects.

Frost
Frost module provides variable frost for fine frosting.

Focus-multistep zoom
Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage, provided by the special multistep zoom with range
13°- 42°.

Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may also be used for
strobe effect (1 - 15 flashes per second)

Air Filters --- Regular cleaning of the air filters is very important for the fixture´s life and performance.Bildup of dust,dirt
and fog fluid residues reduces the fixture´s light output and cooling ability.The two items of this menu help you to keep
cleaning peeriod of the air filters.

yourself and ask for help your ROBE distributor.
Note 2:DMX address, IP address ,programs 1-3 and all functions in menu Personality will be set to their default values.

To update software in the fixture:

1.Installation of DMX Software Uploader.
1.DMX Software Uploader program is available from the ROBE web site at WWW.robe.cz.
2.Make a new directory ( e.g. Robe_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.
3.Unpack the program from the archive. Program file has name:DSU_name of corresponding
fixture_SoftwareID.If the Robe fixture is produced in magnetic and electronic ballast version, name
of DMX Software Uploader is the same for both versions.SoftwareID describes the versions of fixture
software included in DMX Software Uploader. Higher number means later software versions.
2.Fixture software updating.
1.Determine which of your COM port is available on your PC and connect it with to the DMX input of the
fixture using the Flash cable. Do not extend this cable! Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures
in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and the fixture. Make sure that the lamp is switched off.
2.Switch the fixture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating Software in menu Special Functions
on the fixture control panel.(From this option you cannot return back to the main menu. If you do not want to
continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture to leave this option!)
3.It is recommended that you exit all programs before running this Software Uploader.
4.Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button.
If the conection is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to perform
software update.If the option "Incremental Update"isn´t checked ,all processors will be updated (including

Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window.
When the update is finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfuly updated‘ will appear in this
window and the fixture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture remains in the update mode and you
have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The fixture was switched off before finishing software upload. After switching the fixture on again, the fixture
is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat software update
from your PC.

10. Power down mode

This mode omits fixture reset after switching the fixture on and reduces motor powers of the fixture.”Power down mode” is
useful in special cases e.g. if the fixture is in a flight case and you want to set its DMX address without taking it out from
the case.To enter “Power down mode”:
Press and hold [ENTER] and at the same time switch on the Power switch.The following message appears:
Realy Skip Initial Reset?
Escape/Enter
Press [ENTER] to activate “Power down mode” without fixture reset.Now you can set features and behaviour of the fixture
by using “Fixture Address”menu and “Personality” menu.It is expected,that this mode will be exited by switching the fixture
off ,but if you want to go directly to “normal operation mode”,execute any fixture reset.
32
Note:All motors in “Power down mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp on from the control panel is blocked.

11. RDM
This fixture supports an RDM operation. The 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 for DMX512, the
RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific
moving lights.

The ROBE DreamBox with an additional ROBE RDM-network software provides the RDM functionality. The DreamBox
supports RDM - new control protocol featuring AutoPatch and Fixture Status Monitoring.

14. 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.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances should alcohol
or solvents be used!

DANGER ! Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output
very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Dichroic colour filters, CMY lamelas,gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.

Important! Check the air filters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!
Clean the air filters from the front fans with a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry.
Replacing the air filters.
1)Disconect the fixture from power.
2)Remove both top and bottom cover of the head (by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on each cover)
3)Remove the air filters (they are fixed with a velcro fastener) from grids.
4)Clean or replace the air filters.
5)Place the filters on the grid and put head cover back.
6)Reset the elapsed time counter in menu Fixture information (Fixture Information--->Air Filters---> Elapsed
Time.

There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the main fuse.
For replacing lamp,please refer to the instructions under „Fitting/Exchanging the lamp”.

Replacing the fuse

If the lamp burns out, the fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type
and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:
1) Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
2) Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
3) Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.
4) Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.

More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
