1 - Shield 1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-) 2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+) 3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected 4 - Not connected
5 - 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 wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR out-
puts, 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. Up to 32 fixtures can be conected.
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 3-pin XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.

13
4.7 Ethernet connection
The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with appropriate communication protocol (e.g. Art-Net).
The control software 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.

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 Robin Forte is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 sockets for Ethernet connection. 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): RJ-45 plug (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 LAN sockets are wired 1:1,that is,pins with the same numbers
are connected together:
1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8
If only the fixture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.A
cross-cable has to be used:
1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4
If the fixture is connected with active Ethernet socket (e.g. switch) the network icon will appear at the
bottom right corner of the screen:

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

NET mask: 255.0.0.0

14
 The fixture is equipped with Ethernet Pass Through Switch which sustains Ethernet integrity, when the fixture
has no power, it automatically maintains network connectivity.
If you use the Ethernet IN-OUT way for the Ethernet connection, max. 8 fixtures can be connected in
the IN-OUT line.

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.
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.

Example:

DMX address=163 DMX address=109 DMX address=1

IP addres=002.168.002.002
Universe=0

DMX address=163 DMX address=109 DMX address=1

IP addres=002.168.002.003
Universe=1

 4.8 Wireless DMX operation
The wireless DMX version of the fixture is equipped with the wireless DMX/RDM module which has full support
for wireless communication protocols at entertainment market. The module is based on well known Lumen-
Radio RF technology, with implemented wire interface for connection with Robe products. RF output for MCX
interface antenna as standard output.

The item " Wireless " from the menu "DMX Input" allows you to activate receiving of wireless DMX (Person-
ality--> DMX Input -->Wireless.). First two options from the "DMX Input" menu are stated in DMX chart as well
(channel Power/Special functions , range of 10-19 DMX). If DMX input option is changed by DMX command,
the change is permanently written into fixture´s memory.

DMX range of 10-19 switching fixture to the wired/wireless operation is active only during first 10 sec-
onds after switching the fixture on.

After switching the fixture on, the fixture checks both modes of receiving DMX in the following order:

1. For the first five seconds, the fixture receives DMX signal from the wired input. If the Power/Special functions
channel is set at some DMX input option, the fixture will receive DMX value according to this option. If DMX input
option is set to the wired input , this option is saved and checking procedure is finished. If DMX input option is
not set, the fixture continues next 5 seconds in scanning wireless DMX signal-see point 2.

2. For the next 5 seconds the fixture receives wireless DMX signal and again detects if the Power/Special
functions channel is set at some DMX input option, if not, the fixture will take option which is set in the fixture
menu "DMX Input".

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 “Wireless State“ (Information
-->Wireless State).
To unlink the fixture from DMX transmitter.
The fixture can be unlinked from transmitter via the menu item “ Unlink Wireless Adapter“ (Information--> Wire-
less State --> Unlink Wireless Adaptor).

Note: If the option "Wireless In/XLR Out" is selected (Personality--> DMX Input -->Wireless In/XLR Out), the
fixture receives wireless DMX and sends the signal to its wired DMX output. The fixture behaves as " Wireless/
Wired" adaptor.

 7. Control menu
The Robin Forte 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.

The fixture´s menu can be controlled either by the control buttons or directly by touching the icon.

Control buttons on the front panel:

[ESCAPE] button used to leave the menu without saving changes.
[NEXT] , [PREV] buttons for moving between menu items and symbols, adjusting values.
[ENTER/Display On] button used to enter the selected menu (menu item) and to confirm adjusted value.
If the fixture is disconnected from mains, the button switches the touch screen on.

Icons used in the touch screen menu:

- [back arrow] used to move back to the previous screen (menu).

- [up arrow] used to move up on the previous page.

- [down arrow] used to move down on the next page.

- [confirm] used to save adjusted values, to leave menu or to perform desired action.

- [cancel] used to leave menu item without saving changes.

- [confirm+copy] used to save adjusted values and copy them to the next prog. step.

- [warning icon] used to indicate some error which has occurred in the fixture.

- [Ethernet] used to indicate Ethernet connected.

- [menu rotation] used to rotate menu 180 degrees from current orientation.

- [slider control] used to recall slider system for setting desired value.

- [keyboard control] used to recall keyboard system for setting desired value.

- [air filters cleaning] used to signal that cleaning period of the air filters elapsed.

The menu page displays icons for each function that you can perform from the touch screen.
After switching the fixture on, the touch screen shows the screen with the ROBE logo.

Battery indication
Type of LED
engine used in
the fixture

23
Type of used LED engine in the fixture is displayed on the top line of the screen.
HP - High Performance Engine for maximum light output and optimal colour characteristics.

HCF - High Colour Fidelity Engine for the best light quality and colour reproduction.

The type of used LED engine is displayed if the fixture is disconnected from power as well.

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. The battery
charges during fixture operation, its charging lasts cca 6 hours.
We recommend that the fixture should be in operation at least 7 hours per week to keep the battery fully charged.
If you switch the fixture on and this screen will not appear till 1 minute, switch the fixture off and on again. If the
screen lights, the battery is exhausted. In case the screen still does not light, the battery is faulty.
This is also indicated by an error message "Faulty battery" and if such an error message appears the battery
should be replaced immediately. The lifetime of the battery is highly dependent on ambient temperature (and
consequently on base temperature). If the maximum ambient temperatures (as recorded and displayed in menu:
Information -> Fixture Temperatures -> Ambient Temperature -> Maximum NonRes.) are kept within the spec-
ified limits, the battery should last for at least two years. Shell the ambient temperatures exceed the specified
maximum temperature, the lifetime of the batteries could be considerably shortened even up to just one year
or less and also result in physical damage (battery leakage) or unreliable fixture functions.
Damage caused by batteries failed due to exceeded maximum ambient temperature cannot be claimed under
warranty terms.

Touch the green arrow at the bottom right corner of the screen or press the [ENTER/Display On] button to enter
the " Address" menu.
Each item (such as a Tab, menu item, text box, icon) may be selected from a screen by simply touching the

LEDs Measure - This menu item runs a procedure which measures a light intensity of the LEDs module installed
in the fixture. This procedure takes about 1 minute (message " LEDs Module Measurement" is displayed on
the screen"). During the procedure the fixture does not receive DMX signal, pan/tilt go to 128 DMX, a shutter
is open and a dimmer is set at max. light intensity (255 DMX). All effects are taken out from the light beam.
The measured light intensity is recorded in the item Intensity in the menu LED Module Info:
Tab Information --> Actual Module Info --> Intensity
Tab Information --> Intensity History --> Intensity
The light intensity in the menu item Intensity is displayed in percentages in relation to the initial intensity of the
new LEDs module (initial intensity=100%).
The LEDs Measure procedure should be run after every change of the LED light source.
Note: The fixture has to be connected to mains in order to run LEDs Measure procedure.

Update software - The menu item allows you to update software in the fixture.

The following items are required in order to update software:

- PC running Windows or Linux or macOS
- DSU file
- Flash cable RS232/DMX, P/N13050624 (if you want to use a serial port of PC)
- Robe Universal Interface or Robe Universal interface WTX (if you want to use an USB port of PC)
After the software updating the fixture will be set to default values.

To update software in the fixture:

1. DSU file is available from Robe web site at WWW.robe.cz.
File with extension zip is intended for Windows (used and tested from XP to W10 on 32/64bit systems).
File with extension tbz is intended for Linux (used and tested on Debian and Ubuntu 32/64bit).
File with extension dmg is intended for macOS (used and tested on OSX up to Sierra) XQuartz required,
install it from https://www.xquartz.org/
Save the download file to a folder on your computer.
In case that you use windows, extract files in the zip file (e.g. DSU_RobinForte_18100828.zip)

33
2. Disconnect the fixture from DMX controller.
3. 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.
4. Switch the fixture to the update mode (tab "Service" --> Update Software).
Note: If you do not want to continue in the software update, you have to switch off and on the fixture
to escape from the updating mode.
We recommend to cancel all running programs on your computer before starting the software update.
5. Double-click the software uploader file (e.g. DSU_RobinForte_18100828.exe) in
the extracted files. The Software Uploader program will start to run.

6. 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.
7. 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).

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 takes advantage of RDM
support).
For more information please see https://www.robe.cz/robe-uploader/.

 8. RDM
This fixture supports RDM operation. 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.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.
The list of commands for Robin Forte is the following:

9. Robe Ethernet Access Portal (REAP)

The REAP allows you to display on your computer information about some fixture settings, operating conditions
(e.g. temperature in the fixture) and error messages which were generated during fixture operation.
Your computer needs to be connected to the fixture(s) through the means of Ethernet wired network and a
network switch.
The Ethernet network connection (Local LAN) typically needs to be set to 2.x.x.x address, assuming that no
other computer on the network contains such an address while keeping all ROBE fixtures in default IP settings.

For more information about REAP options, computer and fixture settings please see the REAP user manual at
https://www.robe.cz/res/downloads/user_manuals/User_manual_REAP.pdf

13. 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 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.
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 two air filters placed in the fixture base. Use a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them
and put back dry.
After replacing the air filters, reset the elapsed time counter in the tab "Information"
(Information--->Air Filters---> Elapsed Time).

Sliding bars of CMY colour mix. system should be lubricated every 6 months. As lubricant we recommend
ÄRONIX silicone oil 500 cSt - it is a medium viscosity lubricant, release agent, high temperature oil (from -20°C
to +300°C).

Replacing the fuse.

Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
1. Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing
(anti-clockwise).
2. Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
3. Install the new fuse in the fuse holder (only the same type and rating).
4. Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.

Checking plastic parts of the fixture.

The plastic parts of the fixture should be checked for damages and beginning cracks at least every two months.
In addition, the plastic part of the front lens has to be checked mechanically (by means of movement by the
plastic part) if it is firmly fastened to the fixture. If hint of a crack is found on some plastic part, do not use the
fixture until the damaged part will be replaced.
Cracks or another damages of the plastic parts can be caused by the fixture transportation or manipulation and
also ageing process may influence plastic materials.
This checking is necessary for both fixed installations and preparing fixtures for renting. Any free moving parts
inside of the fixture head, cracked plastic or any plastic part of front lens not sitting properly in place need to
be immediately replaced.

16.1Changing the LED light source

The Robin Forte allows you to change the LED light source and this way keep a high performance of the fixture.

To change the LED light source.

1. Disconnect the fixture from mains and allow it to cool about 30 minutes.
2. Remove top covers of the fixture and lock the head in a horizontal position in which you will have access to
the control PCB of the LED light source.
3. Disconnect two black connectors (2) and one white connector (1) from the LEDs control PCB.

4. Unscrew two screws M3x12 with star washers (3) on each side of the rear cover (4) of the head and remove
the cover (4).

51
5. Unscrew the four screws M5x25 and remove the LED light source (6) from the head. Be careful, the LED
light source is heavy.
