The Robin MiniMe was not designed for merged projection as due to the nature of the light source, each projector can look slightly different. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE POWERING OR INSTALLING YOUR ROBIN MiniMe ! Save it for future reference. This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition.
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, dust or entertainment smoke (haze) Air vents and slots in the fixture´s head and base are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the device and to protect it from overheating. Do not block the light output with any object when the fixture is under operation.

3. Installation Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations. 3.1 Connection to the mains For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed! The Robin MiniMe is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50-60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts.
3.2 Rigging the fixture A structure intended for installation of the fixture (s) must safely hold weight of the fixture(s) placed on it. The structure has to be certificated to the purpose. The fixture (fixtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes and regulation.
Rigging via omega holder: 1-Omega holder with a quarter-turn loks 2-Clamp 3-Trust 4-Attachment point 5-Safety wire When installing fixtures side-by-side, avoid illuminating one fixture with another! 3.3 Positioning the Robin MiniMe The Robin MiniMe is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations: 1. Front Table - the fixture is placed near the floor in front of the screen. 2. Front Ceiling - the fixture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) in front of the screen.
There is a chart of throw distance ratio of 3.5 : 1 to assist you in determining the ideal location for your fixture. Note: There is a tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. We recommend that if you intend to permanently install the Robin MiniMe, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual fixture before you permanently install it.
3.4 Using the mounting bracket The mounting bracket allows simple mounting of the Robin MiniMe on the ceiling. The mounting bracket is intended for horizontal mounting only. IMPORTANT! Ceiling mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits and installation material being used. To fasten the Robin MiniMe on the ceiling via the mounting bracket, follow these steps: 1. Fasten the mounting bracket (1) on the ceiling (2) by means of the four screws (3).
5. Gently tighten the stabilization screw until reaches the base of the fixture to prevent the MiniMe from wobbling. 6. After connecting power and DMX cables place the cable cover (9) and secure it with an 1/4-turn screw (10) 3.5 Installing the wide-angle lens module Disconnect from the mains before the wide-angle module installing If you need to install the optional wide-angle lens module, follow the steps: 1. Remove both top and button covers (1) from the fixture head. 2.
3.6 DMX-512 connection The fixture is equipped with 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
3.7 Ethernet connection The fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with ArtNet communication protocol.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.
3.8. Wireless DMX operation The external Robe Wireless CRMX-LB100 module allows receiving wireless DMX. CRMX module operates on the 2.4 GHz band. Robe Wireless CRMX-LB100 1 - 5-pin XLR (female) 2 - Locating pin 3 - Lock Push in the 5-pin XLR plug (1) into 5-pin XLR sockit (4) and simultaneously locating pin (2) into hole (5) in the fixture. In this way the wireless DMX module is connected with the fixture and prepared for operation.

5. Control menu The Robin MiniMe is equipped with 2-row LCD display which allows to set the fixture´s behaviour according to your needs, obtain information on its operation, test its various parts and lastly program it, if it has to be used in a stand-alone mode. Control panel: [ESCAPE] button used to leave the menu without saving changes. [NEXT] , [PREV] buttons for moving between menu items and for value adjusting. [ENTER] button used to enter the selected menu (menu item) and to confirm adjusted value.
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 period of the air filter. Aler P - Alert period. Cleaning schedule for the fixture depends on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify accurate cleaning interval. This item allows you to change the cleaning interval of the air filters. This "alert" value is 300 hours and it is set as default.
two minutes after last pressing any button on the control panel. Contrast- Use this function to adjust contrast of the display (0-15). Backlight- Use this function to adjust backlight of the display (0-15). LED Engi - Led engine options. Enter the menu if you want to set special options for LED engine. Ceil P - Ceiling projection. When this function is "On", the picture is top (bottom and left) right reversed.
5.6 Reset (Reset) This option enables to index all effects and return them to their standard positions. Reset GE - reset of the graphic engine module. Reset P/T - reset of the pan/tilt module. Reset Focu - reset of the focus module. Reset All - reset of all fixture modules. 5.7 User Media (User Media) Custom media files can be saved in the fixture memory or can be called from the external USB drive. No USB - This item will appear if no USB flash drive is connected.
Supported file formats are: jpg for pictures (resolution up to 4096 x 4096 pixels) mpeg4 and h264 for videos (resolution up to 1920 x1080 pixels, optimal 1280x800) Note: the native resolution of the light projection engine is 1280x800 pixels, therefore optimal resolution for pictures and videos is 1280x800 pixels. Note: AVI, MOV etc. is a container with video and audio in it. For example, you can have AVI file with audio encoded as mp3, video as mpeg2. This file cannot be played.
Focu C - fine calibration of focus Focu V - version of mechanical focus (should be set once more if the light source has been changed). Focu H - setting of focus hysteresis (should be set once more if the light source has been changed). Store - saves adjusted values into memory Cal Col - Calibration of white colour and gamma curve.
6. Keystones If an image is output from the Robin MiniMe at an angle, the image may be skewed. Two keystone channels (KeyStoning Vertical, KeyStoning Horizontal) adjust the image shape, aspect ratio is kept. Default DMX value for both channels is 128, it means that no keystone correction has been used. The channel " KeyStoning Vertical" turns image along X-axis. The channel " KeyStoning Horizontal" turns image along Y-axis. The keystone values can also be used to create interesting skewing effects.
7. Using external HDMI input If you want to use the external HDMI input of the fixture, you have to activate the external HDMI input via setting DMX value into range of 220-229 on the channel 6 (Special functions). If you want to return back to the internal HDMI , set DMX value into range of 210-219 on this channel. Stay in desired DMX range for at least 3 seconds. The horizontal keystone is not running while the Robin MiniMe displayes external HDMI source. 8.
Clear air Filt. This message informs you that the menu item remaining time ("R Ti ") in the menu "Information" is at 0 value. Clean air filter and reset this counter. Head Fan Err. This message informs you that the small rear fan in the fixture head is faulty and the light source has been switched off. 9.

Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended for objective lens, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used! Never use alcohol or solvents for cleaning lenses in the moving head! Use wet cloth only. 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.
