3. Installation
Fixtures must be installed by a qualied 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 xture 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.
Install a suitable plug on the power cord (if it is needed), note that the cores in the power cord are coloured
according to the following table. The earth has to be connected!
If you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician.
Core (EU) Core (US) Connection Plug Terminal Marking
Brown Black Live L
Light blue White Neutral N
Yellow/Green Green Earth
This device falls under class one and must be earthed (grounded)!
Design of the Robin MiniMe allows to connect several xtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy
chain using power input and throughput connectors. Needed daisy chain cords are stated in the chapter
“Technical specications “
The max. number of connected xtures depends on the AC mains power voltage:
19 xtures at power supply= 230V
16 xtures at power supply= 208V
10 xtures at power supply= 120V
Do not overload the supply line and the connecting leads.
Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualied staff!

3.2 Rigging the xture
A structure intended for installation of the xture (s) must safely hold weight of the xture(s) placed on it. The
structure has to be certicated to the purpose.
The xture (xtures) must be installed in accordance with national and local electrical and construction codes
and regulation.
For overhead installation, the xture must be always secured with a safety wire
When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture 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 rst 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 a skilled
person once a year.
Allow the xture 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 calculating working
load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation materials and the
projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but use a help of professional
companies.
CAUTION: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety
of a possible installation, do not install the xture!
The xture has to be installed out of the reach of public.
The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp to rig the xture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the
structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The xture can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged on a truss without altering its operation characte-
ristics .
For securing a xture to the truss install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture.
Use only safety wire with screw-on carabine. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point and around
the truss as shown on the picture.

When installing xtures side-by-side, avoid illuminating one xture 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 xture is placed near the oor in front of the screen.
2. Front Ceiling - the xture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) in front of the screen.
Set Ceiling Projection in the menu Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Ceil P"--->"On")
3. Rear Table - the xture is placed near the oor behind the screen. Set Rear Projection in the menu
Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Rear P"--->"On")
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
4. Rear Ceiling - the xture is suspended upside-down from the ceiling (truss) behind the screen.
Set Rear Projection in the menu Personality ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Ceil P"--->"On") and
Ceiling Projection ("Pers--->"LED Engi" --->"Rear P"--->"On")
Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
When determining the position of the xture and projection screen, you will need to account for the projected
image size, which is directly proportional to the projection distance.
9
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 xture before you permanently install it.
There is a chart of throw distance ratio of 3.5 : 1 to assist you in determining the ideal location for your
xture.

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). Check, that the stabiliza-
tion screw (4) is screwed into mounting bracket.
Note The screws are not supplied with the mounting bracket, their length, diameter and a type of screws de-
pends on conditions of given installation.
2. Insert a pivot (5) into the mounting point in the xture base (6) and turn it a full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock.
Instal the second pivot.
3. Insert the xture with both pivots (5) into circular slots under securing blades (8) and than move the xture
towards the stabilization screw (4) until the pivots (5) reach the rectangular slots (7) and both securing blades
(8) snap into groove in the pivots.
