Installa tion
Martin mode: The RoboScan 812 uses 1 channel to communicate with the controller. The address may be any channel between 1 and 32. DMX mode: The RoboScan 812 may be operated in tracking or vector mode; see the DMX protocol for details. It uses 5 consecutive DMX channels in tracking mode and 7 consecutive DMX channels in vector mode. The factory default is tracking mode. The address may be any channel up to 508 within the controllers range (506 if 7 channels are used). Example: 4 RoboScans using tracking mode (5 channels) may be addressed as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
812 No. 1 812 No. 2 Address: 1 Address: 6 812 No. 3 Address: 11 812 No. 4 Address: 16
Use the following procedure to set a Martin or DMX address. 1. 2. Select an available address within the controllers range. Look up the DIP-switch setting on page 19. You can also calculate it by subtracting pin values until the total of the values equals the address. Start with the highest pin value that can be subtracted and work down until there is no remainder. The table below shows the pin values. Set the DIP-switch (3) by flipping ON the pins found in step 2.

OPERATION
Stand-Alone Operation
The RoboScan 812 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 automatically at a set speed. The DIP-switch must be set to the desired stand-alone mode before applying power. Settings for the different modes are shown below. 1. 2. With the fixture powered off, set the DIP-switch (3) for the desired mode. Pins not listed must be switched off. Apply power to the RoboScan 812 to run the sequence. Stand-Alone Modes Description

Controller Operation
Getting Starte d
The RoboScan 812 may be used with DMX-512 and Martin protocol controllers; it automatically determines which protocol is in use. Protocol auto-detection can be reactivated if necessary by switching on all ten DIP-switches and then resetting the address. 1. 2. 3. Connect the RoboScan 812 to the controller and set the address. Switch on and configure the controller. Apply power to the RoboScan. After a short reset procedure it will respond to the controller.

Controllable Effects
Lamp
After switching on the RoboScan 812, the lamp remains off until a lamp on command is sent from the controller. If using a Martin protocol controller, the lamp may also be turned off via the controller. This feature is not implemented in the DMX protocol - to turn off the lamp you must power off the fixture. It's important to note that the lamp is a cold restrike type: it must be cold before striking is possible. The lamp must cool for approximately 5 minutes before it can be turned on again.
Pan/Tilt
The moving mirror allows you to pan the beam 175 and tilt it 83. Movement speed may be adjusted with the controller fade time (DMX tracking mode and Martin controllers) or on a separate channel (DMX vector mode).
Color Wheel
The RoboScan 812 has 13 positions on the color wheel: 11 with saturated dichroic colors, open white, and blackout. The wheel can be positioned between 2 colors to split the beam. The speed of the color and gobo wheels may be adjusted with the controller fade time (DMX tracking mode and Martin controllers) or on a separate channel (DMX vector mode). Selecting color strobe causes the color wheel to change between any 2 adjacent colors or between white and black. The strobe speed is variable.
Gobos
The RoboScan 812 has 11 gobos on the gobo wheel plus open and blackout. Selecting gobo strobe causes the gobo wheel to change between any 2 adjacent gobos or between full open and black. The strobe speed is variable.
Random Sequence
The RoboScan 812 may be set to perform a preprogrammed sequence with automatic or music trigger.
Focus
Focus may be adjusted manually from 1 meter to infinity by turning the threaded lens barrel (7). Screwing the lens in increases the focus distance; screwing it out decreases the distance at which the image is focused.
