4. Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all
installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.
5. Working from a stable platform, clamp or fasten the fixture to the struc-
ture.
6. Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fix-
ture through/over the support and mounting bracket.
7. Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fixture to the desired angle. Turn the
swivel locks clockwise to tighten. If a swivel lock does not tighten fully,
pull the handle out, turn it counterclockwise, and retighten. Repeat as
necessary.
8. Verify that the fixture is located at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) away from the
surface to be illuminated and at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combus-
tible materials. Verify that the clearance around the fan and air vents is at
least 0.1 meters (4 in.). Verify that there are no flammable materials
nearby.

The RoboScan Pro 518 may be used with DMX and Martin protocol controllers. The out-
puts on these controllers are different. DMX controllers usually have 5-pin XLR outputs
and are wired with pin 2 cold (-) and pin 3 hot (+). Martin-standard controllers have 3-pin
XLR outputs wired with pin 2 hot (+) and pin 3 cold (-). The Pro 518’s XLR input is config-
ured for the Martin standard. When connecting a RoboScan Pro 518 to any DMX-standard
device, you must swap the hot and cold signals with a phase reversing cable.
1. Connect the controller’s data output to the RoboScan Pro 518’s input. If using
a Martin-standard controller, use a direct 3-pin to 3-pin cable such as the one
included. If using a DMX controller, use a phase reversing cable, either 3-pin
to 3-pin, or 5-pin to 3-pin, depending on the output of the controller.
2. Continue the link: connect the output of the fixture closest to the control-
ler to the input of the next fixture. Use a direct cable when connecting
same-standard fixtures. Use a phase reversing cable only when connect-
ing a DMX-standard fixture to a Martin fixture with pin 2 hot. Up to 32 fix-
tures may be connected on a serial link.
3. Insert a male 120
Ω
XLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture
on the link. The termination plug is simply a 3-pin male XLR plug with a
120
Ω
resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3. The termination plug is
required for error-free communication.

When using the RoboScan Pro 518 with a controller, you must set the DIP-switch to the
start channel, also known as the address, which is the first channel the controller uses to
send instructions to the RoboScan Pro 518.
