Description of the ArcPower 384 Rack Mount1 - LCD graphic displayr2 - ANS rotary wheel3 - Enter button4 - Escape buttont5 - Cooling fans1 - Fuse holder2 - Mains input3 - DMX IN/OUT (3-pin XLR)4 - DMX input for DyNet (RJ45)5 - Control port (RS 232)6 - LED Zones 1-8 (8 x RJ45)7 - Ethernet (RJ45)8 - DMX IN/OUT(5-pin XLR)

To build a DMX chain.1. Unplug fixtures from the mains before installation.2. Connect the LED modules to the fixtures.You cannot combine RGB and RGBW modules(e.g. ArcSource 6 RGB and ArcSource 7 RGBW) on the same LEDs output.3. Connect the DMX controller to the first fixture4. Connect fixtures each other. Max. 32 fixtures may be connected on a DMX link. Terminate the DMX linkby installing a termination plug in the output of the last fixture. The termination plug is a male 3-pin/5-pinXLR plug with a 120 Ohm resistor soldered between Signal (–) and Signal (+).5. Connect fixtures to the mains6. Set desired DMX address on each fixture (see the chapter "Control board").Note: You cannot combine RGB andRGBW modules on one LED output as the current circle of the white LEDswill not be closed ( white LEDs will not lit). All modules have to be either RGB or RGBW on one LED output..7. Ethernet operationThe fixtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet network with an Art-Net communication protocol. Thecontrol software from PC (or lighting console) has to support the Art-Net protocol.The Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP. Its purpose is toallow transfer of large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.An IP address is 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 ArcPower 384 Rack Mount is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input. Use a network cable category5 (with four “twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the fixture to the network.Patch cables that connect fixtures to the hubs or LAN sockets are wired 1:1, that is, pins with thesame numbers are connected together:

1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8If 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 8-4All fixtures have to be connected to Ethernet via standard patch cables and a data switch.The option “ Ethernet” has to be selected from the “Set Ethernet Mode” menu on each fixture.Set correct IP address and the Universe for each fixture.

Ethernet Settings --- The menu provides all needed settings for an Ethernet operation.Set Ethernet Mode - use the menu to set an Ethernet functional mode:Disable Ethernet - Disables an Ethernet operation.Ethernet - control data is received to the Ethernet input of the fixture ( RJ45 socket).Each of fixtures has to be connected to Ethernet.Set IP Address - Select this menu item to set an IP address. The IP address is theInternet protocol address, uniquely identifies any node (fixture) on a network.There can‘t be 2 fixtures with the same IP address on the network!Default IP Address - a preset IP address, you can change only first number ofthe IP address (number 2 or 10).Custom IP Address - a fully editable IP address.To set the custom IP address:1. Select the „Custom IP Address” and press the ENTER button2. Use RNS wheel to adjust he first number of the IP address3. Press the ENTER button to move on the second number of theIP address4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the third and the fourth number of theIP address.If you want to return back on the previous number, press the ESC button.Set ArtNet Universe - use this menu item to set a fixture Universe. The Universe is a singleDMX 512 frame of 512 channels.10.2 Fixture informationUse this menu to read useful information about the fixture status.Power On Time --- Use the menu item to read the number of operation hours.Total Hours - the function shows the total number of the operation hours sincethe ArcPower 384 Rack Mount has been fabricated.Resettable Hours - the function shows the number of the operation hours thatthe ArcPower 384 Rack Mount has been powered on since the counter was last reset.In order to reset this counter to 0, press the ENTER button twice.Air Filters --- Regular cleaning of the air filters is very important for the fixture´s life and performance. Build-upof dust, dirt and fog fluid residues reduces the fixture´s light output and cooling ability. The two items of thismenu help you to keep cleaning period of the air filters.Set alert period - cleaning schedule for the fixture depends on the operating environment.It is therefore impossible to specify accurate cleaning interval. This function allowsyou to change the cleaning interval of the air filters. This „alert“ value is 50 hours and itis set as default. Inspect the fixture within its 50 hours of operation to see whether cleaningis necessary. If cleaning is required, clean all air filters and change the value in this menuon acceptable level. Min. level of alert period is 10 hours, max. is 300 hours.Elapsed Time - the option allows you to read the time which remains to cleaning air filters.The time period is set in the menu mentioned above.Expired time period is signalized by a negative mark at the time value and a warning icon(triangle) on the display with the following message: „Clean Air Filters“.Clean the filters and reset this menu item (by pressing the ENTER button twice whilethis menu is highlighted) to start the new time countdown.Fixture Temperatures --- Select this menu to read the temperatures of the fixture:Current - the current temperature of the fixture inside.Maximum nonresettable - the menu item shows the max. temperatures of the fixture insidesince the ArcPower 384 Rack Mounthas been fabricated.Maximum resettable - the menu item shows the maximum temperatures of the fixtureinside since the counter was last reset. In order to reset desired counter to 0,pressthe ENTER button twice.Note: The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.The temperatures can be displayed in either °C or °F units - see option „Temperature unit“ in the menu “Personality“.Measuring temperature points: Board 1 Temp. - temperature on the electronic module 1.Board 2 Temp. - temperature on the electronic module 2.18

If you lack qualification, do not attempt the updateyourselfand ask for help your ROBE distributor.Note 2: DMX address, IP address, programs 1-3 and all items in the menu „Personality“ will be set to theirdefault (factory) values.To update software in the fixture:I. Installation of the DMX Software Uploader.1. DMX Software Uploader program is available from the Anolis web site at WWW.anolis.cz.2. Make a new directory ( e.g. Anolis_Uploader) on your hard disk and download the software to it.3. Unpack the program from the archive.II.Fixture software updating.1.Determine which of your ports is available on your PC and connect it:- with the DMX input of the fixture if you using the flash cable RS232/DMX- with the USB input of the Robe Universal Interface if you using the USB cable.Disconnect the fixture from the other fixtures in a DMX chain. Turn both the computer and thefixture on.2. Switch the fixture to the updating mode:1. Use the RNS rotary wheel to find the “ Special Functions“ menu.. Press the ENTER button.3. Use the RNS rotary wheel to select the “Updating Software“ item.4. Press the ENTER button.5. Use the RNS rotary wheel to select “ Yes“ option.6. Press the ENTER button.Note: If you do not want to continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the fixtureto escape from this menu.We recommend to cancel all running programs before start the Software Uploader.3. Run the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click on the Connect button(Select COM if the serial port is used or DreamBox1 if the USB port is used).If the connection is OK, click on the “Start Uploading button“ to start uploading. It will takeseveral minutes to perform software update.If the option „Incremental Update“ is not checked, all processors will be updated (includingprocessors with the same software version).If you wish to update only later versions of processors, check the “Incremental Update box“.Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the Info Box window.When the update is finished, the line with the text “The fixture is successfully updated“ will appear inthis window and the fixture will reset with the new software.Note: In the case of an interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the fixture keeps the updating modeand you have to repeat the software update again. 21
