Installation

The Ambiane SP16 must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all national and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.

Always switch off power supply of the control unit before connecting or disconnecting the control unit or the LED unit.

The lower ceiling (or another structure) intended for installation of the Ambiane(s) SP16 must safely hold at least 5 times weight of the Ambiane(s) SP16 placed on it.

Prepare a circular opening in the lower ceiling. Max. thickness of the lower ceiling can be 18 mm (0.71 in).

If you install Ambiane SP16 Recessed with yoke.
Remove the top part of the yoke (11) from the unit by unscrewing two screws (12) with washers.

Fasten the top part of the yoke (11) on the ceiling or another structure by means of three openings in the yoke.

Fasten the control unit (1) on the ceiling by means of two holes in the housing of the control unit.

Install the terminal block (2) on the LED unit cable.
Install the terminal block (3) on the DMX cable and connect it to the PCB RB 3729 of the control unit (1).

Install the terminal block (4) on the supply cable connect it to the PCB RB 3729 of the control unit (1).
Install another terminal blocks on cables according to requirements of current installation.
Example of connection:

The DIP switch (6) is accessible by the aperture (5) in the cover of the control unit (1).
LED unit connection (cable LSYY 5×18 AWG)

Strip these lengths for cable connection

Primary power connection

Secondary power connection

DMX connection

0-10V connection

DMX connectors are used for 0-10V control
Primary and secondary power.
The primary power input serves for a standard power (e.g. Ambiane Power AP).
The secondary power input serves for a backup power (in case that primary power failed).
If both power inputs are under voltage, the primary power has a priority and the secondary power is disabled. In case of primary power loss, the secondary power is enabled.
If the fixture is supplied via the secondary power, the light output of the fixture is a white colour 3200K (RGBW, TW version) and its light intensity can be set by a trimmer (7).

Set the DIP switch (6) according to your operation mode. This DIP switch is accessible by aperture (5) in the cover of the control unit (1). Please see the chapter 3.1 DMX and DALI address setting and control. The fixture can be controlled by one of the following methods:
DMX 512
DALI
0-10V (PW or TD version only)
The fixture is equipped with two DMX and DALI connection blocks (on the PCB RB 3729) for easy connection to a DMX or DALI chain (In/Out method).
After connecting needed cables to the control unit, press both spring clips (8) upwards and insert the LED unit (9) into prepared hole in the lower ceiling (10). The LED unit will stay fixed in desired position by means of the two springs. Connect the terminal block on the LED unit cable to the control unit.

If you install Ambiane SP16 Recessed with yoke.
After connecting needed cables to the control unit, insert the LED unit (9) into prepared hole in the lower ceiling (10) and screw the bottom part of the yoke (13) to the top part of the yoke (11) by means of two screws (12) with washers. Connect the terminal block on the LED unit cable to the control unit.

DMX and DALI address setting and control

The DIP switch on the control PCB (RB3729) allows you to set DMX address and run a test light.

DIP 10 – if it is switched to ON=test light (the fixture lights at 3200K (for RGBW and TW version)).
DIP 11 – has to be switched to OFF position to receive DMX 512 and DALI, position ON=0-10V control.

Note: If DIP 11=OFF (fixture is controlled by DMX and DALI), the last coming command switches the fixture to the corresponding operation mode (DMX operation by a DMX command, DALI operation by a DALI command). E.g. the fixture stays in a DALI operation and last coming command is a DMX command which switches the fixture to DMX operation. Next command is a DALI command and switches the fixture to the DALI operation etc.

If you need the permanent DALI operation, you have to send a DALI command 8 to the fixture.

DMX control

The DMX start address, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. The address may be any channel from 1 to 512. DMX address can be set either by DIP switch or by RDM. DMX address set by RDM overwrites address set by DIP switch and vice versa. The green LED on PCB signals way of DMX address setting:

LED lights-DMX address is set by means of the DIP switch.
LED does not light-DMX address is set by means of RDM.

The DIP 11 has to be set to OFF position.

Example of DMX addresses:

DALI control

Addressing of the fixture has to be made by means of an external DALI controller.
If you need to start the permanent DALI control of the fixture (fixture will not respond to DMX commands), the external DALI controller has to send activating command (8=ON).
If you need to stop the permanent DALI control of the fixture, the external DALI controller has to send deactivating command (0=OFF).

0-10V control

DIP 11 has to be set in ON position. 0-10V operation has priority to DALI and DMX commands. The option is applicable for the PW and TD version of the Ambiane SP16 only.

RDM

This fixture supports RDM operation. RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DM X512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
RDM allows you to set a DMX address, select DMX mode, readout software version of the fixture etc. It is also used for fixture software update by means of the Robe Uploader.

RDM model ID for the Ambiane SP16 0x012b.
