Page 7

Installing color filters and gobos 7

Installing color filters and gobos

Warning! Read the “Safety Information” section starting on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Exterior 400 Image Projector.

Since many customers prefer to choose color filters and gobos themselves or use custom-made items, the Exterior 400 Image Projector is supplied without filters and gobos. A range of dichroic color filters and gobos for the Exterior 400 Image Projector is available from Martin and can be ordered separately. If you wish to use custom-made optical components, please consult your Martin supplier. Custom-made components must meet the same specifications as Martin items, or their use will invalidate the product warranty.

It is easiest to install filters and gobos before the fixture is physically installed. To install color filters and gobos, you must remove the front cover and effects module for access.

Filter and gobo care

Important! Filters and gobos are sensitive components that are exposed to extreme cond itions. Avoid contaminating them with dirt and grease, especially from your fingers, and follow these precautions:

1. Use clean, dry, lint-free gloves when handling optical parts such as filters and gobos.

2. To give maximum protection from heat, install optical components with the shiny side facing the light

source and the darker side facing away from the light source.

3. Protect optical parts from scratches. Avoid touching components together: the sharp edge of one item

can scratch another.

4. Do not place an optical components with its coated side face-down on any surface.

5. If cleaning is necessary, use cotton swabs or lens cleaning tissues moistened with 99% isopropyl

alcohol or photographic quality lens cleaning fluid. Do not use standard domestic tissues, as these can cause micro-scratches and dust. Wipe surfaces gently with a slow circular motion from center to edge. Remove any stuck particles with a cotton swab moistened with lens cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub the surface: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Rinse off any residues with distilled water, then dry components with low-pressure compressed air or a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.

6. Store all optical components in a dust-free environment with approx. 50% humidity.

Access to the effects module

To access the effects module:

1. Make sure that power cannot be applied to the fixture during installation work. If the fixture has been in

use, allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes.

2. Tilt the fixture back and rest it on a piece of cloth, for example, so that it is held securely and the front

cover is facing upwards.

3. See Figure 1. Remove the eight Allen screws A that hold the front cover B, then remove the front cover

B and front cover seal C from the fixture housing F.

4. Using a T-bar or long Allen key, reach down into the housing and remove the four effects module

retaining screws D.

5. Lift the effects module up carefully. It is connected to the rest of the fixture by three multi-connectors.

Each connector has a different number of pins, so it is impossible to get them mixed up. Disconnect the multi-connectors, then lift the effects module out of the fixture and place the module gently on a clean, flat surface. You can now install color filters and rotating gobos.

Installing color filters

To install a filter in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module:

1. See Figure 2. Refer to the diagram for filter position numbers. The color wheel is shown from the rear

(the side facing the back of the effects module, away from the front cover). It will help you identify filter positions if you note the position of the small magnet A on the color wheel opposite the open slot.

2. If a filter has already been installed, push it away from the color wheel towards the gobo wheel slightly to

release it, then grasp it by the edges and remove it. If your fingers are too large, protect the glass with a piece of paper that has been folded several times and grasp the filter with needle-nose pliers.

3. To install a filter, push the filter B in between the color wheel C and the gobo wheel D and slide it under

the retention spring in the color wheel until it snaps into place on the color wheel and the raised lug E in the filterholder engages in its cutout F.

Installing gobos

Most gobos must be installed facing in a certain direction in order to avoid heat damage. Follow the gobo orientation guidelines given in Figure 3. Consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type.

Coated Glass Gobos

Focus is easiest to maintain if all coated gobos in a fixture are installed with their coatings as close as possible to the same plane of focus. However, the first priority is normally to ensure that the more reflective side faces towards the LEDs.

More reflective side towards LEDs

To minimize the risk of gobo overheating and damage, turn the more reflective side of a coated gobo towards the LEDs.

Less reflective side away from LEDs

The less reflective side of a coated gobo will absorb less heat if it faces away from the LEDs.

To determine which side of a gobo is coated, hold an object up to it. On the uncoated side, there is a space between the object and its reflection and the edge of the gobo can be seen when looking through the glass.

Textured Glass Gobos

Smooth side towards LEDs Textured side away from LEDs

Textured glass gobos in the Exterior 400 Image Projector give the best focus results with the smooth side towards the LEDs. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier.

Gobo installation

Wear clean, lint-free cotton gloves while handling optical parts.

To install a rotating gobo in the Exterior 400 Image Projector effects module:

1. See Figure 4. Refer to the diagram for gobo position numbers. The gobo wheel is shown from the front

(the side facing the front of the effects module, towards the front cover). It will help you identify gobo positions if you note the position of the small magnet A on the gobo wheel opposite the open slot. Rotate the gobo wheel if necessary for access to the different gobo positions.

2. If a gobo has already been installed, lift it away from the gobo wheel slightly to release it from its cutout

in the gobo wheel, then hold it by the edges and slide it outwards.

3. To insert a gobo, slide the goboholder B onto the gobo wheel C, working it in so that the gobo retaining

clips D engage in the slot around the edge of the goboholder. If necessary, lever the clips away from the wheel slightly with a small screwdriver or similar tool. Push the goboholder in until it snaps into place in its cutout in the gobo wheel.

Replacing gobos in goboholders

Gobos in rotating goboholders are interchangeable and can be replaced with gobos either supplied or specifically approved by Martin.

See Figure 5. Gobos are held in rotating holders by a retention spring. Note that the retention spring can only be used with gobos maximum 3 mm thick. Thicker gobos can be glued to the holder with a UV adhesive or Loctite 330 Multibond with Activator.

Important! A gobo can fall out of its holder if the spring is inserted the wrong

way round.

To replace a gobo:

1. Put on clean, lint-free gloves to protect your fingers and to avoid

contaminating optical components with grease and dirt.

2. Remove the goboholder from the gobo wheel as described in the

previous section.

3. With a small screwdriver or similar, unhook the end of the gobo spring

furthest from the gobo and pull out the spring. Drop the gobo out of the holder.

4. With reference to Figure 3 on page 10, insert the new gobo in the holder with the side that must face

towards the LEDs facing upwards, towards the spring.

5. Insert the spring with the narrow end against the gobo, as shown in Figure 5. To identify the narrow end,

press the spring flat: the narrow end is on the inside. Push the end of the spring in under the lip of the holder.

6. Check that the gobo is seated flush against the holder. Press the spring as flat as possible against the

back of the gobo.

7. Install the goboholder in the gobo wheel as described in the previous section.

Reinstallation after accessing the effects module

To reinstall the effects module and front cover:

1. Lower the effects module into position in the housing. Note the number of pins in the multi-connectors to

the module and reconnect them.

2. See Figure 1 on page 8. Using a T-bar or long Allen key, reinstall the four effects module retaining

screws D.

3. Check the front cover seal C. If it is not in perfect condition, it must be replaced with a new item from

Martin™ to maintain the fixture’s IP65 rating.

4. Place the front cover B with its seal C in position on the front of the fixture housing F and insert the eight

Allen screws A. Tighten the screws until they are finger-tight only.

5. Using a torque driver, cross-tighten the screws gradually – tightening all screws opposite each other,

working around the cover in at least three stages – to a torque of 8 Nm (5.9 ft.-lbs.). Do not over-tighten, or the front glass may break.

6. You can now either apply power or proceed with physical installation.

Warning! All fasteners used to mount the Exterior 400 Image Projector must be corrosion-resistant and strong enough to mount the fixture safely. The washers supplied with the fixture must be installed directly under the fasteners’ heads when anchoring the yoke base to the installatio n surface.

The yoke must be fastened to the installation surface using minimum three fasteners. If there is a danger that the fixture may cause injury or damage if it falls, a securely anchored safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture must be looped through one of the holes in the yoke base marked A, B or C in Figure 6 on page 14.

The mounting yoke allows the fixture to be manually panned (i.e. rotated horizontally) and tilted for beam aiming adjustment.

The mounting yoke base must be safely anchored to a horizontal surface. The number and type of fasteners used will depend on the installation, but use at least three high-strength corrosion-resistant

Page 14

14 Exterior 400 Image Projector user manual

fasteners (recommended minimum properties: stainless steel A4-70 grade according to ISO 3506 or steel grade 8.8 according to ISO 898-1). Any nuts used must be self-locking. Washers must be installed between the head of each fastener and the yoke base. Suitable washers are supplied with the fixture.

See Figure 6. To mount the fixture:

1. Attach a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture to a secure anchoring point such as an

eyebolt in the installation surface and loop it through one of the holes in the yoke base shown as A, B or C in Figure 6.

2. Fasten the yoke base to the mounting surface using a 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter bolt with a

washer in the center hole A.

3. Then either use two bolts with 12 mm (1/2 inch) shaft diameter and washers passing through holes B or

use two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter and washers passing through slots C to secure the fixture. Installing bolts through slots C will give approximately 90° of pan adjustment.

If additional bolts are required to mount the fixture safely, install bolts through holes B and slots C.

Tilt adjustment

Tilt-lock screws at either side of the mounting yoke allow adjustment of vertical beam aiming. It is possible to slide the fixture in the yoke once the tilt-lock screws are loosened. This allows some extra clearance and adjustment.

Important! Do not slide the fixture in the yoke so far that the yoke comes into contact with one of the silicone

seals between the aluminum elements in the housing, as this may make it impossible to achieve a waterproof seal.

Tilt adjustment can be carried out with the fixture powered on. To adjust the tilt:

1. Put on heat-resistant gloves if the fixture is or has recently been powered on.

2. See Figure 7. Loosen, but do not remove, the tilt-lock screws.

3. Tilt the fixture to the desired angle and slide it backwards or forwards in the yoke until its weight is

evenly distributed.

AC mains power

Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Exterior 400 Image Projector.

Warning! Electrical installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only.

See Figure 8 on page 15 for a schematic diagram of cable layout. If you require help in planning or dimensioning the power distribution system, please contact your Martin supplier for assistance.

If there is a break or cut at any point in a cable (for example at a connection point), and if this is exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cable due to the vacuum effect of temperature fluctuations during operation. Ensure that the fixture is protected from the entry of water via the power cable by using IP65-rated connectors or junction boxes, or by protecting connectors with weatherproof housings.

The Exterior 400 Image Projector is supplied in EU and US models. Both models accept AC power at 100-240 V nominal, 50 or 60 Hz. Do not connect to power at any other voltage or frequency.

Power is applied to the Exterior 400 Image Projector as soon as it is connected to power. Provide a means to disconnect from power or shut down power to fixtures that is easily accessible and is located close to the fixtures.

Connecting to power

The fixture is supplied with a power cable tail installed ready for connection to a single-phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) AC mains power distribution system at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Terminal blocks or suitable connection devices must be provided by the installer.

Danger! Lock out power to the entire installation before working on ca b le s and c onn e ctions. Warning! If you have any other type of distribution system than the one listed above, contact Martin

for assistance. Warning! Make sure that cable connections are totally protected from water in approved enclosures

such as sealed junction boxes or sealed cable connectors, or moisture may be drawn up the inside of the cable by the vacuum effect that results from heating and cooling during operation. Follow the safety precautions and instructions provided by the enclosure supplier.

Warning! If the supplied power cable is unsuitable for any reason, contact your Martin supplier for replacement. Exterior 400 Image Projector power and data cables may be installed or replaced only by Martin or its authorized service agents.

To connect to a single-phase 3-wire (live, neutral, ground/earth) power system:

1. Lock out power to the installation.

2. Prepare a suitable junction box or sealed cable connector.

3. The power cable color coding for US and EU models is given in Table 1. Connect the conductors in the

power cable to the distribution circuit as follows:

- Connect the green wire (US models) or yellow/green wire (EU models) to ground (earth)

- Connect the white wire (US models) or blue wire (EU models) to neutral

- Connect the black wire (US models) or brown wire (EU models) to live.

4. Check that cable connection enclosures are sealed, check that all installation work is completed, and

carry out appropriate tests and safety checks before applying power.

Power plug (not North America)

In regions outside North America, legislation or building codes may allow the installation of a power plug that is suitable for local AC mains power outlets and approved for the installation environment on the supplied power cable. If you choose to do this, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 5 A minimum, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 on page 16 shows some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician. Ensure that all connections are protected from water, moisture, dirt, etc.

Control data link

Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures must be connected via a control data link for DMX controller or synchronized (master/slave) operation.The following considerations must be taken into account when planning the data link:

• RS-485 data cable designed for exterior use is required for outdoor installations. RS-485 cable has low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 Ohms. It is electrically shielded and has at least 1 twisted pair of conductors. The minimum recommended wire size is 0.25 mm

(24 AWG) for runs up to

300 meters (1000 ft.) and 0.32 mm

(22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft). CAT 5 network cable designed for direct burial can be used in outdoor installations, but you are recommended to run it inside conduit.

• The maximum permitted control data cable length before a control signal amplifier is required is 500 meters (1640 ft.).

• Fixtures must be ‘daisy-chained’, i.e. the data cable must be connected in one single chain of fixtures as shown in Figure 8 on page 15.

• Each chain may connect a maximum of 32 fixtures. After this the signal must be amplified.

• An optically isolated amplifier-splitter such as the Martin DMX 5.3 Splitter™ (P/N 90758140) or Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter™ (P/N 90758150) must be used to:

- extend a link beyond 500 meters (1640 ft.)

- extend the link to include a further maximum 32 fixtures, or

- branch the link into further single chains, each containing 32 fixtures. The Martin Splitters mentioned above allow a link to be branched into five new chains.

• Each chain on the link must be terminated by placing a 120 ohm resistor (available from Martin, P/N 04150308) across the data hot (+) and cold (-) conductors of the last fixture on the chain.

• Long parallel runs of AC power and control data cables may cause interference on the data link and must be avoided. Even if not required by law, use separate conduits for power and data cables.

• One DMX universe has 512 DMX control channels available. If individual control of the fixtures in an installation is required, each fixture must be given its own channels until the limit of 512 is reached. At this point, a new DMX universe must be created before more fixtures can be added.

• An Exterior 400 Image Projector requires nine DMX channels. The total number of Exterior 400 Image Projectors that can be linked in one DMX universe will therefore be 512 / 9 = 56 (note that an amplifier-splitter must be used each time the limit of 32 devices on one branch is reached).

Connection pinouts

XLR connection

XLR connectors are suitable if DMX cable is used for the data link. XLR pin numbers are normally marked on connectors. Connectors must be wired using the standard DMX/RDM pin-out:

• Pin 1: Cable shield

• Pin 2: DMX/RDM Data 1 - (cold)

• Pin 3: DMX/RDM Data 1 + (hot)

Pins 4 and 5 on 5-pin XLR connectors are not used by DMX or RDM signals but are available for special Data 2 connections. If used, they must be wired as follows:

• Pin 4: Data 2 - (cold)

• Pin 5: Data 2 + (hot)

To avoid ground/earth loop interference, ensure that the DMX cable shield does not come into contact with the shell or body of XLR connectors.

RJ-45 connection

RJ-45 connectors are suitable if CAT 5 cable is used for the data link. RJ-45 cable connector pins are numbered from the left looking at the face of the connector with the locking clip on top (see Figure 9). Connectors must be wired according to the 568-B system using the standard RJ-45 pin-out for DMX applications:

• Pin 1 (White/orange): DMX/RDM data hot (+)

• Pin 2 (Orange): DMX/RDM data cold (-)

Page 19

Control data link 19

• Pins 7 (White/brown) and 8 (Brown): Common

Pins 3 and 6 are available for Data 2 connections. If used, they must be wired as follows:

• Pin 3 (White/green): Available for Data 2 hot (+)

• Pin 6 (Green): Available for Data 2 cold (-)

Pins 4 and 5 are not used in currently available lighting control systems but can be wired as follows:

• Pin 4 (Blue)

• Pin 5 (White/blue)

Connecting the data link

Danger! Lock out power to the entire installation before working on ca b le s and c onn e ctions. Warning! Make sure that cable connections are totally protected from water in approved enclosures

The fixture is supplied with a 1.8 meter (5.9 ft.) data cable tail for data connection. The cable contains both input and output conductors that are identified as follows:

• 1 x shield = data input and output common

• 2 x white wires = data input and output hot (+)

• 1 x green wire = data input cold (-)

• 1 x brown wire = data output cold (-)

To connect a fixture to the data link:

1. Connect the conductors in the fixture’s cable tail to the data circuit respecting the above color code. If

required, install input and output connectors on the data cable respecting the pinouts described in “Connection pinouts” on page 18. Standard procedure is to use a male connector on a fixture’s cable tail for data input and a female connector for data through/output. Do not connect the shield conductor to ground (earth) or allow it to come into contact with a connector shell, as this may cause interference.

2. Check that cable connection enclosures are sealed, check that all installation work is completed, and

carry out appropriate tests and safety checks before applying power.

Effects

This section describes the effects available in the Exterior 400 Image Projector. Details of controlling effects via DMX are given in “DMX protocol” on page 34. Details of programming effects in stand-alone operation are given in “Stand-alone operation” on page 25.

Electronic shutter effect

The electronic shutter effect uses the LEDs to provide instant open and blackout as well as variable speed regular and random strobe, and opening/closing pulse and sinewave intensity modulation effects.

Electronic dimming

The LEDs can be dimmed smoothly from 100% to zero. Note that four different dimming curves can be selected using the Martin MUM™ application (see “Dimming curve options” on page 23) or via DMX on the fixture control channel 9.

Color wheel

The color wheel can be scrolled continuously (giving split colors), scrolled in steps (giving full colors only) set to continuous rotation or set to random color chases (auto-trig).

Rotating gobo wheel

Any of the six rotating gobos can be selected at an indexed angle, rotated, or shaken from side to side at an indexed angle or while rotating. The entire gobo wheel can also be scrolled continuously.

Iris

The motorized iris can be opened or closed smoothly, with pulse effects also available.

Focus

The motorized focus system can be varied from infinity to approximately 2 meters (6.4 feet).

Page 21

Fixture setup 21

Fixture setup

You can set up Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures for DMX control and/or set up stand-alone operation using the Martin MUM™ Windows application. MUM lets you communicate with one fixture at a time

You can also set up fixtures for DMX control using an RDM (Remote Device Management) compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M1™ console or the Martin MPC™ WIndows application. An RDM-compliant DMX controller connected to the data link lets you set up all the fixtures on the link.

Setting up using MUM

The Martin MUM™ (Multi-Utility Manager) application allows you to program and configure Martin Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures from a laptop PC and features an intuitive GUI (graphic user interface).

Tip! Using MUM, you can connect to and set up one fixture at a time. It is therefore most convenient if you set up and program the fixture before it is installed.

Refer to the MUM user manual for instructions on installing and starting the MUM application.

Connecting a PC with MUM

To connect a PC running MUM to an Exterior 400 Image Projector:

1. Obtain the Martin MUM application, a Martin DABS 1 interface box and interface cables. These are

available as a set, P/N 90758090, from Martin. If your version of MUM does not cover the Exterior 400 Image Projector, download the ‘Martin DMX Tools’ software package from the Martin website at www.martin.com. This package includes the latest version of MUM that covers the Exterior 400 Image Projector. The download is free of charge.

2. Connect the DABS 1 to your PC using the supplied USB cable.

3. Connect the DABS 1’s XLR output to the Exterior 400 Image Projector via the data link. Note that you

may only connect to one fixture at a time.

4. Apply power to the fixture and start the MUM application. The application will automatically detect the

fixture if it is powered on and correctly connected. It will also retrieve and display information and current settings from the fixture.

Configuring a fixture with MUM

Setting the clock

Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures have a battery-operated 24-hour clock that is used to start and stop stand-alone operation.

To set the clock:

1. Click on the Fixture Info button in MUM:

2. Using the Fixture real-time clock spin buttons, set the fixture to the current time (expressed in the

24-hour clock in hours and minutes) and date. The time will be updated in the fixture in real time.

DMX address and other fixture settings

If individual control of each Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures is required, each fixture must be set up to receive instructions from the DMX controller on a group of DMX channels that are not used by any other device in its DMX universe. The DMX address, also known as the control address or start channel, is the first of these channels. Each fixture uses this channel and the channels immediately above it to receive instructions.

Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures use nine DMX channels. If a fixture’s DMX address is set to 1, it will use channels 1 - 9. Channel 10 will be available as the DMX address for the next fixture, which can use channels 10 - 18, and so on.

If two or more identical fixtures are set up with the same DMX address and in the same DMX mode, they will receive the same instructions and behave identically. Setting up identical fixtures with the same address is a good tool for troubleshooting unexpected behavior and an easy way to achieve synchronized action.

Figure 11: Fixture info window

Page 23

Fixture setup 23

Setting DMX Addresses

To set a DMX address using MUM, click on the Fixture settings button and use the DMX Address spin buttons to set the fixture’s DMX address. The DMX address will be updated in the fixture in real time.

DMX reset

Three settings are available in DMX Reset:

• On – The fixture will accept a reset command sent via DMX on channel 9 (the “Fixture control settings” channel: see page 35). This can be a useful ‘escape route’ if you have had problems programming the fixture correctly or a minor software problem has occurred.

• Off – Resetting via DMX is disabled to prevent accidental resets.

• 5 Sec – A reset command sent on DMX channel 9 must be sent for five seconds to reset the fixture.

Dimming curve options

The Dimming Curve setting provides four dimming options (see Figure 13):

• Linear – Optically linear: the increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased.

• Square Law – Light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.

• Inverse Square Law – Light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.

• S-Curve – Light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.

Raw and calibrated modes

The Output Mode setting lets you set the fixture to raw or calibrated output:

• Raw – Maximum LED light output is available but intensity may differ very slightly between fixtures

• Calibrated – LED light output is limited very slightly to ensure that intensity is the same in different fixtures.

Setting up via RDM

The Exterior 400 Image Projector is compatible with RDM (Remote Device Management). Using an RDM-compliant DMX controller such as the Martin M-PC™ Windows application, you can communicate with all the fixtures on a data link via RDM without needing to connect to each fixture individually. You can set the DMX addresses of all the fixtures on the link, carry out basic configuration and retrieve basic fixture data.

To use Martin M-PC, connect a PC running this application to the data link via the Martin USB Duo™ USB/DMX interface box. Before you can communicate with fixtures, you will need to send a Scan command from M-PC to detect the devices on the data link.

Page 25

Operation 25

Operation

Exterior 400 Image Projector fixtures can be operated using a DMX controller or programmed to run a stand-alone light show that does not require DMX control.

If a fixture has been set up to run stand-alone operation, it will follow its program according to its programmed times as soon as powered is applied, unless it receives DMX commands. DMX commands sent to a fixture override its stand-alone program.

Ambient temperatures

The Exterior 400 Image Projector can be operated at ambient temperatures from -30° C (-22° F) minimum to 45° C (113° F) maximum.

Important! If the ambient temperature falls – or is forecast to fall – below 0° C (32° F), leave the Exterior 400 Image Projector permanently powered on, even if LEDs are dimmed to zero. This will provide heat and help protect circuits and components from the effects of low temperature. Starting a fixture that is below 0° C (32° F) may cause damage to moving parts that is not covered by the product warranty.

DMX control

The industry-standard DMX system allows remote control of the Exterior 400 Image Projector over the DMX data link using a DMX controller or a PC running DMX controller software. such as the Martin M-PC™ application. If Luminaires have been set up with individual DMX addresses, they can be controlled individually.

The section “DMX protocol” on page 34 gives details of the control options available using DMX.

Stand-alone operation

In stand-alone operation, the fixture displays effects that change at variable intervals and speeds, either as soon as power is applied or for one or two periods during a 24-hour period. All parameters are programmable. The term stand-alone means that the Exterior 400 Image Projector is not connected to a control device, but is pre-programmed with a sequence of up to 100 scenes that play continuously in a loop.

Page 26

26 Exterior 400 Image Projector user manual

Configuring stand-alone settings

First, the fixture needs to be configured to know if and when to activate a stand-alone program. Connect a PC running the Martin MUM™ application as described in "Connecting a PC with MUM" on page 21, and click on the Stand-alone settings button (see Figure 14).

Stand-alone operation can be set to either:

• start automatically as soon as power is applied, or

• respond to a timer trigger that activates operation for one or two periods in a 24 hour period.

Enabling stand-alone operation

To enable stand-alone operation, set Stand-alone operation to Enabled.

Starting automatically

To set stand-alone operation to start automatically, set Auto program to On. The fixture will now start stand-alone operation automatically as soon as power is applied and no DMX signal is being received.

Setting a timer trigger

To set a timer trigger:

1. Make sure the correct time has been set on the luminaire’s built-in clock (see "Setting the clock" on page

22).

2. Select None, Timer 1, Timer 2 or Both Timers in the Enable Timers box.

3. Use the Start Time and End Time spin buttons to set a period of stand-alone operation on the selected

timer(s).

Figure 14: Stand-alone settings window

Page 27

Operation 27

Programming stand-alone operation

About scenes

A stand-alone light show consists of scenes. Each scene is a particular lighting effect with predetermined color, intensity and duration. Up to 100 scenes can be programmed into the Exterior 400 Image Projector’s program memory.

Each scene has a dynamic part – the fade – during which effects move to the scene’s programmed positions, and a static part – the wait – where effects do not change.

The duration of the fade and wait is programmed individually for each scene. The fade time may be 0 - 120 seconds; the wait time may be 1 second to 12 hours. The total time it takes a scene to execute is the sum of the fade and wait times.

Programming scenes

To program a scene:

1. See Figure 16. Click on the Stand-alone program button.

2. In the Gobo section, clicking on a number to select a gobo slot and move the Rotate fader to select

rotation direction and speed.

3. In the Intensity section, move the fader to the desired output intensity.

4. In the Focus section, move the fader to adjust focus.

5. Select a color filter slot n the color filter section (arrowed). 0 is the open position (no color filter).

6. The Iris and Shutter and Strobe options available match those listed in the “DMX protocol” section

starting on page 34.

7. The Effect Macros are pre-programmed combinations of the fixture’s effects that give immediate

access to different types of action. Setting the same Effect Macros in multiple fixtures can help you make sure that scenes are the same in those fixtures.

8. Select a wait time and a fade time for the scene.

Scene management

Once you have specified values for the effects and fade and wait times for the scene, you can store and manage scenes using the commands available at the bottom of the Stand-alone program window (see Figure 16):

When the program is run by applying the Run program command, scenes execute in a continuous, ascending loop.

Synchronizing stand-alone operation

If you are running multiple fixtures on a data link, you can synchronize action so that all fixtures start their programmed shows and start fading to the next scene at the same time.

Setting master and slave fixtures

In synchronized operation, one fixture is set as the master and the others are set as slaves. Each fixture must be programmed with its own show. When the master fades to the next scene or starts its show from the beginning again, it tells each slave fixture to fade to its next scene or start its show again. In other words, each slave fixture will run its show repeatedly in a cycle, changing scene when prompted to by the master, until the master finishes its own show and signals that all fixtures should start from the first scene once again.

Before running synchronized operation, you must set fixtures to one of the following in the Synchronized drop-down dialog box (see Figure 14):

• Single Fixture – Operates in stand-alone mode independently of other fixtures

• Master – Sends trigger signals to other fixtures, or

• Synchronized – Sets fixture as a ‘slave’ that receives trigger signals from a master fixture.

No more than one fixture may be the master. Any fixture on the link, regardless of its position, may be the master. All other fixtures must be set as slaves.

Stand-alone programming tips

If you want to keep things as simple as possible when programming synchronized operation, ensure that:

1. Every fixture has the same number of scenes.

2. Scene times are a few seconds longer on the master fixture than on slave fixtures (this will ensure that

slave fixtures always have time to finish scenes before the master tells them to start the next scene).

It is important to note that the only commands transmitted by the master are scene change and show start commands. No data about the appearance of the scene is transmitted between fixtures.

Store scene Save settings in the current scene. Add scene Save settings in a new scene at the end of the current sequence of

scenes.

Insert scene Save settings in a new scene before the current scene. Tip: Think of

the Add and Insert commands as Save commands, to be used as the last step after programming all effects.

Delete scene Remove the current scene from memory. Scenes after the deleted

scene are renumbered.

Next scene Step to the next scene. Previous

Step to the previous scene.

Delete all Remove all scenes from the fixture’s memory. Run program Run the scenes in the programmed light show.

Page 29

Operation 29

If you are programming a group of fixtures to perform the same scenes with synchronized master/slave triggering, we recommend that you:

1. Use MUM to program a show

on one slave fixture

2. Download and save this

fixture’s memory (program and settings) to your PC using MUM’s Files menu (see Figure 17), and then

3. Upload the program and

settings to each subsequent fixture that you connect to.

For a more detailed explanation of synchronized operation and how advanced effects can be created by programming fixtures with a different number of scenes, see the next section.

Synchronized stand-alone operation: detailed description

Note: This section gives advanced information about stand-alone synchronized operation. You only need

to read it if you require help with problem diagnosis or if you want to program advanced synchronized light shows.

The principles in stand-alone synchronized operation are as follows:

1. A scene contains a fade section, followed by a wait section

2. Each fixture can be individually programmed with up to 100 scenes, and each scene can have its own

individual fade and wait times.

3. Scenes are numbered from 0 to 99.

4. In synchronized operation, one master fixture issues commands to the other slave fixtures to “go to

scene xx”, where xx is the scene number that the master will execute next.

5. If a slave has fewer scenes than the master, it will derive which scene to go to by dividing the number of

the scene it has been commanded to go to (scene 5, for example) by the total number of scenes that the slave fixture has (4, for example) in whole numbers (no decimal places). In this example 5 divided by 4 results in 1, with 1 remainder. This remainder will be the number of the scene that the slave fixture starts

- scene 1. Generally though, when a Slave fixture reaches its own last scene before the Master fixture, a “go to scene xx” message will result in the first scene being played.

6. If a slave has more scenes than the master calls, the last scenes in the slave will never be executed, as

is the case with scene S4 in the following example.

7. In synchronized operation, the wait time is determined by the master. Every slave fixture fades and

waits at its own rate and then remains in the “wait” state until it receives a “start scene xx” command from the master.

8. A slave fixture will not listen for the next message from the master fixture before it has finished its

current scene. This may result in a slave skipping a scene if the slave has a longer scene time than the master. Note that in the following example, the scenes in the slave run out of their programmed

qualified professionals only. Any service procedures not described in this section may be carrie d out only by the Martin Service organization or its authorized agents.

Important! The Exterior 400 Image Projector requires occasional service and maintenance to maintain reliable operation and protect the investment it represents. It also requires a cleaning schedule that is appropriate for the environment it is used in. Excessive dirt and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the produc t wa rra nt y.

As with electronic components in general, Exterior 400 Image Projector fixture PCBs are sensitive to ESD (electrostatic discharge). Take precautions to avoid ESD damage during service.

It is Martin policy to use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical components in all lighting fixtures are subject to wear and tear over the life of the fixture, resulting in gradual changes in color rendition, for example. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions, maintenance and environment, so it is impossible to specify precise lifetimes for optical components. However, you will eventually need to replace LEDs if their characteristics are affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very precise optical and color parameters.

Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust and dirt degrades the fixture’s light output and cooling ability.

Cleaning schedules will vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the Exterior 400 Image Projector. Inspect fixtures within their first few weeks of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.

Do not use products that contain solvents, abrasives or caustic agents for cleaning, as they can cause surface damage to the fixture.

Warning! Do not use a high-pressure water jet for clea ning. Take care not to damage seals, cables and cable glands during cleaning.

The Exterior 400 Image Projector’s aluminum housing and front glass can be cleaned with a mild detergent such as a car wash shampoo solution. To clean the housing and front glass:

1. Isolate the fixture from AC power and allow the fixture to cool for 30 minutes.

2. Visually check that the silicone seals between joints in the housing are in good condition. If any seal

shows signs of damage or loss of water resistance, stop cleaning the fixture and contact a Martin authorized service technician for seal replacement.

3. If seals are in good condition, rinse off loose dirt with a hosepipe or low-pressure water spray. Do not

spray water into the heat exchanger.

4. Wash the aluminum housing and front glass using warm water with a little mild detergent and a soft

brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

5. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.

Fixture readouts in MUM

Various types of data can be displayed by connecting a PC as described in "Connecting a PC with MUM" on page 21 and clicking on the Monitor button:

PCB 24V Voltage displays the current voltage in the 24 volt circuits on the main PCB (this data is for service purposes).

Temperature readouts display the current main PCB temperature, current effects temperature, the current temperature on the LED circuit board that gives the highest reading, and the current ambient temperature.

Fan readouts display the current internal and external cooling fan speeds in RPM (revolutions per minute).

Software installation

It may be necessary to upload new software (i.e. firmware) to an Exterior 400 Image Projector fixture if you believe that the product has a software-related fault or if you want to update to a newer version. Software updates are available from the Martin website (http://www.martin.com) and can be installed via the DMX data link with the following items:

• The Martin Uploader application, version 5.0 or later, downloadable free of charge from the Support area of the Martin website.

• The fixture’s main CPU software update file, downloadable free of charge from the Support area of the Martin website (this file can be downloaded automatically from within the Martin Uploader application)

Figure 18: Fixture Monitor data

Page 33

Service and maintenance 33

• A Martin DABS 1™ PC/fixture hardware interface box (supplied in a package with the Martin MUM™ application) and a Windows PC.

Installing software

1. Connect the uploader hardware to a Exterior 400 Image Projector fixture’s data input connector. The

software will be uploaded to that fixture and all fixtures of the same type that are powered on and connected via the DMX link.

2. Upload the fixture software as described in the uploader’s help file or user documentation.

3. Disconnect the uploader hardware and reconnect the fixture to the DMX link.

4. Cycle power off and on. Check that the fixture resets correctly and behaves normally. If it does not, cycle

power off and on again and check that the fixture now resets correctly and behaves normally. If the problem persists, contact Martin for assistance.

Status indicator LEDs

Two LEDs on the rear cover give information about fixture status.

LED 1 (DMX / data status)

• Lights steady red if the fixture receives data it cannot recognize.

• Lights steady green when the fixture is successfully receiving a DMX signal.

• Flashes green when the fixture is successfully receiving a data signal (e.g. RDM).

• Lights steady yellow during a software upload.

• Flashes yellow while the fixture is resetting.

LED 2 (Fixture status)

• Flashes red if an error occurs that requires service intervention.

• Lights steady green when the fixture is ready for operation.

• Lights steady yellow during a software upload.

• Flashes yellow while the fixture is resetting.

• Does not light at all if power is not applied to the fixture.

Adjustment

The Adjustment window in MUM is for use by service technicians only. Do not use any commands in this window unless specifically instructed to do so by Martin™ Service personnel. If you alter the factory settings, there is a risk that you will cause unsatisfactory performance.
