Safety information

Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents potential

risks due to electric shock, heat and ultraviolet radiation burns, lamp explosion, falls, high-intensity light, and fire if safety precautions are not followed. A thorough understanding of the dangers, genuine concern for safety, and attention to detail are required to prevent accidents.

Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the safety precautions listed below, observe the warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture, observe all local building, safety and electrical regulations, and always double-check the safety conditions. If you have questions about how to operate the Exterior 600, please contact your Martin dealer for assistance.

Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.

Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin accessories.

Guarding against electric shock

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removi ng or installing the lamp, fuses, or any part.

• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.

• Refer all service to a Martin service technician.

Introduction 7

Page 8

Lamp safety

• Do not operate the luminaire with missing or damaged covers, shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens: an unshielded discharge lamp emits UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage.

• Do not stare directly into the light output. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.

• A hot discharge lamp is under pressure and can explode without warning. Allow the luminaire to cool for at least 20 minutes and protect yourself with safety glasses and safety gloves before replacing the lamp or servicing the luminaire internals.

• If the quartz envelope of a discharge lamp is broken, the lamp releases a small quantity of mercury and other toxic gases. If a discharge lamp explodes in a confined area, evacuate the area and ventilate it thoroughly. Wear non-porous safety gloves when handling a broken discharge lamp. Treat broken or used discharge lamps and used safety gloves as hazardous waste and send to a specialist for disposal.

• Replace the lamp if it becomes visually deformed, damaged or in any way defective

• Replace the lamp at the latest when it reaches the limit of its average life as specified in this manual or by the lamp manufacturer.

• Install only an approved lamp.

Guarding against burns and fire

• Do not attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.

• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 1 meter (39 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture.

• Install the fixture outdoors or in a well ventilated area.

• Do not place filters or other materials over the lens. Use only Martin accessories to modify beam shape.

• The exterior of the fixture becomes very hot, up to 90° C (194° F) during normal operation. Do not locate the fixture in areas where accidental contact is likely.

• Allow the fixture to cool for 20 minutes before servicing

• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.

• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (T (104° F).

) exceeds 40° C

Preventing injury due to falls

• Ensure that all external covers, components and installation fittings are securely fastened.

• Ensure that all supporting structures, surfaces, fasteners and lifting equipment can bear the weight of all the devices they are intended to support plus an adequate safety margin, and that they conform to local building and safety regulations.

• Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform whenever installing, servicing or removing the fixture.

• Always use at least one fastener of the correct grade in each of the 4 curved mounting slots in the base.

Installation

This section describes in general terms how to mount the fixture and connect it to data and AC power. These procedures must be performed by qualified professionals.

The chapter contains the following sections:

• “Unpacking”

• “Lamp Installation”

• “Fixture instal l a ti on”

Unpacking

The Exterior 600 comes with the following items:

• Philips MSD 575 discharge lamp

• User manual

Lamp Installation

See “Installing the lamp” on page 66.

Fixture installation

This section briefly describes how to anchor the Exterior 600. The Exterior 600’s base allows the fixture to be manually panned 50° and tilted +/- 40°.

Warning! It is the installer’s responsibility to determine the anchoring

method.

Location and orientation

The Exterior 600 may be installed outdoors, in any orientation. It must be located at least 1 meter (39 in.) away from the surface to be illuminated and any combustible materials. The aluminum housing reaches temperatures up

10 Installation

Page 11

to 90° C (194° F): the fixture should not be located where it can accidentally be touched.

When choosing a location for the fixture, consider that it has an ingress protection rating of 65. This means that the fixture is totally dust proof and that it is protected from water ingression to the extent that moisture from low-pressure water jets from any direction cannot get into the product. However, the product is not designed to withstand:

• High-pressure water jets from any direction

• Immersion in water (or any other fluid)

The Exterior 600 requires free-circulating air for cooling. Do not bury the Exterior 600, install it in a well or sunk into a recess, or otherwise locate it in an unventilated space.

To achieve the full tilt range, the fixture must be installed on a pedestal at least 12 cm (4.7 in) long. To achieve the full pan range, the fixture must be anchored with 4 fasteners that can be loosened, spaced at 90° intervals as described in “Fastener spacing and type” below.

Sun alignment and 12° beam angle models

Exterior 600 models with a 12° beam angle are fitted with a PC (plan oconvex) lens. If the sun is aligned in front of this lens at any time during its daily and seasonal movement and the sunlight is powerful enough, the sun’s rays can be focused into the fixture, causing internal damage. The conditions that can cause this damage are rare, but fixture/sun alignment must be taken into account during installation of 12° models.

There are various solutions to this limitation. One solution is to fit the Exterior 600 snoot accessory, if possible in combination with the barn doors accessory, to shield the lens as much as possible from the sun’s rays. If the fixture is easily accessible, another solution is to shade the lens during the day. Note that the center of the lens must never be covered while the lamp is lit as this will lead to overheating and damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

Fastener spacing and type

Warning! Verify that the supporting structure can bear the weight of all

installed devices. Use at least one fastener in each of the 4 curved mounting slots.

The fixture is designed to be anchored with four 10 mm (3/8 in.) bolts. Additional bolts may be used but the pan range will be reduced. Evenly space the bolts at 90° intervals, centered on a 170 mm (6 and 11/16 in.)

Installation 11

Page 12

circle, so that one bolt passes through each curved slot in the foot of the base.

The specific hardware will depend on the installation. Consult a qualified engineer to determine a suitable anchoring method and to verify that the structure can safely bear the fixture’s weight. Use high quality corrosionresistant fasteners such as zinc-plated steel, grade 8.8 or better, together with either self-locking nuts or nuts and lock-washers.

Adjusting pan and tilt

1. To adjust the pan, loosen the anchor bolts slightly so that the fixture can turn. Manually adjust the pan position and retighten the bolts.

2. To adjust the tilt, loosen both tilt locks on either side of the base. Position the fixture and retighten the tilt lock nuts.

AC power

Power configuration

This section describes connection to AC power. Your Exterior 600 is factorywired to one of the following settings:

• 230 V, 50 Hz

• 245 V, 50 Hz

• 208 V, 60 Hz

• 277 V, 60 Hz

Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly reduced lamp life, overheating and damage to the fixture. The factory settings are printed on the serial number label. If your local AC voltage or frequency differ from the settings for your model, then see “Changing the power settings” on page 71.

Connection to power

Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must

be grounded (earthed). The AC power system must be fitted with current overload and ground-fault (earth fault) protection.

Important! Do not connect the Exterior 600 to an electrical dimmer system.

Doing so can damage the electronics.

The Exterior 600 is supplied with a 3 meter (9.8 ft.) length of 3-conductor

0.75 mm to AC power. The cable enters the fixture through an IP68 cable gland that fits 5.5-10 mm (1/4-2/5 in.) diameter cables.

Note: If the power cable jacket is open at any point (for example at a

connection or if damaged), and if the opening is exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables when temperature fluctuation during operation causes expansion and contraction. When installing the product outdoors, always ensure that the fixture is protected from water entry via the power cable by:

(~18 AWG) electrical cable, neoprene jacket type, for connection

AC power 13

• Protecting the connectors on the power cab les in a weatherproof housing or junction box (see manufacturer’s instructions), or

• Replacing the supplied cable with one that connects directly inside the fixture (see“Hard wiring the fixture to power” on page 14), or

• Using IP65 rated power connectors (see “Installing a plug on the power cable” on page 16).

Hard wiring the fixture to power

Prerequisites

• Use Hypalon or neoprene rubber-jacket cable. The conductor size must be 1.5 mm

• Verify that the power supply in the Exterior 600 is tapped for the local AC voltage and frequency. The factor- supplied rating can be found on the fixture serial number label.

• Verify that the feed cable is undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.

• if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

• Consult a qualified electrician if the Exterior 600 is to be connected directly to building wiring. There must be a switch in the circuit to turn power off when the fixture is not in use or is being serviced.

(approx. 16 AWG) minimum.

Replacing the power cable

1. Make sure the Exterior 600 is isolated from AC power and is cool.

2. Remove the 10 Allen screws from the rear cover plate.

3. Pull off the plate and seal.

pull the circuit board out.

5. Unplug the power cable’s brown lead from the back of the main fuse holder (B). The lead is connected with a spade plug and can be pulled off.

6. Remove the green/yellow lead from the grounding b olt (C) to the left of the ballast.

7. Disconnect the blue lead from the connection block (D) located in front of the transformer.

8. Loosen the large outer nut on the po wer cable gland (E). Cut cable ties as necessary and pull the power cable out of the fixture.

9. Transfer the outer cable gland nut (E) to the new cable and then insert the new cable through the cable gland. Pull the cable into the fixture and cut to 52 cm (20 in.) from the inside of the cable gland.

10.Remove 28 cm (11 in.) of outer insulation. Lead the cable between the fuse holder and housing (at B).

11. Install a ring terminal on the ground lead (green/yellow), place the terminal on the grounding bolt to the left of the ballast (C), and replace the nut.

12.Strip 6 mm (1/4 in.) of insulation from the neutral lead (blue) and screw the lead into the neutral terminal of the connection block in front of the transformer (D).

14.Replace the printed circuit board (A). Bundle the wires together as before with zip ties.

15.Verify that both nuts on the cable gland are tight (E). Check the condition of the seal for the back cover. Replace with a new one (P/N 20600020) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.

16.Insert the Allen screws through all holes in the cover and the seal. Place the cover firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the sea l so that they stick out a little, just enough so that you can feel the seal when you run a finger across the joint.

17.Cross-tighten the cover bolts evenly . The correct torque for these bolts is 2 Nm (1.5 ft.-lbs.). At this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.

The cable gland must be replaced if the outside cable diameter is larger than 10 mm or smaller than 5.5 mm. See “Cable glands” on page 59.

Installing a plug on the power cable

A non-IP-rated plug may be installed on the power cable for testing, service, and temporary applications only. For outdoor installations, a power plug rated IP65 minimum must be used. The following table details some commonly used wiring configurations.

Data link

A data link is required for DMX controller operation and for synchronized stand-alone operation of multiple fixtures.

Cable and junctions

The Exterior 600 is supplied with a dual 3 meter (10 ft.) 24 AWG cable tail with two IP65-rated locking 3-pin XLR connectors for data connection. The male connector is for data input and the female connector is for data output. The connectors are wired pin 1 to shield (ground), pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot).

Use RS-485 data cable designed for outdoor use to extend the link. 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 300 meters (1000 ft.) and 0.34 mm ft.).

(24 AWG) for runs up to

(22 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640

Warning! Connectors on earlier models are not weatherproof, and if these

connectors are exposed to water, moisture can be drawn up the inside of the cables when temperature fluctuation during operation causes expansion and contraction.

When installing the Exterior 600 outdoors, use one of the following measures to ensure that the fixture is protected from water entry caused by suction inside the data cable:

• Protect connectors on the data cable with weather pro of housings or junction boxes, or

• Use waterproof outdoor cable and IP65-rated XLR connectors such as the NC 3 MX-HD-B and NC 3 FX-HD-B produced by Neutrik that are s upplied with current Exterior 600s.

Splitter/Amplifiers

A device such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier may be used to branch the data link and/or extend its length. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.

Terminators

Termination of the data link is required for trouble-free communication. For temporary installations, this can be achieved with an IP65 weatherproof male termination plug inserted into the data output cable of the last fixture in each chain. A termination p lug is simply an XLR conn ector with a 120 ohm resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3.

If you terminate the data link internally then you will need to change the supplied dual cable (with male and female XLR connectors) to a single cable with a male connector. The process for changing the XLR cable is very similar to that for changing the power lead (see “Hard w iring the fixture to power” on page 14). The cable enters the fixture (at position E) and th e leads are connected to the connection block (at position D).

Building a data link

To build a data link:

1. Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. A male 5-pin to female 3-pin adaptor may be required. Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture and plug it into the fixture’s male data cable.

2. Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the inpu t of the next fixture. Continue in this manner. Up to 32 fixtures may be connected output to input.

3. Terminate the link as described above, at the output of the last fixture in the chain.

Fixture settings

This section describes how to set the control address, clock, and other fixture personalities. There are three ways to define fixture settings:

MultiUtility Manager

Multi-Utility Manager (MUM) is a PC software application supplied with a DABS1 USB-to-XLR communications adaptor. We recommend MUM because it provides an intuitive, easy-to-use, graphical user interface.

One limitation with MUM is that you can only connect to, and set-up, one fixture at a time.

See “Defining fixture settings using MUM” on page 23.

Fixture settings 21

Page 22

Martin MP-2 Uploader

The MP-2 uploader can be loaded with the Exterior 600’s control software and connected to the fixture or data link.

When working with multiple fixtures the Uploader allows you to apply settings globally to multiple fixtures on a data link.

The MP-2 provides a text-based interface and the fixtures do not provide feedback to the uploader. Therefore, the current settings of the fixture can only be “read” by observing the behavior of the fixture.

Refer to the respective MP-2 user manual for more information.

DMX Address Device

DMX Address Device (DAD) is a hardware device that can be used to set the DMX address of one Exterior 600 at a time.

If you need to set other fixture settings - such as the internal clock - then you will also need to use an MP-2 Uploader or MUM to completely set-up the fixture.

Refer to the DMX Address Device user manual for more information.

22 Fixture settings

Page 23

Defining fixture settings using MUM

Using MUM, you can connect to and set up one fixture at a time. Refer to the MUM user manual for instructions on installing and starting the MUM application.

Exterior 600

DABS1

Support for the MUM application is available from Version 2 of the Exterior 600 software.

Clock

To get started:

1. Connect a DABS1 adaptor to your PC.

2. Connect the DABS1 adaptor to your Exterior 600.

3. Power on the Exterior 600 and start the MUM application. The application will automatically detect an Exterior 600 if it is powered-on and connected to your computer via a DABS1 adaptor. It will also retrieve the current settings on the fixture and display them.

The Exterior 600 has a battery operated 24-hour clock that can start and stop stand-alone operation.

To set the clock:

Fixture settings 23

Page 24

1. Using MUM, click on the Fixture information button:

2. Using the two Fixture time spin buttons set the fixture to the current time (expressed in the 24-hour clock in hours and minutes). The time will be updated in the fixture in real-time.

Fixture settings

To set the additional fixture settings, click on the Fixture settings button:

In most situations the default settings will be appropriate.

24 Fixture settings

Page 25

DMX Protocol settings

These are described in “Preparing a fixture for DMX contro l” on page 46. Refer to this section if you will be operating the Exterior 600 with a DMX control device.

Automatic lamp on

When the Automatic Lamp On personality i s on, the fixture turns on the lamp within 90 seconds of power on. When set to Off (the default setting), a lamp-on command is required to turn on the lamp.

MC-X lamp off

By choosing the option MCX Preset 7 Key from the MCX Lamp off field you enable button 7 on an MC-X controller to be used to control the lamp off function.

Auto shutter B/O

The shutter will “assist” the dimmer blac k out (On=default) or will n ot be affected by the dimm er se tti n g (Off)

Effect speed

This setting determines whether effects begin to change quickly (Fast) or slowly (Safe). Early models were set to Fast by default, but Safe is now the default setting. To optimize effect precision and component life, we recommend that effect speed is always set to Safe.

Effect shortcuts

If set to On, the CMY effects take the shortest path to the next position, passing the open position if necessary. If set to Off, the CMY effects avoid passing the open position so that cyan, magenta and/or yello w are never completely removed from the light output during scene changes. Shortcuts are set to On by default.

Effect feedback

Effect feedback is a real-time position correction system that automatically corrects the position of the effect wheels. This is On by default.

Fixture settings 25

Page 26

General operation

When the Exterior 600 is connected to power it will reset.

Lamp operation

Avoid turning on several lamps at once. To optimize lamp life, always allow the lamp to warm up fully before turning

it off. For optimum lamp life, turn off lamp power whenever illumination is not

required for extended periods of an hour or more. Fixture power may remain on when not in use.

After being turned off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be turned back on. “Lamp on” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “lamp off” command are stored and then attempted again after the time has elapsed.

Cold weather operation

When the temperature is expected to fall below freezing, leave the fixture powered on when not in use to keep the electronics warm. The lamp, however, may be switched off.

Front glass care

Masking or covering the front glass in the Exterior 600 will cause undue heat buildup, and this may result in damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

The front glass may crack if the center is masked or covered over (for example, with sand or sticky tape). Keep the front glass clear of accumulated sand, dust, leaves, bird droppings, etc. at al l times. Take particular care if construction work is being carried out near the fixtures, or if

26 General operation

Page 27

they are installed in sandy or dirty environments. Never try to modify the light beam by covering the center of the front glass or sticking anything on the front glass.

Exterior 600 barn doors accessories shape the beam by masking the edge of the front glass. This solution is problem-free and is recommended if beam shaping is required.

The LEDs and fixture operating status

Two LEDs on the rear panel display the fixture status. Normal operation is indicated by two green LEDs. See Table 1 for other status messages.

The LEDs flash off for a brief instant at regular intervals to prevent false readings when the light sensor samples the light level.

Fixture control methods

The Exterior 600 can be controlled:

• With DMX signals from a DMX control device such as a DMX recorder or DMX controller. This is described in “Section 3. DMX control” on page 45.

• Using stand-alone programming. There are two ways of programming and storing a show in the fixture itself:

a. From a personal computer, using the Martin MUM software

application, or

b. Via an MP-2 Uploader

Stand-Alone programming is described in “Section 2. Stand-Alone operation” on page 31.

Color matching Exterior 200s and 600s

If you are running Exterior 200 and Exterior 600 fixtures together in the same installation, colors will not match perfectly when the same CMY values are used, because these fixture use different lamps.

Generally speaking, the relatively:

• Higher-powered lamps used in the Exterior 600 result in deeper colors in the cold colors of the spectrum.

• Lower-powered lamp used in the Exterior 200 will give deeper colors in the warm colors of the spectrum.

The following table gives some approximate values for color matching:

Stand-Alone programming overview

Stand-alone is a mode where the fixture executes color changes at set intervals and speeds, at pre-defined periods during the day, and/or when the light level falls below a defined level. The term stand-alone is used to mean that the Exterior 600 is not connected to a control device, but is preprogrammed with a series of up to 20 scenes that play continuously in a loop. The term ‘stand-alone operation’ can be applied to a single fixture, or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.

An Exterior 600 running a stand-alone show can perform synchronized scene changes (triggered by a master fixture) with up to 31 other Martin fixtures of the following types:

• Exterior 200

• Exterior 600

• FiberSource CMY150

• Imager series

• Alien 02 series

•MiniMAC Maestro

These fixtures all have their own shows individually programmed, but have scenes synchronously triggered by a one fixture. Synchronous ope ration of multiple fixtures requires that they be connected on a data link.

About scene timing

Fade

Wait

Fade

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. T he total time it takes a scene to execute is the sum of the fade and wait times.

When operating multiple fixtures synchronously, the wait time is determined by the fixture that issues scene change commands. It does this when it reaches the end of each scene wait time. Every other fixture fades and waits at its own rate and then remains in the “wait state” until it receives a start scene xx command. When programming in synchronous triggering situations, keep in mind that in order to keep things as simple as possible there are two rules of thumb that will make life much easier; try to ensure that:

1. Every fixture has the same number of scenes.

2. Respective scene times are a few seconds longer on the fixture that issues triggering commands.

The rules used in the algorithm are detailed in “Synchronous triggering during Stand-Alone operation” on page 43.

Synchronizing scene changes for multiple Exterior 600s

In situations where you are running multipl e Exterior 600s on a data link it is possible to synchronize scene changes.

It is important to note that each individual fixture must be programmed with a show and that the only commands that are passed are scene change commands. No data about the look of the scene is passed between fixtures.

Programming methods

The Exterior 600 provides two stand-alone programming methods; using the:

• Martin MUM application from a personal computer (recommend because it provides an intuitive, easy-to-use, graphical user interface), or an

• MP-2 Upload device. See the MP-2 user manual for further information.

If you are programming a group of fixtures to perfor m the same scenes with synchronized triggering then we recommend that you either:

• Use an MP-2 Uploader to program the same show on all fixtures on the network simultaneously (and then you can assign their individual DMX address afterwards), or

• Use MUM to program a single fixture, download and save the fixture settings to a file on your PC, and then upload the stand-alone program and fixture settings to each subsequent fixture that you connect to.

Programming from a PC using MUM

The programming of scenes, and setting up of master/slave relationships, can be performed from a personal computer using th e MUM application. The computer is connected to a fixture via a DABS1 USB-to-XLR adaptor, used to program the stand-alone settings for that fixture, and then removed. Once a fixture is subsequently switched on it can automatically run the scenes in its program in a loop, according to the triggering criteria you have specified (time of day , and/or light level).

Exterior 600

DABS1

If you are not familiar with the use of MUM, then it is recommend that you familiarize yourself with it by reading the MUM user manual.

Getting started

To get started:

1. Connect a DABS1 adaptor to your PC.

2. Connect the DABS1 adaptor to your Exterior 600.

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

Synchronizing scene changes for multiple fixtures

In situations where you are running multiple fixtures on a data link it is possible to synchronize scene changes (for fixtures that support this functionality - see “Stand-Alone programming overview” on page 32). Read this section if this applies in your case.

One controlling fixture triggers simultaneous program start and scene changes in the other fixtures. Each fixture stores its own program, and the controlling fixture triggers simultaneous program start and scene changes, in a cycle, based on its own program.

Each fixture will run its program repeatedly , changing scene when prompted to by the controlling fixture, or until the controlling fixture finishes its own program and signals that all fixtures should start from the first scene once again.

Automatically triggering stand-alone operation

Stand-alone operation can be set for one or two periods during a 24 hour period, or for a light level.

Setting a light-level trigger

The option Light level sensor trigger must be set to On. Stand-alone operation ca n be set for a specific li ght level usin g the Trigger

level spin button, or captured using the bu ilt-in light se nsor (press Capture current sensor value to do this). If the light levels fall below the specified

level then operation starts. If both the timer and the light-level sensor are used, operation starts

whenever it is darker than the light-level setting, and within the times set. To avoid false triggering by sudden light changes, for example from

automobile headlights, the light level must remain above or below the trigger threshold for 5 minutes.

Setting a timer trigger

Stand-alone operation can be se t for one, or two, pe riods, during a 24 hour period, using the built-in clock.

If both the timer and the light-level sensor are used, operation starts whenever it is darker than the light-level setting, and within the times set.

Programming from a PC using MUM 37

The first thing to do is to set the correct time. See “Clock” on page 23. You can set timer operation for a single period, or for two periods, for

example, one period in the morning, and one period in the evening.

Programming effects in scenes

• Exterior 600, 18-25°

• Exterior 600, 22-38° The zoom function has little effect with models containing

other beam angles.

Page 39

Filter color Select positions on the color wheel using the five buttons.

The color wheel has red, green, and blue dichroic color filters plus a 5600K to 3400K color correction filter and open white. It may be used together with CMY color mixing to increase color saturation. The wheel scrolls continuously, allowing for split-color effects, or in full steps. It also rotates continuously in both directions at different speeds.

Frost The two buttons are used to set the frost effect on and

off. The frost filter has little effect when used with the 65° or 100° Exterior 600 models.

Scene fade time

Scene wait time

The fade time, anything from 0 to 120 seconds, is the time it takes to change from one color to another.

This is the duration a color is applied. A wait time can be from 1 second to 12 hours.

When operating multiple fixtures in synchronized-triggering mode, the wait time in “slave” fixtures is disregarded, and is determined by the triggering, or “master” fixture. Each fixture fades at its own rate and then waits for the master to signal a scene, or program, start before continuing.

When programming a triggering (“master”) fixture, keep in mind that its total scene times should be equal to or longer than the fade times of the other fixtures. You will get unpredictable results if, for example, a scene is programmed in the master to last 10 seconds and in other fixtures to fade for 15 seconds.

Scene management

Once you have specified a mix of effects, you can store the scene using the options available under the Program menu:

Programming from a PC using MUM 39

Page 40

When the program is run, scenes execute in a continuous, ascending loop. Note that, if a “slave” fixture has:

• Fewer scenes than the master fixture, it will run these in a cycle continuously, until the master fixture signals that the program should start from the beginning again.

• More scenes than the master fixture, then the additional scenes will never run, because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts its program from the beginning.

Programming the same stand-alone show on multiple fixtures

Although you can only connect to and program a single fixture at a time using the MUM, you can use it to program a singl e fixture, download and save the fixture settings to a file on your PC, and then upload the standalone program and fixture settings to each subsequent fixture that you connect to. This is useful if you have a group of fixtures of the same type that will run the same stand-alone show.

DMX controller override during stand-alone show playback

If an Exterior 600 is connected to a DMX controller and receives DMX signals during show playback, the Stand-Alone show will stop running and the fixture will respond to the DMX controller. DMX signals always have priority over the running of a Stand-Alone show.

Synchronous triggering during Stand-Alone operation

Note This chapter details the rules that are used in Stand-Alone

synchronous triggering. It is not necessary to read this chapter unless you require help with problem diagnosis or unless you otherwise need a detailed understanding of the algorithm used for synchronous triggering.

The rules are as follows:

1. Every fixture can have up to 20 on-board scenes with individual fade and wait times.

2. Scenes are numbered from 0 to 19.

3. A scene contains a fade-section, followed by a wait-section.

4. When running "synchronous triggering" one Exterior 600 issues commands to the other Exterior 600s 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 ex ample) i n whole n umbers (n o 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 x" message will result in the first scene being played.

Synchronous triggering during Stand-Alone operation 43

Page 44

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.

F=fade, W=wait Timeline =>

M0 M1 M2 M3

Programmed in Master F W F W F W F W

S0 S1 S2 S3 S4

Programmed in Slave F W F W F W F W F W

Result M0 M1 M2 M3

FW FWF WFW S0 S1 S2 S3 FW FW FW ----F W

7. 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 ou t of their programmed sequence because scenes 0 and 2 on the Slave are longer than the corresponding scenes on the Master.

M=master, S=slave F=fade, W=wait Time >

Preparing a fixture for DMX control

There are a range of DMX specific settings that you need to set. These are described in this chapter. You can use a personal computer (via the MUM application), an MP-2 or a DAD to prepare your Exterior 600. We recommend using the MUM because it has a graphical user interface that is easy to use (see the following illustration).

Follow the instructions in “Fixture settings” on page 21 to choose and connect a setting device and then refer to this chapter for information about DMX specific settings.

DMX address

The DMX address, also known as the control address, or start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. Each fixture needs its own control address set, and uses this address and subsequent

46 Preparing a fixture for DMX control

Page 47

control channels to receive instructions from a controller. The Exterior 600 uses eight (mode 1) or nine (mode 2) channels of contro l data. When operating in mode 1, the fixture reads the data on the start channel and the next seven channels. If the control address is set to 100, th e fixture uses channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 10 6, and 107. Channel 108 would be the control address for the next fixture.

If two or more fixtures are set up with the same address, they will receive the same instructions and should 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.

To set the DMX address use the DMX Address spin button. The fixture address is updated in real time.

DMX lamp off option

When the DMX Lamp-off personality is on (the default setting), lamp power can be turned off from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value from 248 to 255. When set to off, the lamp-off command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to 232.

DMX reset option

When the DMX Reset personality is on (the default setting), the fixture can be reset from the controller by setting channel 1 to a decimal value from 208 to 217. When set to off, the reset command executes only if channels 3, 4, and 5 are set to values from 230 to 232.

DMX mode

The Exterior 600 has two DMX modes of operation:

Mode 1 Use 8 DMX channel s and provides tracking

control of the fixture.

Mode 2 Uses 9 DMX channel s and provides both

tracking and vector control. (Recommended)

The speed at which effects fade, that is, move from one position to another, can be controlled in two ways known as tracking control and vector control:

•With tracking control, fades are programmed using the controller’s fade time. The controller divides the fade into small pieces that the fixture

Preparing a fixture for DMX control 47

Page 48

“tracks.” The Exterior 600 has a digital filter algorithm that averages several updates to ensure smooth movement.

• Vector control provides a way to program fades on controllers without programmable fade times or cross-faders. With vector control, instead of breaking up the movement into many small positions, the controller sends one position value along with a speed value that is programmed on a separate channel. Vector control may provide smoother fades than tracking control with some controllers, particularly on very slow fades.

Using DMX mode 2 you are able to switch between tracking and vector control, but you cannot use both at the same time.

48 Preparing a fixture for DMX control

Page 49

DMX controller operation

The Exterior 600 may be programmed and operated with a ny lighting controller that is compatible with the USITT DMX standard. This section describes how to operate the fixture with a controller.

“Data link” on page 18 for connection requirements and “DMX protocol” on page 54 for specific control values.

DMX control device

This chapter contains the following sections:

• “Effect operation” on page 50

• “Color” on page 51

• “Dimmer” on page 52

• “Shutter” on page 52

• “Zoom” on page 52

• “Beam shaper and frost” on page 53

Important: If an Exterior 600 is connected to a DMX controller and receives

DMX signals during stand-alone show playback, the stand-alone show will stop running and the fixture will respond to the DMX controller. DMX signals always have priority over the running of a stand-alone show.

DMX controller operation 49

Page 50

Speed

Effect operation

The effects reset to their “home” position when the Exterior 600 is powered on. The Exterior 600 can also be reset from the controller on channel 1. If the DMX Reset personality is off (see “DMX reset option” on page 47), the reset command only works if each of the CMY channels is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.

The speed at which effects fade, that is, move from one position to another, can be controlled in two ways known as tracking control and vector control. These are explained in “DMX mode” on page 47.

Using DMX mode 2 you are able to switch between tracking and vector control:

• Tracking control is enabled by setting channel 9, the speed channel, to a decimal value from 0 to 2. Fades are then programmed using the controller’s cross-faders. The Exteri or 600 has a digital filter algorithm that averages several updates to ensure smooth movement.

• A vector speed is programmed by setting the speed channel to a decimal value from 3 (fastest) to 245 (slowest). The speed setting applies to dimmer and color fades. When using vector control, the controller crossfade time, if available, must be 0.

Feedback

An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the effect wheels. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback off (see “Effect feedback” on page 25), but this is not recommended.

Shortcuts

The shortcuts setting determines whether the CMY effect wheels take the shortest path between two positions, crossing the open position if necessary, or always avoid the open position so that cyan, magenta and yellow are never completely removed from the light output during scene changes. The setting may be overridden on the speed ch annel (only available in DMX mode 2 - see “DMX mode” on page 47).

Lamp on

Lamp off

Lamp

With the default setting, th e lamp remain s off until a “lam p on” command i s sent from the controller. To have the lamp strike automatically within 90 seconds of powering on, activate the Automatic Lamp On personality (see “Fixture settings” on page 21).

A large peak of electric curr ent is drawn for an instant when strik ing a discharge lamp. Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking and/or trip circuit breakers. When striking multiple lamps, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. If Automatic Lamp On is enabled, there is a delay of up to 90 seconds that is determined by the fixture address.

The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending a “lamp off” command on channel 1. If the DMX Lamp Off personality is off (see “DMX lamp off option” on page 47), the command only works if each of the CMY channels (3, 4, and 5) is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.

After being turned off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be turned back on. “Lamp on” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “lamp off” command are stored and then executed after the time has elapsed.

Color

Color wheel

Setting the color speed to “blackout” in mode 2 causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel moves.

CMY subtractive color mixing

The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range of mixed colors may b e achieved by

DMX controller operation 51

Page 52

varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%. Note that mixing 3 colors results in a loss of light - the light is blacked out when all 3 colors are fully applied. For maximum brightness, mix only 2 colors at a time.

Random color mixing

Random color mixing with the CMY system at slow, medium, and fast speeds is available on channel 6 . These random commands take precedence over values set on the cyan, magenta, and yellow channels.

Dimmer

The mechanical dimmer provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming.

Shutter

The high-speed mechanical shutter opens and closes the light instantly. Light can be flashed at up to 8 Hz and there is a DMX-callable random strobe function.

If the auto shutter B/O function is enabled (see “Fixture settings” on page

24), the shutter, which is faster than the dimmer, automatically closes when the dimmer receives a command to close “instantly,” to provide faster blackouts.

Zoom

The lens may be driven forwards or backwards to vary the size of the beam. The zoom function only has a noticeable effect in the following Exterior 600 models:

• Exterior 600, 18-25°

• Exterior 600, 22-38°

The zoom function has little effect with models containing other beam angles.

Seal maintenance

The Exterior 600 has an IP rating of 65: it is protected against dust and can withstand low pressure water jets. To maintain protection against dust and water:

• Verify that cable glands are tightened both to the casing and the cable.

• Replace any seal that becomes brittle or shows visible signs of wear.

• Verify that seals are flush with, or protrude slightly above, the surface of the aluminum covers.

The seals must extend 0.5 - 1 mm (1/64 - 1/32 in.) beyond the outside of the casing. If you can feel the seal when you run a fi nger across the j oint, that’s enough. A good seal will be maintained if the seals are flush with the casing, but if they are below the casing’s edge, they can collapse into the unit and let water in.

The silicone seals should maintain their sealing ability for the life of the fixture. When servicing the fixture, note the condition of the seals and replace any seal that is cracked, torn, brittle, or inflexible. Replacement seals may be ordered from your Martin Architectural dealer.

Two water and oil-repellent GORE-TEX membrane air vents in the rear cover of the Exterior 600 allow air to pass through the housing. These expel moisture as the luminaire heats up and cools down and equa lize pressure differences, eliminating the potential for vacuum that can suck moisture into the fixture if it is improperly installed or maintained.

Seals and torque settings

To maintain the fixture’s resistance to dust and moisture, it is important that you reinstall covers and seals carefully after removal.

To ensure a correct seal at critical joints, a quality torque wrench or driver with an adjustment range that includes 1 .0-2.0 Nm (0.8-1.5 Ft -Lbs) must be used to tighten screws to the torque settings specified in this manual. Damage caused by incorrectly torqued screws is not covered by the product guarantee.

58 Seal maintenance

Page 59

• Tighten the screws that hold the end plates, lamp access plate and retaining ring for the front glass (or PC lens on 12° beam angle models) gradually in stages to a torque of 2 Nm (1.5 ft.-lbs.). At this torque, the seals will be compressed by about one-third.

• When replacing the front cover, to avoid breaking the glass, tighten the screws gradually in stages, working around in a circle.

The recommended procedure for closing each of the 4 openings is the same:

1. Insert the screws through all holes in the cover and seal.

2. Place the cover firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the seal so that they stick out a little, just enough so that you can feel the edge of the seal when you run a finger across the joint.

3. Cross-tighten the cover screws evenly, gradually increasing the torque in stages to the correct setting of 2 Nm (1.5 ft.-lbs.).

If installing the eight M4 Allen screws in the front glass retaining ring or PC lens retaining ring on the outside of the front cover, tighten screws evenly and gradually , working around the ring in a circle, until you reach the correct torque of 2 Nm (1.5 ft.-lbs.). If you tighten one screw too much compared to the others, the pressure from that screw may break the front glass or lens.

Cable glands

The supplied cables enter the fixture through cable glands that fit 5.5-10 mm (1/4 - 2/5 in.) diameter cables. The gland must be replaced if the power or data cable is replaced with a cable of a different diameter (larger than 10 mm or smaller than 5.5 mm (1/4 - 2/5 in.), or if the data cable is replaced with two separate cables. Replacement glands, available from electrical suppliers, must have the following characteristics:

Temperature range 20 to 70 degrees Celsius (or better) Ingress protection rating IP 67 or 68 Entry thread size PG 11 Minimum entry thread length 8 mm

Cleaning

Cleaning lenses

Clean the optical components carefully. Remove smoke and other residues with cotton swabs or unscented tissues

moistened with isopropyl alcohol. A commercial glass cleaner may be used, but residues must be removed with distilled water. Clean with a slow circular motion from center to edge. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or compressed air.

Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub the surface: lift the particles off with a soft repeated press.

Cleaning the housing

The Exterior 600’s aluminum housing can be cleaned with mi ld detergents such as those for washing cars.

Disconnect the fixture and allow it to cool. Visually check that the seals are in good condition. Rinse off loose dirt with a garden hose or low-pressure water spray. Do not

use a high-pressure spray. Wash the aluminum using a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. Do

not use abrasive cleaners. Rinse.

Firmware updates

The latest Exterior 600 firmware is available from the su pport area of the Martin web site at http://www.martin.com. It can be installed using an MP-2, or via a PC serial data link using a hardware interface supported by the Software Uploader shareware (also available from the Martin web site). The following devices are currently supported (in Version 5.5):

• DABS1

• ShowDesigner PCI DMX Interface Card (2048 channel version)

• LightJockey PCI DMX Interface Card (512 and 2048 channel versions)

• LightJockey PCMCIA DMX Interf ace

• LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX Interface Card (DJ and Club versions)

Note: If you are using an intermediate control system such as the

Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin Matrix, this must be bypassed when updating fixture software via the DMX link. These systems do not relay the update code correctly because it is not a DMX-compliant signal.

When updating firmware, be sure to read the release notes to familiarize yourself with any changes in functionality or any special instructions.

Note: Some firmware releases may require a boot mode upload, or a

boot sector update. In order to prepare the Exterior 600 for this, a jumper inside the fixture must be set. In these cases, follow the procedure in “When the fixture is not responding (boot mode & boot sector upload)” on page 62.

Normal updates (DMX/Auto mode upload)

To update fixture software, connect an upload device to the fixture as with a DMX controller and perform a DMX mode upload as described in the upload device’s documentation. There is no need to isolate the Exterior 600s from other types of fixtures on the serial data link.

When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the Exterior 600 performs a check-sum test of the memory and then resets.

Firmware updates 61

Page 62

In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be

PL 104 PL 121

PIN #1

PL 104 PL 121

PIN #1

powered off for at least 10 seconds to force a check-sum test. You can then repeat the DMX-mode upload. If an error occurs and the fixtures do not reset, data was interrupted or corrupted during transmission.

When the normal method fails (boot mode upload)

If an upload attempt is interrupted or corrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds before a second upload can be attempted. When the fixture is powered on, the LEDs will blink yellow in preparation for the second upload attempt. Perform a boot-mode upload (as described in the upload device’s docu me ntation).

When the fixture is not responding (boot mode & boot sector upload)

If all else fails, the fixture is responding erratically or not at all, or when the software update notes call for a boot sector update or boot mode upload:

1. Make sure the Exterior 600 is isolated from AC power and has been allowed to cool for at least 20 minutes.

2. Open the fixture by removing the ten 4mm Allen screws from the rear cover plate.

3. Carefully remove the plate and seal.

4. To remove the printed circuit board from the fixture, remove the two Philips screws from the aluminum bracket and pull the board out.

5. On the circuit board, locate jumper PL121 (illustrated in “PCB layout” on page 78) and move the jumper to pins 1 and 2 as shown here. This will

remove the write protection from the boot sector and place the fixture in boot mode where it waits to receive new firmware.

6. Replace the PCB and apply power to the fixture.

7. Perform a boot mode upload as described in the upload device’s

8. When the upload is complete, disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool.

9. Remove the two screws from the aluminum bracket and pull the PCB out.

10.Move the jumper at PL121 back to the “normal” position (pins 2 and 3).

11. Replace the PCB.

12.Before closing, check the condition of the seal. Replace with a new one (P/N 20600020) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.

13.To close, insert the Allen screws through all holes in the cover an d seal. Place the cover firmly against the body. Adjust the straight sides of the seal so that they stick out a little, just enough so that you can feel the seal when you run a finger across the joint.

Installing the lamp

WARNING! Always disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to

cool for 20 minutes before installing the lamp.

1. Isolate the fixture from AC power. If it is hot, allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before proceeding. The lamp is under high pressure when hot and can explode: use safety goggles to protect your eyes.

2. Remove the nut from the M10 bolt at the top of the fixture and remove the bolt.

3. Loosen the bottom bolt slightly, if necessary, and tilt the rear section back no more than 45° to avoid damaging the electrical conduit beneath the fixture.

4. Remove the four 5mm Allen screws from the lamp access plate. Remove the access plate and its rubber seal.

5. Remove the 2 Phillips screws from the lamp-socket assembly. Gently pull out the assembly.

66 Lamp maintenance

Page 67

6. Remove the old lamp from the socket.

7. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base - do not touch the glass insert it firmly and squarely into the lamp socket.

8. Clean the glass bulb with the wipe supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol may also be used.

9. Re-insert the lamp assembly. Replace the 2 Phillips screws.

10.The lamp holder is adjusted at the factory; but precise alignment may be necessary due to slight variations between lamps:

a. Apply power to the fixture. b. Center the hot-spot (the brightest

part of the beam) by turning the 3 Allen/hex screws one at a time to move the hot-spot diagonally across the beam. If there is no hot-spot, adjust until the light is even.

c. To reduce the hot-spot, pull the

lamp back towards you by turning all three Allen screws clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.

d. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light

output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. Move the lamp forward by turning the adjustments screws counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.

e. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool.

11. Check the condition of the lamp access sea l. Replace with a new one (P/N 20620050) if the seal is torn, cracked or brittle.

12.Place the seal on the back of the lamp access plate. Insert the 4 Allen screws through the plate and install. Cross-tighten the Allen screws evenly, increasing torque gradually to the correct setting of 2 Nm (1.5 ft.lbs.). At this torque, the seal will be compressed by about one-third.

13.Tilt the rear section into position and replace the long bolt and lock nut.

Changing the power settings

Warning! The fixture’s voltage and frequency settings must match the

local AC power source!

The factory-set power supply tappings are printed on the serial number label on the back plate. Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly reduced lamp life, overheating and damage to the fixture. If the setting does not match your local AC voltage and frequency, then the power supply must be retapped as described in:

• “Adjusting power (on models othe r th an 27 7 vol ts)” below, or

• “Adjusting power on 277 volt models” on page 73.

Warning! The fixture’s power supply must be rewired by a qualified

installer or technician.

Adjusting power (on models other than 277 volts)

This procedure applies to all models except those factory wired for 277 V supply (see the serial number label on the fixture). If the Exterior 600 model

Installing a battery on the PCB

The Exterior 600’s built-in clock, which can be used to start and stop operation in stand-alone mode, requires a 3V battery (P/N 05801001) on the PCB in order to keep time when the fixture is powered off.

The battery mounts on the circuit board at position BAT101, which is located right behind the sensor inputs at PL251 and PL252, on top of IC124. The position is indicated by a ring of the same size as the battery. The positive pole is indicated on the print and is the position closest to the relay.

To:

• Install the battery, heat the existing solder on the bottom of the circuit board and insert the pins from the top, one at a time.

• Prevent accidental discharge when storing in an antistatic bag, we recommend placing a drop of silicone over the solder connections.
