AC power

Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC 101 to A C mains power.

Warning! For protection from electric shock, the MAC 101 must be grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.

Warning! The MAC 101 does not have a power on/off switch. Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the MAC 101 with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.

Warning! Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.

Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the MAC 101, as this may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

The MAC 101 can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.

Power voltage

Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixture’s serial number label matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture.

MAC 101 fixtures accept AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the fixture at any other voltage than that specified on the fixture’s serial number label.

Power cables and power plug

Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, hav e three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum and a total cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.). Cables must be extra hard usage type (ST or equivalent) and heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum.

If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 20 A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

Installing a power input connector on a power cable

To install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA input connector on a power cable:

1. Slide the bushing over the cable.

2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (D

) of 5 - 10 mm (0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck ov er cab les with a diameter of 10 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.).

3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the cable’s outer jac ket.

4. Strip 8 mm (1/3 in.) from the end of each of the wires.

5. Insert each of the wire ends into the appropriate terminal (see instructions and Table 1 above) and fasten the clamping device using a small flathead screw driver.

6. Push and insert the chuck into the housing (note that there is a raised key on the chuck to ensure that it is oriented correctly).

7. Fasten the bushing using a wrench to a torque of 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb.-ft).

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! Do not connect more than ten MAC 101 fixtures in total to AC mains power in one interconnected chain.

Power can be relayed to another device via the light-grey PowerCon

throughput socket that accepts a light-grey PowerCon NAC3FCB cable connector. Note that blue input and light-grey throughput connectors have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other. Neutrik power connectors can be ordered separately from Martin (see Accessor ies on page 29).

If you link fixtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the first fixture, certain points must be respected:

• An extra hard usage, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm

cable with ST or equivalent cable jacket must be used to connect the first fixture to AC mains power and to interconnect all the fixtures in the chain up to a maximum of ten fixtures in total.

• Light-grey Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCB connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the fixtures’ power throughput sockets and blue Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA connectors must be used to supply power at the fixture’s power input sockets.

• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten MAC 101 fixtures in total (i.e. including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors.

Data link

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a MAC 101 via DMX. The MAC 101 has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin

1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the MAC 101 but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

The MAC 101 is not subject to the limit of 32 devices per daisy-chained link which is common in Martin fixtures. Instead, the number of fixtures is limited to either 256 or the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the 512 channels available in one DMX universe, whichever is lower. This means that:

• In 8-channel Basic DMX mode, up to 64 MAC 101 fixtures (or groups of fixtures with identical control) may be independently controlled on one link, up to a maximum of 256 fixtures.

• In 12-channel Extended DMX mode, up to 42 MAC 101 fixtures (or groups of fixtures with identical control) may be independently controlled on one link up to a maximum of 256 fixtures.

To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures with independent control, add a DMX universe and another daisy-chained link.

Tips for reliable data transmission

• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitab le for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.

• Never use both a fixture’ s outputs to split a DMX link. To split the link into branches, use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.

• Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

Connecting the data link

To connect the MAC 101 to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest MAC 101’s male 5-pin XLR DMX input

connector.

2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and

continue connecting fixtures output to input.

3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a 120 Ohm resistor.

Physical installation 11

Physical installation

The MAC 101 can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using a rigging clamp.

Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable attachment points on the base (see “Fixture overview” on page 6).

Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm (7.9 ins.) from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 100 mm (3.9 in.) from the head, that there is free airflow around the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

Make sure that it is impossible for the moving head to collide with another fixture or other object.

Placing the fixture on a flat surface

The MAC 101 can be placed on a stage or other level, flat surface. Check that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Warning! The supporting surface m u st be hard and flat or air vents in the base may be blocked, which will cause overheating. Secure the fixture against falling. Attach a securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point (see “Fixture overview” on page 6) if the fixture is to be placed above ground level in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The MAC 101 can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation.

Warning! Use a rigging clamp with an M12 bolt if suspending the fixture from its base. The clamp must be screwed into the central threaded hole in the fixture base. The M12 bolt must protrude 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the fixture base.

To clamp a MA C 1 01 to a truss:

1. Check that the rigging

structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

2. Obtain a rigging clamp

such as the G-clamp (P/N 91602003), Half-coupler clamp (P/N 91602005) or Quick trigger clamp (P/N 91602007) available as accessories from Martin. An omega bracket is not required.

3. Check that the rigging clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

Fasten the clamp to the fixture with a minimum grade 8.8 steel M12 bolt in the threaded hole in the center of the base of the fixture. The bolt must protrude 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the base of the fixture.

4. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the

arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp.

Warning!

Install M12 bolt when suspending fixture.

5. Secure the fixture against clamp failure with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable

that is rated for the weight of the fixture using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base (see “Fixture overview” on page 6). Do not use any other part of the fixture as a safety cable attachment point.

6. Check that the head will not collide with other fixtures or objects.

Hanging the fixture

In some regions, it may be legal to use two safety cables, one looped through one cable attachment point (see “Fixture overview” on page 6) and the other looped through the other cable attachment point, to suspend the fixture. If one cable fails, the other will provide secondary attachment.

However, this suspension method is not recommended as it will not hold the base firmly, and moving pan and tilt will cause the fixture and light beam to swing uncontrollably. Instead, we strongly recommend installation using a rigging clamp as described above.

Warning! If you choose to suspend using two cables anyway, you must install a minimum 8.8 grade steel M12 bolt in the rigging clamp hole in the center of the fixture’s base. See Figure 2. The bolt must protrude 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the base. If you do not secure the base in this way, there is a risk that the fixture may separate from the base and fall.

Quick-mount surface mounting bracket

Quick-mount surface mounting brackets (P/N 91606017) for the MAC 101 are available from Martin in sets of 5 brackets. The brack et can be screwed to a surf ace and the MAC 101 mounted on and removed from the bracket in seconds. Installation instructions are supplied with the brackets.

The DMX address is shown in the display panel when the MAC 101 is powered on and has reset. The display panel backlighting indicates fixture status as follows:

• The display dims to zero during resets.

• The display flashes slowly if the fixture is not receiving a valid DMX signal unless the control buttons are used. In this case, the display behaves normally until the buttons have not been used for a short period, then begins to flash slowly again.

• The display can be set to go into sleep mode via

PERSONALITY → DISPLAY in the control menu.

Connecting a DMX signal ‘wakes up’ the display.

DMX address setting

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 101 fixtures may share the same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.

The DMX address is configured using the

DMX ADDRESS menu in the control panel.

DMX modes

DMX control mode is selected in the CONT MODE (control mode) menu. The MAC 101 provides three DMX control modes:

•

RAW is an uncalibrated RGB mode that gives maximum output and slightly more saturated color, but

there may be inconsistency in color balance between fixtures. It uses 12 DMX channels.

•

RGB is a calibrated RGB mode that gives slightly less output than RAW mode but consistent color

balance across fixtures. It uses 12 DMX channels.

•

BASIC is a basic mode that only uses 8 DMX channels but only gives access to the color wheel effect for

color control – RGB and CTC are not available.

Page 14

14 MAC 101 user manual

RAW and RGB modes include the same control options as BASIC mode, but they provide 4 e xtr a channels

to give RGB control and CTC. See “DMX protocol” on page 21 for details of the DMX commands available in the different modes.

Tailoring performance

Pan and tilt movement

The P/T SPEED settings set the maximum speed of pan and tilt movement. FAST optimizes for speed and

SLOW optimizes for smoothness of mov e me nt. NORMAL is the default setting and gives a good

compromise between these two. The

PAN INVERT and TILT INVERT commands reverse the direction of pan and tilt, and the SWAP

command sends pan commands to tilt and vice versa. These settings are useful for symmetrical effects with multiple fixtures.

Cooling

FANS gives you a choice of two settings:

• The default setting

REGULATED should suit use in all normal situations and ensure excellent service

lifetimes for all components.

•

FULL maximizes cooling and reduces the operating temperature of the components in the head. It is

recommended when the MAC 101 is used intensively in a warm environment or in fixed installations. Note that it will give increased fan noise compared to the other cooling modes.

Whateve r coo lin g mo de is se le cte d , a th ermal cutout shuts down power to the LEDs if the fixture temperature exceeds safe limits. If this occurs, you must reset the fixture via the control menus or via DMX, or cycle power to the fixture off and on again.

If a thermal shutdown occurs, yo u are p ush i n g th e fi xtu r e to its limits. Clean the fixture, particularly th e air vents, and check that there is sufficient airflow around the fixture. Consider increasing ventilation, reducing the ambient temperature, or switching to

FULL mode. Contact Martin for service if a thermal shutdown

persists.

Dimming

DIMMER CURVE provides four dimming options (see Figure 3):

•

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.

Whichever

DIMMER CURVE option you select, you can choose between FAST or SMOOTH dimming

settings:

•

FAST is the default setting. It gives a virtually instantaneous reaction when you dim from one intensity to

another, but dimming slowly from one intensity to another may appear slightly uneven.

• The

SMOOTH setting gives smoother dimming during slow changes in intensity, but it limits the speed of

dimming changes slightly. This makes it ideal for slow, smooth dimming, but a short time-lag may be noticeable if you try to dim quickly from one intensity to another.

Operation and effects

Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the MAC 101.

This section describes only DMX control features that require particular explanation. See “DMX protocol” on page 21 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.

Pan and tilt

The MAC 101’s moving head can be panned through 540° and tilted through 240°. The speed of pan/tilt movement can be adjusted via the control panel.

All DMX modes offer fine control of pan and tilt. In each case, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channel sets the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the main channel.

Shutter effect

The electronic ‘shutter’ effect provides instant open and blackout, variable speed regular and random strobe and opening/closing pulse effects as well as burst and sinewave effects.

Dimming

Overall intensity can be adjusted 0 - 100% using electronic dimming. See “Dimming” on page 14.

Controlling color

Color wheel effect

The electronic ‘color wheel’ effect gives the convenience and feel of a mechanical color wheel and lets you snap between 33 different full LEE-referenced colors. You can also scroll continuously forwards or backwards through the colors or display random colors at variable speed.

The color wheel effect is available in all DMX modes. The approximate RGB equivalents of the ‘color wheel’ colors are given in “LEE colors and RGB equivalents”

on page 23.

Color wheel priority

Even if the fixture is set to

RAW or RGB mode, the color wheel effect channel still has priority over the RGB

channels. To use the RGB channels, you must set the color wheel effect channel to a DMX value from 000 -

009. If you move the color wheel channel to a DMX value above 009 at any point, the color wheel effect

takes over and overrides RGB control.

RGB color mixing

RGB color mixing is available in raw or calibrated modes:

• Raw RGB mode (

RAW) is uncalibrated and allows all LEDs to be operated to their absolute maximum

output regardless of color calibration issues.

• Calibrated RGB mode (

RGB) gives slightly reduced LED power but sets LEDs to their factory calibration

output power to give the best-matched color and white output across multiple fixtures.

CTC (Color Temperature Control)

If the fixture is set to

RAW or RGB mode, setting the CTC channel (12) to a DMX value greater than 019 will

adjust the fixture’s overall color temperature, i.e. the color that has been set using the color wheel channel or the RGB channels. Note that the more saturated the color, the less it will be affected by adjustments in color temperature. The biggest CTC variation is available when displaying white.

Overall color temperature can be varied from 10 000 - 2 500 K. The default color temperature is 5 600 K.

Service and maintenance

Warn ing! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before servicing the MAC 101. War n i n g ! D i s c o n n e ct t h e f i x t u r e f r o m AC m a i n s p o w e r a n d a l l o w t o cool for at least 10

minutes before handling. Do not view the light output from less than 8.3 meters (27 ft. 3 inches) without shade 4-5 welding goggles. Be prepared for the fixture to light suddenly if connected to power.

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

Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

The user will need to clean the MAC 101 periodically, and it is also possible for the user to update the firmware and install the optional diffuser accessory available from Martin. All other service operations on the MAC 101 must be carried out by Martin Professional or its approved service agents.

Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin Professional Global Service organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to Martin’s expertise and product knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the product’s lifetime. Please contact your Martin supplier for details.

It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. Howe v er , LEDs are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color and overall brightness over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent LED performance will be affected. Howev er, you may e v entually need to ask Martin Professional 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.

The manufactur er’s LED lifet ime data i s based on perf ormance under the manufacturer’s test conditions. As with all LEDs, the gradual reduction in luminous output will be accelerated when LEDs are used in a fixture, where conditions are much tougher than in manufacturer’s testing. To maximize LED lifetimes, keep the ambient temperature as low as possible and drive the LEDs no harder and for no longer than necessary.

Cleaning

Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 101. Environmental factors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:

• Use of smoke or fog machines.

• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).

• Presence of cigarette smoke.

• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor events, for example).

If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 hours 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.

Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.

Page 18

18 MAC 101 user manual

Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool before cleaning.

To clean the fixture:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents at

the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.

3. Remove the central screw from the grill on the front of the head, remove the grill and clean the LED

lenses by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.

4. Reinstall the grill over the LED

lenses in the front of the head and secure it with its screw.

5. See Figure 4. Remove the grill from

the fan on the back of the head by inserting a small flat-bladed screwdriver between the head and the arrow on the grill and levering the grill out of the head. Use cotton swabs (cotton buds) and a vacuum cleaner to clean the grill and the blades of the head fan, then clip the grill back into place.

6. Check that the fixture is dry before

reapplying power.

Control menu service utilities

Functions test

The TEST feature provides four test routines, allowing testing of pan/tilt, LEDs and display separately or together without a controller.

Pan and tilt calibration

Pan and tilt on the MAC 101 are calibrated at the factory so that movement is identical in multiple fixtures. Adjustment should not be necessary initially, but ov er a period of use fixtures may gradually lose calibration. If re-calibration is necessary:

1. Pan calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set tilt positions for

easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX value. Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On that fixture, select

SERVICE → CALIBRATION → PAN OFFSET and

press . Wait for the fixture to move to its pan calibration position.

2. On each of the other fixtures, select

SERVICE → CALIBRATION → PAN OFFSET and press . Wait

for the head to move to the pan calibration position, then adjust the pan offset using the  and

buttons as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press  to save the setting,

then to exit.

3. Tilt calibration is easiest when multiple fixtures are arranged side-by-side horizontally. To calibrate, set

pan positions for easy side-by-side comparison. Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On that fixture, select

SERVICE → CALIBRATION → TILT OFFSET and press . W ait for the fixture to mo v e

to its tilt calibration position.

4. On each of the other fixtures, select

SERVICE → CALIBRATION → TILT OFFSET and press . W ait

for the head to move to the tilt calibration position, then adjust the tilt offset using the

 and

buttons as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press  to save the setting,

then

to exit.

Software upload

The MAC 101 is loaded with both software (that can be installed and updated by the user) and firmware (that is internal and accessible to Martin Service and its authorized partners only). Software updates are available from the Martin website and can be installed with a PC and Martin USB Duo DMX Interface box that can upload software to one fixture at a time.

The following are required in order to install software:

• The latest version of the MAC 101 software, available for download free of charge from the Product Support area of the Martin website at http://www.martin.com

• A PC running Windows 98/2000/XP

• The Windows-based Martin Uploader application available for download free of charge from the Downloads Area of the Martin website at http://www.martin.com

• Martin USB Duo DMX Interface Box with its supplied cables.

Installing software: normal method

1. Connect the Uploader hardware to a MAC 101 fixture's data input connector.

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. If an error message appears in the

display, cycle power off and on again and check that the fixture now resets correctly.

Fixture readouts

DMX input signal

The DMX LIVE menu lets you view the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Fixture status

The MAC 101 gives fixture status readouts in the INFO menu:

• Current software/firmware version information.

• Temperature readouts from the power supply unit in the base and LED PCB in the head. In each case, you can view the current temperature and the maximum temperature reached since the readout was last reset. The maximum temperatur es ca n be rese t indi vi du a l ly. The

TOTAL temperature counters are not

resettable.

• Power on hours. You can view the number of hours since the resettable counter was last reset or the total number of hours since manufacture. You can also reset the resettable counter to zero.

• The manufacturer’s serial number and the fixture’s RDM ID number.

Display messages

If an error occurs, the MAC 101 gives fixture status readouts in the display. See “Display messages” on page 26.

Lubrication

In general, the MAC 101 does not require lubrication. However, depending on use conditions, the moving parts in the pan and tilt mechanisms may eventually require reapplication of lubricant. Excessive noise during pan/tilt movement is a sign that lubrication may be required. This operation can be carried out by a Martin serv ice partner if necessary.

Installing optional diffuser filters

A set of eight medium-angle diffuser filters can be ordered from Martin (P/N 91616018) as an optional accessory for the MAC 101. A diffuser filter softens the output from the LEDs and provides a wider beam angle.

To install a diffuser filter:

1. Shut down power to the fixture and allow it to

cool for at least 10 minutes.

2. Release the Torx screw in the center of the

spill ring on the front of the head and lift the spill ring off. Keep the screw for use during reassembly.

3. Place the diffuser filter over the lens plate so

that the cutouts in the diffuser locate over the tabs around the edge of the lens plate (see Figure 5).

4. See Figure 6. Line up the two small arrowheads (arrowed) molded

into the lens plate and spill ring and press the spill ring onto the lens plate so that the locating tabs in the lens plate engage in the cutouts in the spill ring.

5. Fasten the spill ring to the head reusing the Torx screw in the

center of the spill ring.

Installing an optional top hat

Top hats (P/N 91611358) can be ordered from Martin as optional accessories for the MAC 101. The Martin top hat reduces glare and spill from the MAC 101 and installs in seconds.

Important! The top hat has a lightweight design. Avoid shocks and rough handling.

To install a top hat:

1. Enable the

TOP HAT setting in

the PERSONALITY menu. This will limit tilt by a few degrees each side to avoid collisions between the top hat and the MAC 101’s base at maximum tilt.

2. See Figure 7. Line up the top

hat so that the pairs of retaining clips pass closely on either side of the tilt pivots in the sides of the head.

3. Push the top hat onto the head and engage all four clips firmly in the cooling vents in the back of the

head.

Troubleshooting

Problem Probable cause(s) Reme dy

Fixture is completely dead.

No power to fixture. Check AC mains power and connections. Internal circuit fault.

Have faulty fixture serviced by Martin service technician.

One or more fixtures resets correctly but responds erratically or not at all to the controller.

Fault on data link.

Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables.

Data link not terminated.

Insert termination plug in output connector of the last fixture on the link.

Incorrect fixture DMX addressing.

Check addressing on fixture and controller. Check fixture is set to correct DMX mode.

One of the fixtures is defective and is disturbing data transmission on the link.

Unplug XLR in and out connectors and connect them directly together to bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained. Have faulty fixture serviced by Martin service technician.

XLR pin-out on fixtures does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed).

Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pins 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically.

Light output shuts down unexpectedly.

Fixture is too hot.

Clean the fixture, especially air vents. Ensure free airflow around fixture. Check that ambient temperature does not exceed max. permitted level. Switch to FULL cooling mode. If problem persists, contact Martin for advice.
