About the HMI 1200 W/S lamp
The MAC 2000 Profile comes with a double-ended OSRAM
HMI 1200 W/S discharge lamp installed. This highly-efficient
short-arc source provides an exceptionally stable 6000K color
temperature, a color rendering index greater than 90, and an
average life of 750 hours.
The lamp is capable of hot restrike. This feature, howev er, is only
supported by the MAC 2000 Prof ile with electronic ballast.
The ends of the lamp have specially-developed keys, shown in
Figure 6, to ensure proper installation. Do not use HMI 1200 W/S
lamps with the non-keyed SFc 10-4 base.
Warning!Installing any other lamp may create a safety
hazard or damage the fixture!
The lamp has an average life of 750 hours. To reduce the risk of
explosion, replace the lamp before usage exceeds 125% of the
average life, i.e., before it exceeds 940 hours. To read lamp hours
from the control panel, please refer to “Readouts” on page 15.
For optimum performance, avoid turning off the lamp before it
has warmed up fully.

In the MAC 2000 Profile with electronic ballast, the transformer must be tapped correctly for the local AC voltage. The
electronic ballast automatically adapts to the line voltage and frequency. The wrong transformer setting, though, can
cause overheating, damage, and poor performance. The factory setting is printed on the serial number label.
FUSES
Electronic ballast models that come factory set for 100 V or 120 V have two 20 A T (time delay) main fuses, which are
located near the power switch. Units set at 210 V and above have two 15 A main fuses installed.
If you change the voltage settings, alternate fuses are supplied in bag packed together with this user manual. Use:
• 15 A main fuse s when the transformer is set at 208, 230, or 250 V
• 20 A T fuses when it is set at 100, or 120 V
To change the transformer setting

Power connection
Important! Connect the MAC 2000 Profile directly to AC
power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system;
doing so may damage the fixture.
You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the
power cable. A 3-prong grounding-type plug must be installed following the manufacturer’s instructions. The table
shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about
proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
To apply power, set the power switch on the base to the “I” position.

Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.
The MAC 2000 Profile has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is
pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.
The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs. For reliable data transmission and to avoid
damage to the fixture, however, use one input and one output!
Connecting fixtures
• Use shiel ded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit
control data reliably over long runs. 24 AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft). Heavier
gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs.
• Never use both outputs to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin
4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.
• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
• 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.
• Martin fixtures introduced before 1997 have reversed polarity data sockets (pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold). The
socket polarity is labelled. Use a phase-reversing cable between the MAC 2000 Profile and any Martin
device with reversed polarity.
To connect the data link
1 Connect the DMX data input from the controller to the MAC 2000 Profile’s 3-pin or 5-pin input (male) socket.
2 Using the sockets that match your data cable, connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the
input of the next fixture.
3 Insert a male 120 Ω XLR termination plug in the 3-pin or 5-pin output of the last fixture on the link.

To clamp the fixture to a truss
1 V erify that the rigging clamps (not included) are undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the
fixture. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,
auxiliary equipment, etc.
2 Bolt each clamp securely to a clamp bracket with an M12 bolt (grade 8.8 or better) and lock nut.
3 Align a clamp with 2 mounting points in the base. Inser t the fasteners into the base and tur n both levers a
full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock. Install the second clamp.
4 If the truss can be lowered, fixtures can be clamped on directly from the double flight case. If the fixture must
be lifted, block access under the work area. Working safely from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the
truss with the arrow towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamps.
5 Install a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. The attachment point is
designed to fit a caribiner clamp.
6 Verify that the pan and tilt locks are released. Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to
be illuminated within 1 meter of the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

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 2000 Profiles 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.

TRACKING RESPONSE
The MAC 2000 Profile has a filter algorithm that looks at several position updates in tracking control mode and
calculates the ideal response for smooth movement. Tracking response is adjustable to compensate for variations in
controller performance. In most cases the default settings work well.
If tracking mode movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parameters that can be adjusted. The first is selected under
PERS/TRAC/MOdE. The default, MOd1, is the best choice with controllers that calculate intermediate
positions at a steady rate. Begin by selecting the alternative,
significantly from the line of travel.
The second parameter is the number of position updates used to calculate speed. The level is adjustable between 1 and

DISPLAY
The display intensity (dINT) setting controls display brightness. The display on/off setting (dISP) determines
whether the display remains on or extinguishes two minutes after the last key-press. To flip the display, press [Up] and
[Down] simultaneously.
LAMP
There are two settings that modify lamp control: Aut omatic Lamp On (ALON) and DMX Lamp Off (DLoF).
When ALON is off, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is receive d from the contr oller. When ALON is
on, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When
automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes 15 minutes after DMX data is lost.
When
ALON is set to either ON or DMX, the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps from
striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address.
If striking lamps from the controller, note that striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to
prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. Avoid this by programming a “lamp on” sequence that
strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
Power to the lamp can be turned off from the controller if DMX Lamp Off (
lamp off command is executed only if position 7 is selected on the color wheel and gobo 5 is selected on both gobo
wheels. Be careful: with the magnetic ballast model, it is not possible to restrike the lamp until it has cooled for a few

gobos are suitable for short-term use only. For best results, custom gobos should meet the following criteria.
The color/gobo wheel accepts 1.1 mm thick gobos and color filters. Thinner gobos must be secured with a drop or two
of glue. Use a high-temperature silicone adhesive such as Dow Corning’s 732 Multi-Purpose Sealant.
The rotating-gobo wheel positions hold gobos up to 3 mm thick with the gobo retention spring. Gobos thicker than 3
mm must be glued in the holder.
ORIENTATION
Coated gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder (away from the spring). Textured gobos are
inserted with the smooth side against the spring. This provides the best results when combining rotating gobos.
When an object is held up to the coated side
there is no space between the object and its
reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot
be seen when looking through the coated
side.

To replace rotating gobos
Important! The gobo can fall out if the spring is inserted backwards.
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.
2 See Fi gure 17. Lock the head in the upside down position and remove the bottom cover. Turn the gobo
wheels as required to access the desired position. Pull the gobo holder away from the wheel slightly to
release. Remove the gobo holder.
3 Remove the gobo retention spring from the gobo holder and drop the gobo out of the holder. Insert the new
gobo in the holder. Insert the spring with the narrow end against the gobo. To identify the narrow end, pr ess
the spring flat: the narrow end is on the inside. Push the end of the spring in under the lip of the holder.
4 Work the rim of the gob o holde r und er bo th clip s and snap the gobo ho lder back into posi tion. If necessa ry,
a small screwdriver or similar tool may be used to pry the clips away from the wheel.

FFECTS
The MAC 2000 Profile is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The fixture has two DMX operating modes,
8-bit and 16-bit.16-bit mode requires four more DMX channels than 8-bit mode but provides more precise gobo
indexing and pan/tilt positioning. All other functions are iden tic al. The complete DMX protocol begins on page 24.
Dimming and strobe
The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent dimming, instant open and
blackout, random and variable strobe effects up to 10 Hz, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps
open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens.
Color mixing
The color mixing system uses continuous dichroic cyan, magenta, and yellow (CMY) color filters. It is a subtractive
system that removes color from white light. Inserting all three filters results in loss of light: for maximum brightness,
mix 2 colors at a time.
Color temperature correction
The color temperature correction (CTC) system uses a continuous 0 - 178 mireds color filter that lowers the color
temperature from 6000 K to 2900 K.
Random color mixing
Variable speed random color mixing using the CMY filters may be selected at the top of channel 7. When selected,
channels 3 - 5 set the maximum or minimum amount of each color in the mix. Values up to 127 set a minimum
amount: the color is randomly inserted from the selected value up to 100%. Va lues over 127 set a maximum amount:
the color is inserted from 0% up to the selected value. To use the full range of a color in the random mix, select a
minimum value of 0% or a maximum value of 100%. To exclude a color from the random mix, select a maximum
value of 0%.
Fixed colors and gobos
The color/gobo wheel provides seven slots with four dichroic color filters and three glass gobos. To change the color or
gobo, see “T o replace color filters or gobos” on page 19.
The wheel can be scrolled, allowing for split color effects, snapped to fixed po sitions, and continuously rotated in both
directions at different speeds. When the effects speed channel is set from 252 to 255, the dimmer automatically closes
while the color wheel is moving between static positions.
Gobos
Two overlapping gobo wheels provide room for 10 glass gobos. See page 17 to change gobos.
Gobos may be rotated and shaken at varying speeds and indexed to any position. Extremely accurate positioning is
available in 16-bit mode.
For each wheel, the gobo and type of rotation (indexed or continuous, with or without shake) are selected on the
wheel’s Gobo & Function Channel, which also provide commands for continuous wheel rotation. The gobo position
index and rotation speed are selected on its Position/Velocity Channel. In 16-bit mode, the position is further adjusted
on the wheel’s Fi ne Position Channel.
20MAC 2000 Profile
Effect wheel
The effect wheel provides a variable frost f ilter and two rotating slots that hous e a beam shaper and a three-f acet prism.
The position and velocity of the rotating slots are selected on the effect wheel’s Position / Velocity Channel.
The effect wheel channel also provides eight preprogrammed effect combinations.
Iris
The iris closes down to 15 percent of its full-open diameter with high, 200-step resolution. The Iris Channel also
provides random and variable speed pulsating iris effects.
Focus and zoom
The focus lens focusses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The zoom lens widens the beam
from approximately 10° at full spot to 28° at full flood.
Pan and tilt
The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 267°. For maximum positioning accuracy, select 16-bit mode.
The pan/tilt speed (fast, norm, or slow) may be selected on the pan/tilt speed channel. Setting the pan/tilt speed chan nel
to “blackout” causes the shutter to black out the light while the head is moving.
Speed control
There are two ways to control the speed at which effects move from one static position to another. These are known as
tracking control and vector control and are selected on the Pan/Tilt Speed and Effect Speed Channels. These channels
are independent so you may, for example, combine a vector control pan movement with a tracking control color fade.
In tracking mode, speed is determined by the cross-fade time. The controller continuously sends small position
changes that the fixture “tracks.” To enable tracking mode, set the relevant speed channel to a tracking v alue. Note that
in addition to enabling tracking control, some tracking values also provide overrides of the menu settings.
In vector mode, speed is set directly on a speed channel. The cross-fade time must be 0. Vector control provides a way
to set speed on controllers that do not have programmable fade times and results in smooth mov ement re gardless of the
cross-fade time or the controller’s processing power.
To open the iris slowly in tracking mode, for example, you program a scene with the iris fully closed and a second
scene with the iris fully open. Then you set a cross-fade time between the two scenes of, say, 10 seconds. The
controller gradually changes the iris position value from 199 (closed) to 0 (open).
To open the iris slowly in vector mode, you program the iris closed and open as before. Then you set the cross-fade
time to 0 and program a slow speed, in the second scene, on the Effect Speed Channel.

OUTINE MAINTENANCE
The MAC 2000 Profile requires routine cleaning. The schedule depends heavily on the operating environment; please
consult a Martin service technician for recommendations.
Refer all service not described here to a qualified Martin technician.
Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance and causes
overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the warranty.
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power before removing any cover.
Cleaning
Use care when cleaning optical components and work in a clean, well lit area. The coated surfaces are fragile and
easily scratched. Do not use solvents that can damage plastic or painted surfaces.
Inspect the air filters regularly and clean before they become clogged. Replace the air filters with new ones when
replacing the lamp.
To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the fans and air vents periodically.
To clean optical components
1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow the components to cool completely. Remove the head cover.
2 Vacuum or gently blow awa y dust and loose particles with compressed air.
3 Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotto n swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled
water. Do not rub the surface: lift the particles off with a soft repeated press.
4 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.
To clean the fan and air vents
• Remove dust from the fans and air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.
To clean or replace the air filters
1 Disconnect the fixture from power. On each side of the head, remove the 2 screws that hold the side cover
using a Torx-20 screwdriver. Slide the cover forward to remove. Lift the filter off of the cover.
2 Clean the filters with a vacuum or compressed air, or replace them. If they are saturated with smoke fluid,
etcetera, soak them in warm soapy water and blot dry.
3 Place the filters on the covers and replace the covers.
