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.

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.

IGGING
The MAC 2000 Profile can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. The Fast-Lock system enables
quick and easy fastening of the clamp brackets in 4 positions as shown Figure 11.

Figure 11: Clamp bracket positions
Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The
fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment hole in the base. Never use the carrying
handles for secondary attachment.

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.
