Lamp 7

L

AMP

The MAC 2000 Profile II is supplied with a Philips MSR 1200
SA/DE GOLD 1200 W discharge lamp installed. This source has
a color temperature of 6000 K, a color rendering index greater
than 85, 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 Profile II with electronic ballast.

The ends of the lamp are profiled with special keys, as shown in
Figure 6, to ensure proper installation. Do not use lamps with
keys in a non-keyed SFc 10-4 socket.

Warning! Install only an approved lamp (see Source on

page 38). Installing any other lamp may create a
safety hazard or damage the fixture!

The lamp should be replaced when it has reached the limit of its
750 hour average life. To reduce the risk of explosion, never
exceed 125% of the lamp’s average life, i.e. 940 hours. To read
lamp hours from the control panel, please refer to Readouts on
page 14.

For optimum performance, avoid turning off the lamp before it
has warmed up fully.

Lamp replacement

Important! Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers.

The lamp can be replaced with either a:

• Philips MSR 1200 SA/DE GOLD (Martin P/N 97010310), or an

• OSRAM HMI 1200 W/S (Martin P/N 97010304).
Both lamps are available from your Martin dealer.

The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from
your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it
with a dry cloth, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb.

Replacing the lamp

1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. Lock

the head horizontally with the top up.

2 See Figure 4. Release the 4 quarter-turn fasteners marked

with arrows on the rear plate. Pull the lamp assembly
straight back as far as it goes and let it rest in place.

3 See Figure 5. Pull the reten tion spring on the left-hand end

of the lamp socket up and then swing the end of the lamp
out. Pull the other end out of the socket.

4 Inspect the socket for corrosion (see Replacing the lamp socket on page 8) and replace if necessary.

5 See Figure 6. With th e nipple on the bulb facing the back,

insert the right end of the new lamp in the socket. Pull up
on the left spring and snap the other end into place.

6 Lift the lamp assembly so that lamp is level with the center

of the reflector. Push the assembly straight in until it seats,
making sure the lamp passes through the reflector opening.
Lock the 4 quarter-turn fasteners.

7 When installing a new lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp

strike counters as described on page 14.

Aligning the lamp

1 Switch on the MAC 2000 Profile II and allow it to reset.

Using either a controller or the control module, turn on the
lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface.

2 Center the hot spot vertically using the top Allen-head

adjustment screw in the center of the rear plate.

3 If there is significant hot sp ot, turn the bottom adjustment

screw counterclockwise until the light is evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the
center, or if light output is low, turn the bottom adjustment
screw clockwise until the light is bright and evenly
distributed.

4 Repeat step 2.

Replacing the lamp socket

A corroded lamp socket can lead to a bad contact, causing
damage to the lamp. Damage caused by lack of maintenance of
the lamp socket is not covered under warranty.

Inspect the lamp socket each time the lamp is changed, and
replace it if its gold coating has corroded (turned a deep black
color). We recommend routine replacement of the socket after
maximum 4000 hours of use (replace one socket for every five
lamps).

AC power 9

AC

POWER

WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains

supply shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection.

Important! Verify the power supply settings before applying power.

The chapter describes:

• Installing fuses

• Power supply adjustments for the various MAC 2000 Profile II models

• Connection to a power supply (see page 10)

• The reduced power function (see page 10)

Fuses

The MAC 2000 Profile II comes with two:

• 20 AT (time delay) main fuses for use with AC supplies of 100 - 120 volts.

• 15 A main fuses for use with AC supplies of 200 - 250 volts.
Install the appropriate fuses in the holders near the power switch.

Power supply adjustments

The MAC 2000 Profile II (identified as such by the label on the base of the product) comes with an electronic or
magnetic ballast and an auto-sensing, auto-ranging switch-mode power supply. Manual adjustments are not necessary
unless you have the magnetic ballast version.

Magnetic ballast configuration

In magnetic ballast models the ballast must be tapped correctly
for the local AC voltage and frequency. The wrong setting can
cause overheating, damage, and poor performance. The factory
settings are printed on the serial number label.

C

HANGING THE MAGNETIC BALLAST SETTINGS

1 Disconnect th e fixture from AC power. Remove the rear

base cover as shown in Figure 8.

2 To e xpose the ballast connection block, remo v e the scre ws

from each end of the side plate and tilt it down (Figure 8).

3 Find the ballast setting in Table 1.

4 Move the brown wire on the ballast connection block to

the position shown Figure 9.

5 Close the base before applying power.

Note: Magnetic ballast models only run on power supplies over 200 volts and in this operating

range the 15 amp main fuses must be installed.

Power connection

Important! Connect the MAC 2000 Profile II 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.

Reduced power function

The MAC 2000 Profile II has an automatic power reduction function, which reduces the consumption to 700W if the
shutter/dimmer is closed for more than 10 seconds. This not only increases the lamp life, but also further decreases the
overall noise emission of the fixture.

Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.

The MAC 2000 Profile II 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 shielded twisted-pa ir 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 II and any Martin

device with reversed polarity.

ONNECTING THE DATA LINK

1 Connect the DMX data input from the controller to the MAC 2000 Profile II’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.

The MAC 2000 Profile II 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 10.

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. Attach an approved safety cable to
the attachment hole in the base. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

Clamping 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. Insert 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.
