Installation

LOCATION AND ORIENTATION

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface.

For safe operation, install the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour in a location where:

• the fixture is at least 1 meters (39 inches) away from combustible materials

• the fixture is protected from rain and moisture

• there is at least 0.1 meters (4 inches) clearance around the fan and control panel

• there are no flammable materials nearby

RIGGING OR MOUNTING THE MAC 250 KRYPTON/ENTOUR

Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding.

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour 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.

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour includes an omega clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted. The clamp mounting bracket fastens to the base as shown with 1/4-turn fasteners.

Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point provided in the base. Never use

the carrying handles for secondary attachment. Always use an approved safety cable.

The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.

1 Verify that the clamps are in good condition and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Bolt

clamps to the bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer, through the 13 mm holes in the clamp mounting bracket.

2 Align the clamp mounting bracket with any 2 key slots on the base. Insert both locking pins into the slots and

turn both levers a full 1/4 turn clockwise to lock.

3 Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,

auxiliary equipment, etc.

4 Working from a stable platform, clamp the fixture to the structure.

Figure 2: Clamp mounting bracket

Setup 9

5 Install a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture securely to the structure and

anchor the cable to the dedicated attachment point on the base. The attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp.

6 Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 1 meter (39 inches) of the

fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

Connecting the serial data link

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour has locking 3-pin and 5-pin data input and output sockets that are wired for use with DMX devices with pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-) and pin 3 to hot (+).

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

1 Connect the controller’s output to the fixture’s data input.

2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting a

fixture with pin 3 hot to a fixture with pin 3 cold, use a phase-reversing adaptor.

3 To terminate the link, insert a male 120 Ω XLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture.

TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK

• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link exceeds 500 meters.

• Never use a “Y” connector 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 on the link. The termination plug, which is simply a male XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect back down the link and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

ONTROL

ANEL

You set the address and personalities, read out data, and execute service utilities from the control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 uploader.

See also the control menu table starting on page 40.

Menu navigation

The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [menu].

DMX Mode selection

The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. The DMX mode is selected using the PSET option in the fixture control menu (see “Control menu” on page 40).

SETTING THE DMX MODE

1 Apply power to the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour. Press [menu] to enter the main menu.

Tailoring performance

MOVEMENT

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour provides the three menus with options for optimizing movement to suit different applications.

•

PATI, the pan and tilt invert menu, allows you to swap the pan and tilt channels (SWAP>ON), invert pan

movement (

PINV>ON), and invert tilt movement (TINV>ON). These options can be useful in situations

Control Panel 11

where you want some fixtures to mirror the performance of others with the same DMX address, or when fixtures are not oriented as programmed.

•

PTSP, the pan/tilt speed menu, provides 3 settings: FAST, NORM and SLOW. NORM is best for

most applications.

FAST provides better performance in applications where speed is most important.

•

SCUT, the shortcuts setting which can be found under the PERS (personality) menu, determines whether

the color and gobo wheels scroll past open when changing positions. When set to

ON, the wheels can “take

a shortcut” and scroll through open when this is the shortest path to the next position. The wheels do not scroll past open when

SCUT is set to OFF.

DISPLAY

The display menu (PERS>dISP) determines whether the display remains lit or not. Select ON to have the display remain lit, or OFF to extinguish the display two minutes after the last key press.

To flip the display for easier reading, press [up] and [down] simultaneously.

The display intensity setting (

PERS>dINT) controls display brightness. You can select AUTO for

automatic dimming of the display using the built-in light sensor, or manually select an intensity level from 10 to 100.

LAMP POWER

There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (PERS>ALON) and DMX Lamp-Off (

PERS>DLoF).

There are three options for automatic lamp control: ON, OFF, and DMX. When ALON is OFF, the lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is received from the controller. When

ALON is ON, the lamp strikes

automatically after the fixture is powered on. When

ALON is set to DMX, the lamp strikes automatically

when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes automatically 15 minutes after DMX data is lost. When ALON is either ON or DMX, lamp strike timing is determined by the fixture address to prevent all lamps from striking at once.

The DMX Lamp-Off setting effects how the lamp can be turned off. When

dLOF is ON, lamp power can be

switched off by sending a DMX value from 248 to 255 on channel 1 for five seconds. When

dLOF is OFF,

the lamp-off command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.

RESET

The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (PERS>dRES) is set to 5SEC. If DMX reset is

OFF, this command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

The fixture can be reset to its factory default settings by selecting dFSE>FACT>LOAd.

Test and service utilities

DMX READOUT

The DMX log (dMXL) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems.

RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may

result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.

qUAL displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much

below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the most common cause of control problems.

STCO displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular

performance.

The remaining options under

dMXL display the DMX values received on each of the 13 channels, from

SHUT (shutter, channel 1) to EFSP (effect speed, channel 13). If the fixture does not behave as expected,

reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

MANUAL CONTROL

The manual control menu (MAN) provides commands for turning the lamp on (LON), turning the lamp off (

LoFF), and resetting the fixture (RST). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.

EFFECTS TEST

The test sequence (TSEQ>RUN) runs through all effects to provide a quick check of fixture performance. Note: the test sequence does not automatically strike the lamp. Use

MAN>LON and MAN>LoFF to

control lamp power. Press [menu] to stop the test.

FEEDBACK TOGGLE

Magnetic sensors monitor the positions of the color wheel, gobo wheel, and rotating gobos. If they detect an error, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback off (

UTIL>EFFb>OFF).

ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS

The adjustment menu (UTIL>AdJ) provides commands for positioning effects during mechanical adjustment.

EFFECT CALIBRATION

With the calibration menu (UTIL>CAL), effect positions can be fine-tuned with a software-defined offset value to compensate for small misalignments or differences between fixtures.

The default offset command (

UTIL>dFOF) erases any offsets stored in memory.

CIRCUIT BOARD TEST

UTIL>PCBT

executes a routine designed for testing the main circuit board. For service use only.

The upload mode command (UTIL>UPLd) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.

14 MAC 250 Krypton/Entour

DMX-512

CONTROL

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers.

The full protocol is available in “DMX protocol” on page 33.

The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 25.This section briefly describes the DMX-controllable effects. The DMX mode is selected using the PSET option in the fixture control menu (see “Control menu” on page 40).

Lamp power

LAMP-ON

Unless automatic lamp strike is enabled, lamp power remains off until a lamp-on command is sent from the controller.

Note: A peak of electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn for an instant when striking a discharge lamp. Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking or draw enough current to trip circuit breakers. If sending lamp-on commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.

LAMP-OFF

The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending the lamp-off command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. The lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off. Note that the lamp-off command may be disabled by the DMX Lamp-Off personality setting (PERS/dLOF).

Effect position

RESET

If an effect loses its indexing and fails to move to programmed positions, the fixture can be reset from the controller by sending the “Reset” command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. Note that the DMX reset feature may be disabled by the DMX Reset personality setting (PERS/dRES).

DIMMER / SHUTTER

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, “instant” open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens. Shutter, strobe, and pulse effects are selected on channel 1. The intensity level is selected on channel 2. 16-bit Extended mode provides fine tuning of the intensity level on channel 3.

COLOR

The color wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated randomly or continuously in both directions at different speeds. 16-bit Extended mode provides finer tuning on channel 5 of the color setting selected on channel 4.

ROTATING GOBOS

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour has 7 indexed-rotation gobo positions plus an open position. Gobos can be indexed (positioned at a defined angle), rotated continuously, or rotated and shaken (bounced). The gobo and the type of movement are selected on channel 4 (channel 6 in 16-bit Extended mode) and the index

DMX-512 control 15

angle or rotation speed are selected on channel 5 (channel 7 in 16-bit Extended mode). Fine tuning of this index position or rotation is available on channel 6 (channel 8 in 16-bit Extended mode).

The gobo wheel can also rotate continuously in both directions at variable speed.

FIXED GOBOS (MAC 250 ENTOUR ONLY)

The MAC 250 Entour provides an additional wheel with 10 fixed gobo positions (plus open). The gobo and the type of movement are selected on channel 7 (channel 9 in 16-bit Extended mode). The gobo wheel can also rotate continuously in both directions at variable speed.

FOCUS

The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity using channel:

• 7 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 9 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 8 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 10 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

ROTATING PRISM

The prism is controlled using channel:

• 8 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 10 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 9 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 11 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

The prism may be inserted and removed from the light path. It rotates in both directions at varying speeds.

PAN AND TILT

Head pan and tilt are controlled on channels

• 9-12 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 12-15 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 10-13 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 13-16 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

The course control channel sets 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 fine-tunes the position set by the course channel.

Speed control

The speed control channels are:

• 13 & 14 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 16 & 17 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 14 & 15 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 17 & 18 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

TRACKING CONTROL

Tracking control for pan/tilt and the various effects is enabled by setting the speed channels to 0.

With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by the cross-fade time between two positions or scenes. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the rate required to achieve the fade. The fixture “tracks” the changes and averages them with a digital filter algorithm to provide smooth movement.

16 MAC 250 Krypton/Entour

VECTOR CONTROL

Alternatively, with vector control, movement speed is determined by the selected speed values on the speed channels.This provides a way to control speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control also provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates.

When using vector control, the cross-fade time must be 0.

BLACKOUT

When “blackout while moving” is selected on the speed channels, the shutter closes when the effect moves to make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.

PERSONALITY OVERRIDES

The following channel provide tracking values that allow you to override the pan/tilt speed personality setting (PTSP in the control menu)

• 13 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 16 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 14 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 17 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

The following channel provide tracking values that allow you to override the shortcuts setting (SCUT in the control menu).

• 14 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 17 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Krypton

• 15 in 16-bit mode on the MAC 250 Entour

• 18 in 16-bit Extended mode on the MAC 250 Entour

Service 29

ERVICE

The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician.

Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get

very hot - up to 120° C (248° F). Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow the it to cool for at least 45 minutes before handling.

Do not removing covers while the fixture is powered on as this exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure.

Lamp replacement

Lamp life will vary; the rated life is an average figure that is based on the manufacturer’s test cycle. For maximum lamp life, avoid excessive strikes and always allow the lamp to burn for at least 5 minutes before turning it off.

To reduce the risk of lamp explosion, which may damage the fixture, never exceed the lamp’s rated life (2000 hours) by more than 25 percent.

Replace the lamp when:

• it strikes with difficulty or not at all, or is in any other way defective

• usage exceeds the manufacturer’s “replace before” hours. See Table 5.

COMPATIBLE LAMPS

A Philips MSD 250/2 lamp is included installed. The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour lamp options are shown in the table below. Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture.

1 Locate the lamp access cover at the back of the fixture head and remove the Phillips screws.

2 Pull out the lamp socket.

3 If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket.

4 Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not touch the glass), align the small pin on the lamp with the

small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely. Make sure that the 4 small projections on the base contact the face of the socket.

5 Clean the glass bulb with the cloth supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A

clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol may also be used.

6 Insert the lamp into the fixture with as little twist in the lamp wires as possible.

7 Align the screw holes and fasten the lamp access plate with 2 screws.

8 If replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp strike counters as described on page 11.

9 Strike the lamp (after setup is complete) and adjust it for optimum performance by turning the 3 adjustment

screws one at a time until the brightest part of the beam is centered.

10 Adjust the lamp position if necessary by turning the 3 lamp adjustment screws to the middle of their range

using a 3 mm Allen wrench.

Cleaning

OPTICAL COMPONENTS

Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface on dichroic filters is achieved by means of special multi-layer coatings and even small scratches may be visible. Residues from cleaning fluids can bake onto components and ruin them.

1 Allow the components to cool completely.

2 Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol. A generous amount of regular glass cleaner may also

be used, but no residues may remain.

3 Rinse with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as Kodak Photoflo will

help prevent streaking and spotting.

4 Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air.

Figure 5: Lamp installation

Service 31

FAN

To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fan be cleaned regularly. It can be cleaned with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.

Lubrication

Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other lubricant is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove excess and do not get oil on other parts.

1 Check the focus mechanism and apply a drop of lubricant to the 3 metal slides if movement is rough.

2 Lubricate the rotating-gobo bearings if movement is rough on slow rotation or if they become noisy. Apply a

few drops of oil to each bearing from the lamp side of the wheel.

Replacing fuses

MAIN FUSE

The main fuse holder is built in to the mains input socket. Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating!

1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket.

2 Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse.

3 Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating. The fuse rating is listed on serial number label.

4 Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

POWER SUPPLY FUSES

There are two fuses for the low-voltage power supplies located on the printed circuit board. If one or more of the green LEDs on the PCB does not light, one of these fuses may be blown. If all three LEDs are lit, the low-voltage power supplies are functioning correctly.

Have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician if the problem persists.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power.

2 Remove the left-side yoke cover (when looking at the head in the text in the upright position from the back

as indicated in the illustration) to access the PCB.

3 Carefully remove and check the two fuses located in the bottom of the PCB (see “Circuit board connections”

on page 46). Replace as necessary with fuses of the same size and rating (see page 47).

4 Re-attach the yoke cover.

Updating software

The latest MAC 250 Krypton/Entour firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX interface.

Note: Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin Matrix 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.

NORMAL UPDATE

To update fixture software, connect an upload device to the fixture just like a DMX controller and perform a DMX mode upload as described in the uploader’s documentation. There is no need to isolate the MAC 250 Krypton/Entours from other types of fixtures on the serial link.

When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour performs a check-sum test of the flash memory and then resets. If the firmware is corrupted a check-sum error (

CSER) occurs. A

few seconds later the fixture displays

UPLd and is ready for a new DMX-mode upload.

In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds to force the check-sum test. You can repeat the DMX-mode upload as soon as

UPLd is

displayed.

BOOT SECTOR UPDATE

If the normal update procedure fails or the software update notes call for a boot-sector update, install new software as follows.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power.

2 Remove the left-side yoke cover (when looking at the head in the text in the upright position from the back

as indicated in the illustration) to access the PCB.

3 The boot sector jumper is located next to the plug for the control

panel data cable. Move the jumper to the Init setting. Verify that the Flash Write jumper is in the Enable position. See the diagram in “Circuit board connections” on page 46.

4 Apply power and perform a boot-mode upload as described in

the uploader manual.

5 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the jumper back to

the Lock setting.

6 Re-attach the yoke cover.

Table 6: Error messages

Troubleshooting 45

ROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Probable cause(s) Remedy

One or more of the fixtures is completely dead.

No power to fixture. • Check that power is switched on and cables

are plugged in.

Primary fuse blown. • Replace fuse.

Secondary fuse(s) blown (located on PCB inside base).

• Check fuses on PCB and replace.

Fixtures reset correctly but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller.

The controller is not connected. • Connect controller.

XLR pin-out of the controller does not match pin-out of the first fixture on the link (i.e. signal is reversed).

• Install a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link.

Fixtures reset correctly but some respond erratically or not at all to the controller.

Poor data quality • Check data quality (page 12). If much under

100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cabling, missing termination, or a defective fixture disturbing the link.

Bad data link connection • Inspect connections and cables. Correct

poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables.

Data link not terminated with 120Ω

termination plug.

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

Incorrect addressing of the fixtures. • Check address setting.

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

• Bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained: unplug both connectors and connect them directly together.

• Have the defective fixture serviced by a qualified 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.

Shutter closes suddenly. The color wheel, gobo wheel, or a

gobo has lost its index position and the fixture is resetting the effect.

• Contact Martin technician for service if the problem persists.
