section 3

AC POWER CONNECTION

This section describes how to ta p the po wer supply fo r local co nditio ns and h ow to wi re the mai ns lead. Do n ot con nect
the MAC 300 to an electrical dimmer system: doing so can damage the electron ics.

WARNING!

For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be grounded

(earthed). The AC supply shall have overload and ground -fault protection.

Changing voltage and frequency settings

The factory settings are printed on the serial number label under the base. These settings must match the local AC
power supply as closely as possible! Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly

reduced lamp life, overheating and/or damage to the fixture.

1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Unscrew and remove the cover from top of the base on the side
closest to the power inlet.

2.

Locate the 7-terminal connection block. Move the wires to the terminals that most closely match
local conditions as shown in Table 1. If the local voltage falls halfway between settings, use the
higher voltage setting. For example, use the 120 V setting if your voltage is 110 V.

3.

Replace the cover.

Wiring the mains lead

1.

Install a grounding-type cord cap on the mains lead. Connect the yellow/green wire to ground (earth),
the brown wire to live (hot), and the blue wire to neutral. Table 2 shows some possible pin identification
schemes; if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

2.

Ver ify that the feed cable is undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected
devices.

Data Connection

section 4

DATA CONNECTION

This section describes how t o connect fixtu res to a control ler. The MAC 300’s 3-pin XLR connectors are configure d
for use with DMX-512 controller s. To reconfigure them for use wi th Martin Protocol controllers, see “Chang ing the
XLR pin-out” on page 19.

XLR PIN-OUT

Pin 1: shield Pin 2: signal - Pin 3: signal +

Recommended cable

Use cable designed for RS-485 devices with low capacitan ce and a charact eristic impeda nce of 85 to 1 50 ohms. The
cable must be electrically shielded and have at least 1 pair of twisted wires. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm

2

(24

AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.), and 0.322 mm

2

(26 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.).

Adaptors

As many devices have 5- pin connectors and others have 3-pin connectors with reverse d si gnal polarity, adaptor cables
as shown below may be required. Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link.

Building the data link

1. DMX controllers:

Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If controller has a 5-pin female

socket, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).

Martin RS-485 protocol controllers

: First, connect a 3-pin “swapper” cable (P/N 11820006) to the
controller’ s d ata out put; the n, conn ect a regu lar data cab le t o the swapper cable. Alternativel y, reconfig­ure the XLR pin-out as described on page19.

2.

If convenient, you may split the link into branches using a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel
Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Do not use a “Y” connector to split the link.

3.

Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture. Plug the cable into the fixture’s data
input socket.

4.

Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If con­necting to another type of fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3 cold), insert a swapper cable
between the two fixtures.

5.

Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
If more fixtures are required, use another controller output, if available, or an RS-485 amplifier.

6.

Terminate the link

by inserting a male termination plug (P/N 91613017) into the data output of
the last fixture. A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor
soldered across pins 2 and 3. If a splitter is used, each branch of the link must be terminated.

Operation

section 7

OPERATION

This section describes the MAC 300’s controllable effects and how personality settings affect their behavio r. Selecting
personalities from the control panel is described in the previous section.

Martin RS-485 control

The MAC 300 will be controllable with the Martin 3032 controller when version 2.07 of the 3032 software is released.
To respond to the controller, either Martin mode must be selected or automatic protocol detection must be enabled.

DMX-512 control

The MAC 300 may be op e r at ed with USITT DMX512 co ntrollers in 4 different modes that mix ve c to r and /o r tr ac k i ng
control with 8-bit or 16-bit pan/tilt resolution in different combinations.

Tracking versus vector control

With tracking control the time it takes an effect to move from one position to another is controlled by programming a
fade time on the controller. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the
rate required to achieve the fade. The MAC 300 fo llows or “trac ks” the changes, and averages them with a digital filter
algorithm to ensure smooth movement at all speeds.

With vector control you set the fade speed on a separate speed channe l. Thi s provi des a way t o fade effec ts with con-
trollers that do not have programmable fade times. With controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates, vector
control provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds.

Tracking control can be enabled in vector mode by setting one or both of the speed channels to “tracking speed.” When
setting a fade speed, though, the controller fade time must be 0, i.e., the position snaps from one value to the next.

Vector control also provides a special “blackout speed” and o verrid e s of th e shortcut and pan/tilt speed personalit y se t­tings.

8-bit versus 16-bit pan/tilt resolution

With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, pan and tilt are divided into 256 equal increments. Finer position control and smoother
movement is provided in the 16-bit modes, which divide pan i nto 40,192 positions and tilt into 39,424 positions.

Controllable effects

All mechanical effects are reset to a home position when the fixture i s powered up and th ey can also be reset fro m the
controller. The DMX Reset function (

PERS/dRES

), when set to off, prevents accidental resets by adding the

requirement that each CMY channel be set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.

An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the CMY wheels and the color wheel.
Though this feature can be disabled by turning Effects Feedback (

PERS/EFFb

) off, doing so is not recommended.

Lamp

With the default setting, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is sent from the controller. Note: A peak of
electric current that can be man y times the operating curren t is drawn for an instant when striking a disc harge 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 in tervals.

The MAC 300 automatically strikes the lamp within 90 seconds of being powered on only if the Automatic Lamp On
setting (

PERS/ALON

) is turned on. A delay determined by the fixture address staggers lamp strikes to prevent

excessiv e cu r r e nt dr a w.

The lamp can be turned off from the controller. Note: the lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off.
Accidental “lamp off” commands can be prevented by turning the DMX Lamp Off setting (

PERS/dLOF

) off.

Operation

1 6

Dimmer / shutter

The mechanical dimmer/shut ter system pr ovides full, high-resolu tion dim ming, and ran dom or variabl e strobe effects
up to 14 Hz.

The Dimmer Mode (

PERS

/

dMOd

) setting allows you to sel ect betw een linear o r simulate d tungsten fade curves.

For simulated tungsten dimming, the fade time must be set to 0.

CMY subtractive color mixing

The CMY color mixing system is based on grad uated cya n, magent a, and yello w color fil ters. A contin uous range of
colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%. Random CMY color mixing at three
speeds can be selected on DMX channel 6.

The Shortcuts setting (

PERS/SCUT

) determines whether or not the CMY wheels always take the shortest path to

the next position; this setting may be o ver ridden on the speed channel in vector mode.

Color

The color wheel provides a 5500 to 2900K color temperature correction (CTC) filter, a UV filter, and 4 saturated dich­roic color filters. The filters are replaceable; please see “Changing color filters” on page 18, and additional colors are
available from Martin; please see “Accessories” on page 26.

The wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated continuously in both
directions at different speeds.

The Shortcuts setting (

PERS/SCUT

) determines whether or not the wheel always takes the shortest path to the
next position; this setting ma y be overridden on the speed ch annel in vector mode. Setting the effects speed to “black­out” causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel is moving.

Frost

The variable frost filter softens and widens the beam. The beam field angle is 18° with no frost applied and increases to
35° with the frost applied fully.

Pan and tilt

The yoke pans 540° an d th e he a d tilts 2 6 5°. Mo vem en t ma y b e op tim ize d fo r sp eed by settin g the pan/tilt speed setting
(

PERS

/

PTSP

) to

FAST

, or for smoothness by setting it to

SLOW

. This setting may be overridden on the speed

channel in vector mode. Setting the speed to “blackout” causes the shutter to close while the head is moving.

The pan and tilt channels can be inverted and/or swapped in DMX mode with the pan/tilt personality settings (

PERS

/

PATI

).

Basic Service

section 8

BASIC SERVICE

The MAC 300 operates under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. Excessive dust,
grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overhe ating and damage that is not covered by the
warranty. The fixture requires regular maintenance to keep performing at its peak. The schedule will depend on the

application and sh ould be d iscussed wit h your Mar tin distr ibutor. Refer any service that you are not qua lified t o per­form to a professional technician.

WARNING!

Removing co v er s exposes dangerous live ele ctrical circu its , hot su rfaces, and a

lamp under high pressure. Procedures requiring the removal of any cover shall

be performed by professional users or technicians only. Disconnect the fixture

from AC power and allow it to cool before removing any cover.

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 sma ll scrat ches may be visible. Residues f rom cleani ng fluid s can bak e onto com ponents an d 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.

Fans

To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fans be cleaned of dust and dirt periodically. Use a soft brush, vac­uum, or compressed air.

Changing color filters

Handle color filters by their edges as much as possible and be careful not to chip the edges.

1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool.

2.

Remove the top cover from the head as shown in Figure 5.

3.

Rotate the color wheel until the filter is aligned with the access hole in the chassis plate.

4.

Gently tilt the filter out of the clips as shown in Figure 6 and remove.

5.

Installation is the reverse. Turn the filter so that the coated side faces the lamp.

Replacing fuses

Power sup ply f use s

The fuses for each of the 3 low-voltage power supplies are located on th e printed circuit board. If one of the circuit
board LEDs does not light, one of these fuses may be blown.

1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the 2 Philips screw s from the plastic cover on the arm
opposite the side with the visible motor and pull off the cover.

2.

Locate and replace the defective fuse with one of the same rating. The fuses are shown on the
PCB layout diagram; their values are listed on page 27.

3.

Replace the cover before applying power.

Figure 6: Color filter removal and positioning

Uncoated side towards stageCoated side towards lamp

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 filter cannot be seen when looking through the coated
side.

When an object is held up to the uncoated side there is
a space between the object and its reflection. The back
edge of the filter can be seen when looking through the
uncoated side.

Basic Service

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. Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse.

2.

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

3.

Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

Changing the XLR pin-out

The signal polarity of the XLR connectors can be reversed,
allowing the fixture to be connected directly to those Martin
devices with reversed polarity (pin 3 -). Optionally, a phase­reversing cable may be used.

1.

Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the 2
Philips screws from the cover on the arm opposite
the side with the visible motor and pull off the cover.

2.

Position the jumpers on PL 233 and PL 234 for
the desired XLR pin-out as shown.

3.

Replace the cover before applying power.

Optimizing reflector alignment

The MAC 300 reflector is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, however, fine adjustment may
improve performance.

1.

Strike the lamp and shine the light on a flat surface.

2.

See Figure 1. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) by turning the 3 adjustment
screws one at a time with a 3 mm Allen wrench. If there is no hot-spot, adjust the reflector until
the light is even.

3.

To reduce a hot-spot, “push” the reflector out by turning all 3 screws counterclockwise 1/4-turn at
a time until the light is evenly distr ibuted.

4.

If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is
too far back in the reflector. “Pull” the reflector in by turning the screws clockwise 1/4-turn at a
time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.

Updating software

The latest CPU control software for the MAC 300 is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin web site. This
software is uploaded to the MAC 300 using the Martin MPBB1 Uploader. The display module and feedback system
software are not updated this way.

Normal upload

Update software is uploaded usin g a M artin uploader such as the MPBB1. The uploader is connected to th e fixt ure ju st
like a controller. Under normal conditions, software can be installed from a rem ote l oc atio n - the re is n o ne e d to se t t he
MAC 300 to boot mode. Please refer to the uploader manual for further instructions.

Boot mode upload

If the data is corrupted during transmission, a check-sum error (

CSER

) occurs and after 15 seconds the fixture

switches to boot mode (

UPLd

) and is ready for a boot mode upload as described in the uploader manual.

If a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be turned off for at least 10 seconds before a new upload can be
attempted. When powered on, a check-sum error occurs and the fixture goes into boot mode, ready for a second upload
attempt. Select boot mode upload on the uploader.

If there is no functional softwa re in m e mory, the fixture must be set to boot mode manually. If the control panel works,
select

UPLd

from the

UTIL

menu and confi r m w he n
