7. Tighten the rigging clamps securely to the structure.

8. 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.

When rigging the fixture within 1 meter of other fixtures, avoid illuminating

one fixture with another. The intense light can melt plastic parts.

Connecting the serial link

Tips for building a serial link

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.

4. 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.

Never use the carrying handles for secondary attach-

OPERATION

This section describes the MAC 500/E’s controllable ef fects and the option s for custom izing th em for yo ur appli cation . Option selection is described in the next section.

Martin RS-485 control

The MAC 500/E may be controlled with the Martin 3032 controller with version 2.04 or later software. To respond to the controller, either the p rotocol setting ( or automatic protocol detection ( dummy command and wait 1 second to allow the fixture to respond before sending real commands.

DMX-512 control

The MAC 500/E may be operated with USITT DMX512 controllers in 4 modes that combine tracking or tracking/vector movement with 8-bit or 16-bit pan/tilt resolution.

Tracking control

Tracking is available in all 4 DMX modes. With tracking control, the controller calculates the positions along the path between an effect’s starting point and it’s ending point. It uses the fade tim e to calculate the change (delt a) of each update or refresh, which the fixture “tracks.” For smooth movement with any fade time, the MAC 500/E has a filter algorithm that looks at several position updates (samples), and calculates the ideal speed.

PSET) must be set to Martin (MART) as described in the previous section,

SPEC/AUTO) must be enabled. If automatic protocol detection is enab le d, se nd a

This algorithm is adjustable to compensate for controllers that calculate position changes unevenly. In most cases the default settings work well.

If movement is not satisfactory there are 2 parame ters that can be ad justed. The first is the calculation method used and is select ed un der change in DMX; it is the best ch oice with controll ers that calcul ate inte rmediate po sitions tha t are clos e to the lin e of travel. MO d2 uses the real value of the DMX delta to calculate speed and is better if the intermediate positions stray 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 10 under SPEC/TRAC/CA L. Increasing the number of samples increases the distance over which speed is calculated, making move ment smoother but less responsive to sudden changes.

The ideal settings for both parameters will vary from controller to controller: experiment for best results. The real value algorithm (

SPEC/TRAC/MOdE. MOd1, the default, calculates speed based on the absolute value of the

MOd2) is recommended when using the MAC 500/E with the Martin Lighting Director system.

Vector control

With vector control, available in DMX modes 3 and 4, the fixture is given just 1 position - the end position - and a speed, which is set on a separate channel. )RUVPRRWKPRYHPHQW WK H ID GH WLPH PXVWEHVHWWRLH WK HHIIHFW³EXPSV´ RU³VQDSV´IURPRQHSRVLWLRQWRWKHQH[W With controllers that do not have programmable fade times, vector control provides a way to set speed. Because the end poin t and speed are kn own from the begin ning, vecto r control resu lts in smooth movement regardless the fade time or the controller’s processing power.

When blackout speed is enabled, effects move at full speed. The dimmer/shutter closes while the effects move to make the transition invisible . Dimmer/shutter strobe and pulse effects, however, override the blackout command.

8-bit versus 16-bit pan/tilt resolution

With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, the pan and tilt are divided into 256 equal increments. Finer position control and smoother movement is provided in the 16-bit modes, which divide the full pan range into 32,768 increments and the full tilt range into 45,567 increments.

Controllable effects

All moving effects are reset to a “home” po sition when the fixture is powere d up. The fixture can also be res et via DMX if DMX reset ( the MAC 500/E even if this feature is disabled; see the DMX protocol for details.

An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the position of the color wheels, fixed-gobo wheel, and rotating gobos.

Address and protocol selection

One of the operating modes shown below must be selected. Factors to consider when selecting a mode will depend on your controller and are discussed in the previous section. Maximum flexibility is provided in mode 4.

Each fixture must be assigned its own channels to receive instructions from the controller. The address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used. Ad dresses are independent of the physical link: t hey may be set in any convenient order. Two MAC 500/Es may share the sa me address; however, they will receive the same instructions and independent control will not be possible.

GOBOS AND COLOR FILTERS

The MAC 500/E has 5 rotating positions for glass or metal gobos, 9 static positions for metal gobos, and 9 positions for interchangeable dichroic glass color filters in special holders. This section describes how to replace these items.

Gobo specifications

For best results, MAC 500/E gobos should meet the following specifications.

Glass gobos

• Coating: ................................. ......................... .......................... ............. dichroic or enhanced aluminum

• Material: ........................................................................................high temperature, Borofloat or better

• Thickness:................................. ................................................ ... .... ... .................................. 1.1- 4.0 mm

• Outside diameter:........................................................................................................27.9 + 0 /- 0.3 mm

• Maximum image diameter:............................................................................................................23 mm

Glass gobos should be made wi th the ar twork rev ersed on the coa ted side. T his o rientati on give s the be st focus but is not critical. We do not recommend using chrome-coated glass gobos in the MAC 500/E. They absorb more heat than enhanced aluminum gobos and are likely to break or oxidize. If used, their lifetime can be extended somewhat by inserting the gobos with the coated side towards the lamp.

Metal gobos

• Material: ...................................................................................................................................aluminum

• Thickness:................................................................................................................................... ..0.5 mm

• Outside diameter:........................................................................................................27.9 + 0 /- 0.3 mm

• Maximum image diameter:............................................................................................................23 mm

*Steel metal gobos may give acceptable short term performance. Gobos less than 0.5 mm thick may need to be secured with a drop of high temperature silicone adhesive when used in the static positions.

Loose rotating gobo fix

If a rotating gobo becomes a little loose and spins in the holder (losing its indexed position), remove the gobo, apply three dots of red, high-temperature silicone (P/N 37001201) in the holder recess, and let the silicone harden before replacing the gobo. The additional friction will keep the gobo from spinning.

MAC 500/E User Manual

Page 19

Changing rotating gobos

Disconnect the fixture from AC power before remo ving any cover.

Without tools

1. Remove the top head cover as described under “Accessing parts” on page 21.

2. Turn the gobo wheel until the easiest access to the desired gobo position is obtained. Turn the

color wheel until the open position is over the gobo position.

3. Tilt the head so the lens points down. Push the gobo and retaining spring out of the back of the holder. Avoid letting the spring and gobo fall into the head.

4. Insert the new gobo. See below for proper gobo orientation.

5. Insert the retaining spring with the bend facing out, away from the gobo. Working through the

open position in the color wheel, push the gobo and spring all the way down into the gobo holder.

With needlenose pliers

With a little practice, this method is faster than the above method.

1. Turn the gobo wheel until the easiest access to the desired gobo position is obtained. Turn the color wheel until the open position is over the gobo position.

2. Turn the gobo holder until you can see the tab on the holder retaining spring.

3. Grip the tab on the retaining spring with a pair of small (needlenose) pliers. Place your index fin-

ger over the spring to prevent it from falling into the fixture. Open the spring and remove it from the gobo holder.

4. Remove the gobo holder from the bearing by pulling it forwards towards the lens.

5. Push the gobo and gobo retaining spring out of the holder.

6. Insert the new gobo. See below for proper gobo orientation. Insert the gobo retaining spring.

The bend in the spring faces out, away from the gobo. Push the gobo and spring all the way down into the gobo holder.

7. Replace the gobo holder in the bearing. Do not force the holder into the bearing: it will go in easily if it is installed straight.

8. Grip the retaining ring by the tab with the pliers. Place your thumb on the back of the gobo holder to press it all the way down in the bearing and use your index finger to hold the other end of the spring on the holder. Open the spring and place it in the groove.

WARNING!

Changing static gobos

1. Remove the top head cover as described under “Accessing parts” on page 21.

2. Manually turn the fixed-gobo wheel until the desired gobo is accessible. Turn the color wheel

until the open position aligns with the gobo.

3. Using your forefinger, release the gobo by pushing in back slightly towards the lamp. Grasp the gobo by bringing your thumb to the back, and slide the gobo out of the wheel.

4. To place a gobo in the wheel, first turn the gobo so that the black side faces the front and the reflective side faces the lamp. Then, using your thumb and forefinger, slide the gobo into position between the spring clips on the back of the gobo wheel.

5. Verify that the gobo is fully seated in the recessed groove by gently sliding it back and forth. If the gobo is seated correctly, you will be able to feel a tiny amount of movement.

An optional wire (P/N 50 300502) for secondary attachment of the plastic shells is available. Two wires are required per fixture. The wire has a closed loop a t one end and a hook at the other end. To secure the shell:

1. Remove the head shells as described above.

2. Place the closed loop under a washer and screw in the

lamp housing counterweight as shown. Replace the washer and screw and tighten well.

3. Loop the wire around a cross rib between the shell ventilation slots and hook the wire to itself. Do not

attach the hook directly to the plastic rib.

Maintenance schedule

The maintenance schedule will depend heavily on the application and should be discussed with your Martin technician. Cleaning, lubricating and servicing the fixture is best left to a qualified technician. He has the knowledge, experience, tools, lubricants and other materials required to keep the MAC 500/E performing at its best.

Maintenance and Basic Service

Cleaning

Optical components

Be very careful when cleaning the optical components. The colored surface on the 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 componen ts 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.

Fans

To ensure proper cooling of the fixtu re, it is important that the fans are free of dust. Vacuum or gently wipe the fans clean if they are dirty.

Lubrication

Use only Martin silicone lubricant, P /N 37302003 (50 0 ml) or P/N 37 30200 4 (200 ml, in applicato r bottle ), to lubric ate the MAC 500/E. No other lubricant is appr oved for use. Be caref ul not to get oil on dri ve belts or other parts.

The focus mechanism slides back and forth on 2 meta l pins. These pins must be lubri cat ed pe riodica lly with a drop or two of silicone oil. Check the focus mec han ism whene ver th e he ad is op en for service and lubricate the slides if move ment is rough or noisy, or if the slides seem dry.

Check the rotatin g-gobo bearings whenever the unit is being serviced and lubricat e them if movement is rough or noisy. Apply a few drops of oil t o the bea rings from ab ove. Avoid applying exc ess lu brican t and be carefu l not to get oil on the other parts.

Depending on conditions, these bearings may need to be cleaned and lubricated periodically by a qualified technician.

Apply several drops of silicone lubricant.

Apply 1 - 2 drops of silicone lubricant.
