MAC III Quadray Module™
Installation and Control Guide

Introduction

This Guide explains how to install the Martin MAC III Quadray Module™, P/N 91614042, on a Martin
MAC III AirFX™ fixture and control the Quadray functions via DMX.

Installation takes only a few minutes. If you keep the standard components you remove when you install
the Quadray module, the Quadray components can be uninstalled and the fixture returned to standard
configuration at any time.

Warning! Follow all the safety precautions in the MAC III AirFX user manual and use the manual
for reference when installing the Quadray Module and using the modified product. The user
manual is supplied with fixtures, but check that you have the latest revision of the user manual.
This is available for download from the Product Support page for the MAC III AirFX at
www.martin.com

Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool for at least 2 hours and 45
minutes before starting work.

Warning! The Quadray Module must be installed by qualified professional technicians only.
Read all of this Installation Guide carefully before starting to install the module.

Important! Make sure that the front of the head does not face the sun or any other strong light
source directly for longer than a few seconds at any time. The lens can focus the sun's rays
inside the fixture, causing internal damage and creating a possible fire risk

Important! Do not use concentrated alcohol solutions, abrasive products or solvents to clean
the components in the Quadray Module. If wiping with a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with
distilled water is not effective, damp the cloth with distilled water containing 20% isopropyl
alcohol in solution.

If you have any questions about how to install the Quadray Module or use it safely, please contact your
local Martin distributor (see www.martin.com/distributors for details) or call the Martin 24-hour service
hotline on [phone], or in the USA on 1-888-tech-180.

Software compatibility

MAC III AirFX firmware version 1.3 or later is required for operation with the Quadray Module. The
latest version of the MAC III AirFX firmware is available for download from the MAC III AirFX Product
Support page on the Martin™ website at www.martin.com
