Introduction
This User Guide covers the Martin MAC Viper Wash™, including the MAC Viper Wash DX™ model. The MAC Viper Wash DX offers all the effects and performance of the standard MAC Viper Wash, but it is supplied with an IBD projection module installed that contains internal barndoors, a motorized iris and a color wheel. The IBD module from the MAC Viper Wash DX can be installed in a standard MAC Viper Wash.
This User Guide is a supplement to the Safety and Installation Manual that is supplied with the MAC Viper Wash. The User Guide and the Safety and Installation Manual are available for download as one file from the MAC Viper Wash Product Support page on the Martin™ website at www.martin.com. The User Guide contains information that is mainly of interest for lighting designers and operators, whereas the Safety and Installation Manual contains important information for all users, especially installers and technicians.
Before using the MAC Viper Wash, check the latest version of the Installation and Safety Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section.
We recommend that you check the Martin™ website regularly for updated documentation. A revised version of this User Guide will become available each time we can improve the quality of the information in the guide and each time a new firmware version is released that contains changes or new features. Each time this guide is revised, any important changes will be listed on page 2 so that you can keep track of updates.

Effects 5
Effects
This section gives details of the effects that can be controlled via DMX. See the DMX protocol table on page 19 for details of the channels used to control them.
Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control signal. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.
Shutter and strobe effects
The MAC Viper Wash’s dimmer/shutter provides instant blackout and snap open as well as regular or random strobe and pulse effects with variable speed from approx. 2 Hz to 10 Hz.
Dimming
The dimmer/shutter provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent fading. Fine dimming control is available in extended 16-bit mode.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and CTO
The amount of cyan, magenta, yellow and CTO (Color Temperature Control Orange) applied to the MAC Viper Wash’s light output can be varied from zero to 100%.
The CTO flags installed as standard allow color temperature to be made warmer from 0 to +145 mireds, giving a reduction in color temperature from 6000 K at zero CTO to 3200 K at full CTO.
Focus and zoom
The focus system allows a sharp or soft beam edge. Focus range varies with zoom angle. At the narrowest zoom angle, nearest focus is approximately 6 meters (20 feet). As the zoom angle is widened, the nearest focus distance is reduced, down to approximately 2 meters (6.8 ft.), and far focus can be set to approximately infinity.
The separate zoom lens varies the focused beam angle from 10° to 44° with the standard lens installed.
Zoom/focus linking
Focus can be linked to zoom so that it automatically adjusts to match changes in zoom angle. Linked zoom/focus works within 3 distance ranges (figures are approximate):
• Near (5 - 10 meters)
• Medium (10 - 20 meters)
• Far (20 meters - infinity) To link zoom and focus, select a distance range using the Fixture control/settings DMX channel or FOCUS
TRACKING in the control panel PERSONALITY menu. Then adjust focus to obtain the required degree of sharpness. Linking is now enabled and focus will auto-adjust.
Pan and tilt
Coarse and fine pan and tilt control are available in both basic 16-bit and extended 16-bit modes.

Effects in the MAC Viper Wash DX
The MAC Viper Wash DX is supplied with an IBD projection module installed that contains internal rotating barndoors, a motorized iris and a color wheel.
The IBD module from the MAC Viper Wash DX can be installed in a standard MAC Viper Wash. Installation and uninstallation typically take about three minutes. For installation instructions, see the MAC Viper Wash Safety and Installation Manual supplied with fixtures and available for download together with this User Guide from www.martin.com
Internal barndoors
The internal barndoors in the MAC Viper Wash DX comprise a twin-blade system with independent control of each blade. The entire barndoor assembly can be rotated through 200°. The width of the aperture obtained with the barndoors can be modified using the iris. Using barndoors opening and rotation in combination with the iris gives full control of beam shape and angle.
Iris
The iris in the MAC Viper Wash DX can be set to a static diameter, or regular and random pulsing effects can be set with variable speed.
Color wheel
The color wheel in the MAC Viper Wash DX has seven color filters that can be applied as split colors or in full-color steps. The color wheel can also be scrolled continuously, applying the color filters in sequence with control of color wheel speed and direction. Color filters can also be applied at random at fast, medium or slow speed:
As standard, the MAC Viper Wash DX is supplied with the following color filters installed:
• Slot 1 - Blue 101 - P/N 46404500
• Slot 2 - Green 203 SP - P/N 46404510

Control panel operations
You can configure individual fixture settings (such as the MAC Viper Wash’s DMX address), read out data, execute service operations and view error messages using the fixture’s backlit graphic display and control panel.
When the MAC Viper Wash is powered on, it first boots and resets, then it displays its DMX address (or its fixture ID number, if one has been set) and any status messages (see page 26) in the display A.
The display can be set to automatically rotate to match standing or hanging fixture orientation in the
PERSONALITY DISPLAY menu or the Shortcuts menu (see “Shortcuts” on page 9).
Using the control panel
• Click (i.e. press in towards the fixture base once) the jog wheel B to access the menus.
• Rotate the jog wheel to scroll up and down menus.
• Click the jog wheel to enter a menu or make a selection.
• The currently selected item in a menu is indicated by a star .
• Press the Escape button C to step backwards through the menus.
Status LED
An LED D next to the jog wheel indicates fixture status depending on the color displayed and DMX status depending on whether the LED flashes or lights constantly:
GREEN: All parameters normal.
AMBER: Warning (service interval exceeded, for example). If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the warning message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is
set to Silent, the display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the warning message.
RED: Error detected. If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the error message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is set
to Silent, the display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the error message.
FLASHING: No DMX signal detected.
CONSTANT: Valid DMX signal detected.
If an error has been detected and the LED is red when the fixture is powered off, the LED will continue to flash red slowly. This feature allows easy identification of fixtures that require service intervention even if fixtures are disconnected from power.
Battery power
The display and control panel are powered by the MAC Viper Wash’s onboard battery. This gives access to the most important functions in the control panel – including DMX addressing – when the fixture is not connected to AC power.

To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to power, press the Escape button. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no jog wheel activity and the control panel is de-activated after 1 minute with no jog wheel activity. Press the Escape button again to re-activate.The status LED flashes fixture status slowly when the fixture is not connected to power. The LED draws a minute current that can be sustained for several months without flattening the battery.
Shortcuts
If you hold the Escape button pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important commands appears. Select a command with the jog wheel and click the jog wheel to activate, or press Escape to cancel.
RESET ALL resets the whole fixture
LAMP ON/OFF strikes or douses the lamp.
ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Viper Wash display 180°.
Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the MAC Viper Wash off and on or by updating the fixture software:
• DMX address
• DMX Protocol setting
• Fixture ID
• All personality settings (pan/tilt and pan/tilt limit, linked zoom/focus, lamp cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, DMX lamp off, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all display settings, error mode)
• Factory settings
• Fixture info (resettable power-on, lamp-on and lamp strike counters)
• All Service settings (adjust, calibration, firmware)
These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Service mode
Holding the jog wheel and Escape button pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the fixture into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display. Service mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during lamp adjustment. Cycling power and allowing the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.
DMX address
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. If you give two MAC Viper Washs the same address, they will behave identically. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.
DMX addressing is limited, depending which DMX mode the fixture is in, to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without enough control channels for the fixture.
DMX address setting
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
1. Click the jog wheel to enter the main menu.
2. Click the jog wheel to enter DMX ADDRESS, then rotate the jog wheel to scroll to the desired address
and click the jog wheel to save.
3. Press the Escape button to step back to the main menu.

10 MAC Viper Wash User Guide
DMX modes
The CONTROL MODE menu lets you set the MAC Viper Wash to one of the two DMX operating modes, basic 16-bit and extended 16-bit:
• Basic 16-bit mode offers coarse control of all effects plus fine control of pan and tilt.
• Extended 16-bit mode provides all the features of basic 16-bit mode plus fine control of the dimmer.
The MAC Viper Wash uses 18 DMX channels in basic 16-bit mode and 19 DMX channels in extended 16-bit mode. Five channels control the internal barn doors, iris and color wheel in the IBD module that is installed as standard in DX models. If the IBD module is not installed these channels have no function.
To set the fixture’s DMX mode:
1. Click the jog wheel to enter the main menu.
2. Rotate the jog wheel to scroll down to CONTROL MODE, then click the jog wheel. Rotate the jog wheel
to select either BASIC or EXTENDED, then click the jog wheel to save.
3. Press the Escape button to step back to the main menu.
Fixture ID
The MAC Viper Wash lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an installation. When a fixture is powered on for the first time, it displays its DMX address by default. As soon as you set an ID number other than 0 in FIXTURE ID, the MAC Viper Wash will display this ID number by default, and indicate FIXTURE ID in the display.
Personality
The MAC Viper Wash provides several options that let you optimize the fixture for different applications in the PERSONALITY menu:
• The PAN/TILT menu lets you swap and/or invert pan and tilt.
• The SPEED menu lets you set PAN/TILT to NORMAL, FAST (optimized for speed) or SLOW (optimized for smooth movement – useful for slow movements in long-throw applications). Likewise, you can select an overall speed for all the effects by setting EFFECT speed to NORMAL, FAST or SLOW. You can also set effect speed to FOLLOW P/T, in which effects will always use whatever speed is set for pan and tilt.
DIMMER CURVE provides four dimming options (see Figure 3):
- LINEAR – (optically linear) the increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is
increased.
- S-CURVE – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.
This curve emulates the RMS voltage dimming characteristics of an incandescent lamp such as the tungsten halogen lamp of the Martin™ MAC TW1™.
- SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.
- INV SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.
FOCUS TRACKING sets focus to automatically switch between the three zoom/focus settings when you use the zoom effect (see “Zoom/focus linking” on page 5).
AUTO LAMP ON gives three lamp strike options:
- When set to OFF, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is received via DMX.
- When set to ON, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on.

- When set to DMX, the lamp strikes automatically when the fixture begins to receive DMX data, and
lamp power is shut down 15 minutes after the fixture stops receiving DMX data. Automatic lamp strikes are staggered to prevent all lamps from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address. No matter what the AUTOMATIC LAMP ON setting is, the lamp can be struck by sending a lamp on command via DMX on the Fixture control/settings DMX channel.
DMX LAMP OFF and DMX RESET define whether the lamp can be powered off, or whether fixture or individual effects can be reset by sending a DMX command on the Fixture control/settings DMX channel. If either of these settings are set to Off, you can override this setting and cut lamp power or reset effects by applying a special combination of DMX values (see “DMX protocol” on page 19).
EFFECT SHORTCUT determines whether the color wheel in the MAC Viper Wash DX takes the shortest path between two positions (shortcuts enabled), crossing the open position if necessary, or always avoids the open position (shortcuts disabled).
DISPLAY offers the following options for the LCD display:
- DISPLAY SLEEP determines whether the display remains on permanently, or goes into sleep mode 2,
5 or 10 minutes after the last movement of the jog wheel or Escape button.
- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you define the brightness of the display backlighting. Select Auto for
automatic adjustment to match the ambient light level, or manually set the intensity to a level from 0% to 100%.
- DISPLAY ROTATION lets you rotate the display manually through 0°, 90°, 180° or 270° so that it can be
read easily no matter how the fixture is oriented. If set to Auto, the MAC Viper Wash senses its orientation and rotates the display automatically.
- DISPLAY CONTRAST lets you define the contrast of the backlit graphic display. Select Auto for
automatic adjustment to match display intensity, or manually set the contrast to a level from 0% to 100%.
ERROR MODE enables or disables error warnings. If set to NORMAL, the display is activated and lights up if the fixture needs to report an error. If set to SILENT, the fixture does not light the display with error warnings but error messages can still be read when the display is activated manually. In both NORMAL and SILENT modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an error.
Factory defaults
FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration is not affected, so
any effects that have been re-calibrated will not be returned to factory calibration settings.
Fixture information readouts
The following fixture information can be called up in the display:
POWER ON TIME provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays total hours powered on since manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of hours the fixture has been
powered on since the counter was last reset.
LAMP ON TIME provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays total hours the lamp has been powered on since
manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of hours the lamp has been
powered on since the counter was last reset. This counter is intended to allow you to monitor lamp life.
LAMP STRIKES provides two counters:
- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays the total number of lamp strikes since
manufacture.
- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of lamp strikes since the
counter was last reset.
SW VERSION displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.
SERIAL NUMBER displays the fixture’s manufacturer serial number.
RDM UID displays the fixture’s factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.
FAN SPEEDS provides separate status readouts from the fixture’s cooling fans.
TEMPERATURES provides separate PCB temperature readouts.

DMX signal monitoring
The MAC Viper Wash provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This information can be useful 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.
QUALITY 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.
START CODE displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular performance.
The remaining options under DMX LIVE display the DMX values in a range from 0 - 255 that are being received on each channel. The DMX channels displayed depend on whether the fixture is in 16-bit or 16-bit extended mode and depend on the hardware configuration (values are shown for internal barndoors, iris and color wheel channels if these effects are installed in the fixture).
Test sequences
TEST activates effects in sequence, allowing you to test all effects, pan and tilt movement only, or effects
only (i.e. without pan and tilt movement) without a DMX controller:
• Select a test type and click on the jog wheel to start the test.
• Click on the Escape button to stop the test.
Manual control
The MANUAL CONTROL menu lets you reset the MAC Viper Wash, strike or douse the lamp, and operate the fixture without a DMX controller. To execute commands in the MANUAL CONTROL menu, select a menu item for the effect that you want to control, then enter a value from 0 to 255 to apply a command. The menu items and values correspond to the commands listed in the DMX protocol on page 19.
Page 13
Adjusting settings via DMX 13
Adjusting settings via DMX
Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on the Fixture control/settings DMX channel: channel 20 in basic 16-bit mode or channel 23 in extended 16-bit mode.
Commands sent on the Fixture control/settings channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s onboard control menus.
To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, most of the commands must be held for a certain time before they are applied. For example, the command that turns off the display illumination must be held for one second to activate it. The command that resets the fixture must be held for five seconds to activate it. The times required to apply DMX commands on the Fixture control/settings channel are listed for each command on page 21 in the DMX protocol.

Either the entire fixture or individual effects can be reset to their initial positions. Resetting individual effects can allow on-the-fly recovery if an effect loses its correct position, for example, without having to reset the entire fixture.
Lamp on / off
The lamp can be struck and doused from the DMX controller. A peak of electric current that is many times the operating current is drawn for a fraction of a second 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 electronic circuit breakers. If sending lamp-on commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time.
Illuminating the display
The fixture’s display panel can be brought out of sleep mode with a DMX command. This makes it possible to read the fixture’s DMX address while the fixture is installed in the rig.
After being illuminated in this way, the display will return to sleep mode according to the setting entered in the onboard control menus.
Control menu setting overrides
The following fixture settings can be adjusted via DMX, overriding the settings entered in the onboard control menus. See under “Control panel menus” on page 23.
• Dimming curve
• Pan and tilt speed
• Effect shortcuts
• Zoom/focus linking
• Ballast output
• Auto blackout (the iris is closed and aerial effects wheel moved to the nearest position between two slots 5 seconds after shutter/dimmer blackout to eliminate stray light)
• Calibration offsets
Page 14

Changing calibration offsets using DMX
The Fixture control/settings DMX channel allows effects to be calibrated by changing their factory default offsets from the DMX controller.
To set an effect offset:
1. Set the effect to a DMX value from 0 to 255 on its own
DMX channel (for example, set Cyan to 192 on channel
4).
2. Send a ‘Store’ command for the effect on the Fixture
Adjustment/Calibration channel.
The MAC Viper Wash now reads the value on the effect channel (192 for Cyan in the example above), translates it to an offset value of between -5% and +5% as shown in Figure 4 (+2.5% Cyan offset in the example above) and stores that offset in memory.
See ”Fixture control/settings” in the DMX protocol on page 21 for details of the effect offsets that can be set using this method.
Effect offsets stored in memory are not affected by powering the fixture off and on or by updating the fixture software. To return all offsets to their factory defaults, send a DMX value from 245 to 249 for 5 seconds on the Fixture control/settings channel or apply LOAD FACTORY SETTINGS in the FACTORY SETTINGS menu in the fixture’s control panel.

RDM 15
RDM
The MAC Viper Wash can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with ESTA’s American National Standard E1.20-2006: Entertainment Technology RDM Remote Device Management Over DMX512 Networks.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting existing non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific fixtures.
RDM ID
Each MAC Viper Wash has a factory-set RDM UID (unique identification number) that makes it addressable and identifiable in RDM systems. The number can be found in the control panel INFORMATION menu under RDM UID.
RDM communication
The MAC Viper Wash supports a range of RDM PIDs (Parameter IDs). Sending SUPPORTED_PARAMETERS and PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION commands from an RDM controller will call up a list of the PIDs supported in the firmware version installed in the fixture.

Software service functions
Service utilities
The control panel SERVICE menu provides utilities for technicians rigging or servicing the fixture:
ERROR LIST displays any error messages that are stored in internal memory.
PT FEEDBACK lets you disable feedback to the fixture software from the pan, tilt and effects positioning systems. If feedback is set to ON and a pan, tilt or effect position error is detected, the shutter closes and the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by setting feedback to OFF. The OFF setting is not saved when the fixture is powered off, and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If a pan/tilt position error occurs and the system cannot correct pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.
ADJUST is for use at the factory and by authorized Martin Service technicians only. This menu allows dimmer and wash effect positions to be adjusted after replacement of components, etc. To adjust the default positions of all the MAC Viper Wash’s effects, use the CALIBRATION menu instead.
Important! Do not enter the ADJUST menu without service documentation from Martin.
CALIBRATION lets you set new default positions for calibration purposes, set effects to their factory default positions or overwrite the factory default positions with new values. See ”Calibration” below.
USB lets you updates the firmware (fixture software) using a USB memory device. For a detailed guide to updating the firmware, see ”Installing using a USB memory device” later in this chapter.
Calibration
The CALIBRATION menu lets you define offsets in software that are relative to the mechanical reset or home positions. This allows you to fine-tune optical alignment and achieve uniform performance between fixtures. Fixtures are adjusted and calibrated at the factory, and further calibration will normally only be necessary if fixtures have been subjected to abnormal shocks during transport or if normal wear and tear has affected alignment after an extended period of use.
Calibrating pan and tilt sensors
Warning! Be ready for the head to move during pan and tilt calibration.
To calibrate pan and tilt:
1. Place the fixture on a stable surface.
2. In the CALIBRATION menu, select PT AT END STOP.
3. Move pan to its end stop position by rotating the yoke clockwise (as seen from above the head looking
towards the base) to maximum pan.
4. Move tilt to its end stop by tilting the head to its maximum angle with the front glass pointing towards the
base and away from the display/control panel.
5. Be ready for the head to move. Click the jog wheel to register the positions. The fixture will display
Saving... and the head will move.
6. Press the Escape button to exit pan/tilt sensor calibration. Be ready for the head to move again.
Calibrating effects
Calibration can be carried out via DMX (see ”Changing calibration offsets using DMX” on page 14) but the most thorough approach is probably to set multiple fixtures to the same position (e.g. dimmer open 1%) and then calibrate each fixture using its onboard control panel while comparing its light output with a reference fixture.The calibration range available for each effect varies but is approximately 5%. After selecting a calibration value, click on the jog wheel to set the effect to that value.
Page 17
Software service functions 17
Loading and storing default calibration offsets
In the CALIBRATION menu, LOAD DEFAULTS lets you load the factory default calibration offsets stored in memory.
SAVE DEFAULTS lets you overwrite the factory default calibration offsets stored in memory with any new offsets that you have defined. Overwriting is permanent, so once you have saved new default offsets, LOAD
DEFAULTS will reload the new offsets.
Firmware installation
The currently installed firmware (fixture software) version can be viewed in the control panel INFORMATION menu. Firmware updates are available from the Martin™ website and can be installed using a USB memory stick or a Windows PC running the Martin Uploader application and either a Martin Universal USB Duo™ USB-DMX interface device or a Martin DABS1™ USB-DMX interface device.
Calibration data is stored in the relevant modules wherever possible so that a module will stay calibrated if is removed from the fixture or installed in another fixture.
Do not switch the fixture off during a firmware update, or firmware will be corrupted.
Installing using a USB memory device
The following are required in order to install firmware using a USB memory device:
• The MAC Viper Wash ‘.BANK’ firmware update file, available for download from the MAC Viper Wash Product Support page on the Martin website at http://www.martin.com.

To install the MAC Viper Wash firmware:
1. Download the ‘.BANK’ firmware file from the MAC Viper Wash Product Support page at
www.martin.com, read the firmware release notes carefully to check for any instructions or warnings, and copy the firmware file to the root directory of a USB stick.
2. Disconnect the data link from the MAC Viper Wash.
3. Insert the USB stick in the MAC Viper Wash’s USB host socket. The fixture should recognize the USB
stick, illuminate the display and show UPDATING FILES in the display while it checks and if necessary updates its internal memory with new firmware versions stored on the USB stick. If the fixture does not recognize the USB stick, scroll to the USB menu under SERVICE in the control panel.
Important! Do not remove a USB memory device while the fixture is updating files.
4. When the fixture has updated its internal memory, AVAILABLE FIRMWARE will appear in the display.
You can now scroll through the firmware versions available in memory.
5. To install a firmware version, select it by scrolling and then clicking with the jog wheel. The MAC Viper
Wash asks you to confirm installation of the new firmware. If you do not want to install that version, press the Escape button.
6. Allow the fixture to install the firmware and reboot.
7. Remove the USB stick. The newly-installed firmware version will now be displayed in the
INFORMATION menu.
8. Reconnect the data link.
9. If you have installed a new firmware version, check the Martin™ website to see whether an updated
User Guide is available for this firmware.
Fixture information and settings, including zoom-focus linking, are not affected when new software is uploaded.

Service and display messages
The MAC Viper Wash gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance, allowing easier reading with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed information.
Warning messages
Warning messages indicate that either:
• problems might appear in the future if no action is taken, or
• the user needs to pay special attention to a function or procedure when working with the fixture. The MAC Viper Wash communicates warnings as follows:
• Warning codes are shown continuously in the display and disappear when the user reacts to the warning.
• If more than one warning is detected, all warnings are displayed in sequence.
• If the display is inactive, the fixture’s status LED (see Figure 2 on page 8) flashes orange to indicate that there is a warning. Activating the display will show the warning.
• Messages regarding the internal barndoors, iris and color wheel will only be shown if an IBD module is installed.
The possible warning messages are listed in Table 3 below

Error messages
Error messages indicate that there is a serious problem. The MAC Viper Wash communicates errors as follows:
• Error messages flash in the display.
• If more than one error is detected, the fixture flashes all errors three times each.
• Errors are shown in the display regardless of display status: they override an inactive display and any other information that the display might be showing.
• If an error is present, the status LED flashes red.

Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other optical component. Use only accessories approved by Martin™ to mask or modify the light beam.
PROTECTION FROM INJURY
• Do not lift or carry the fixture alone.
• The handles in the base and on the top of the yoke are for use when carrying the product only. Do not use them for hoisting, primary attachment or secondary attachment.
• Use two evenly spaced clamps to suspend the fixture from rigging structures. Do not use only one clamp.
• When clamping the fixture to a truss or other supporting structure at any other angle than with the yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two half-coupler clamps. Do not use G-clamps, quick-trigger clamps or any other type of clamp that does not completely encircle the supporting structure when fastened.
• When suspending the fixture, ensure that the supporting structure and all hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all devices suspended from them.
• Install as described in this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight of all the fixtures it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and also be capable of bearing a static suspended load ten times the weight of the fixture.
• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.

Physical installation 7
Physical installation
Warning! The MAC Viper Wash has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the head is panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a surface. Do not apply power to the MAC Viper Wash unless the base is securely fastened to a surface or to rigging hardware.
Warning! Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise.
Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary attachments by attaching a safety wire that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.
Warning! Position or shade the head so that the lens does not face the sun at any time – even for a few seconds – during daylight hours. The MAC Viper Wash’s lens can focus the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating a potential fire hazard and causing internal damage.
Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the MAC Viper Wash from a distance of less than 3 m (10 ft.), as intense illumination can damage the display.
The MAC Viper Wash can be fastened to a surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation. Clamps must be half-coupler type (see Figure 3) unless the fixture is installed with the yoke hanging vertically downwards, in which case other clamp types that are approved for the supported weight may be used.
The mounting points allow the clamp brackets to be fastened parallel, perpendicular or at 45° to the front, as shown in Figure 2.

Important!Connect the MAC Viper Wash directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system; doing so may damage the fixture.
The MAC Viper Wash requires a power input cable with a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA cable connector for AC mains power input. The cable must meet the requirements listed under “Protection from electric shock” on page 4.
Martin™ can supply either a suitable 3 m (9.8 ft.) power cable with PowerCon input connector installed or the PowerCon input connector without a cable (see “Accessories” on page 25).
Installing a power input connector on a power cable
To install a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA input connector on a power cable, see illustrations above and right:
1. Slide the bushing over the cable.
2. Slide the white chuck over cables with a diameter (D
a
) of 5 - 10 mm (0.2 - 0.4 in.), or the black chuck over cables with a diameter of 10 ­15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.).
3. Prepare the end of the cable by stripping 20 mm (0.8 in.) of the cable’s outer jacket.
4. Strip 8 mm (1/3 in.) of insulation from the end of each wire.
5. Use a small flathead screwdriver to fasten the wires into the connector terminals in the insert as follows:
• live wire into the terminal marked L
• neutral wire into the terminal marked N
• ground (earth) wire into terminal marked .
6. Push the insert and chuck into the housing (note the raised key and keyway to ensure correct orientation).
7. Fasten the bushing to the housing using a wrench to a torque of
2.5 Nm (1.8 lb.-ft).

AC power 11
Connecting to an AC mains power source
The MAC Viper Wash power cable can be hard-wired to a building installation circuit or fitted with a cord cap (mains plug) to allow connection to local AC mains power outlets. If you install a cord cap, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug, following the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows some possible mains power pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.
Applying power
See Figure 7. To apply power to the MAC Viper Wash, check that the tilt lock is released, that the base is held securely, and that personal safety will not be put at risk when the lamp strikes and the fixture moves, then set the power on/off switch B to I (On).
Check that the mains power on/off switch B is set to O (Off) before inserting or removing the power input connector at the input socket A, otherwise you may cause arcing at connector terminals that can damage them.
Shutting down power
For optimum lamp life, wait at least 5 minutes after striking a discharge lamp before dousing the lamp.
It is also good practise to douse the lamp a few minutes before shutting down power. This gives the fans time to cool the fixture down.

DMX data link
The MAC Viper Wash has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX and RDM input and output (see Figure 7 on page 11). The default pin-out on both sockets is:
• pin 1 to shield
• pin 2 to data 1 cold (-)
• pin 3 to data 1 hot (+).
Pins 4 and 5 are not used by the fixture but are bridged between input and output sockets. These pins can therefore be used as a pass-through connection for an additional data signal if required.
Tips for reliable data transmission
• Use shielded twisted-pair 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.
• To split the data link into branches, use one of the splitter-amplifiers available from Martin (see under
“Accessories” in the product specifications given at the end of this document.)
• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
• Install a DMX termination plug on the last fixture on the link.
Connecting the data link
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the MAC Viper Wash’s data input (male XLR) socket.
2. Run the data link from the MAC Viper Wash’s data output (female XLR) socket to the data input of the next fixture.
3. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold (-) conductors (and between data 2 hot and cold if used) at the data output of the last fixture on the link. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

Service and maintenance
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before servicing the MAC Viper Wash.
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes minutes before handling. Do not stare into the light output. Be prepared for the fixture to light and move suddenly when connected to power.
Warning! The MAC Viper Wash™ contains components that are accessible and live at high voltage while the fixture is connected to power and that remain under tension for 30 minutes after power is disconnected. Only technicians who are authorized by Martin™ and who have access to the Martin™ service documentation for the MAC Viper Wash are permitted to open the base and yoke of the fixture. The user may open the MAC Viper Wash’s head only to carry out the service operations described in this section, following the warnings and instructions provided. Refer any service operation not described in this manual or the product’s User Guide to a qualified service technician.
Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
The user will need to clean the MAC Viper Wash periodically, The user may also install and uninstall an internal barn doors module in the head and update the firmware. All other service operations on the MAC Viper Wash must be carried out by Martin Professional™, its approved service agents or trained and qualified personnel using the official Martin™ service documentation for the MAC Viper Wash.
Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin Professional Global Service organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to Martin’s expertise and product knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the product’s lifetime. Please contact your Martin supplier for details.
It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical components are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent performance will be affected. However, you may eventually need to replace optical components if their characteristics are affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very precise optical and color parameters.
Tilt lock
The tilt position of the head can be locked at 45° for service. See Figure 1 on page 6. Push the lock in towards the yoke in one direction to lock the head and back in from the other side to unlock the head.
Important! Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture and before packing the fixture in its
flightcase.
Lamp
The MAC Viper Wash is designed for use with a highly efficient 1000 watt short-arc Osram HTI 1000/PS Lok-it discharge lamp. This lamp has a color temperature of 6000 K, a color rendering index greater than 85 and an average service life of 750 hours. Do not use any lamp that is not approved by Martin™ for the MAC Viper Wash.
Warning! Installing a lamp that is not approved may create a safety hazard or damage the fixture!
Lamp power is automatically reduced to approximately 800 W after 10 seconds when the dimmer/shutter is closed in order to reduce cooling fan activity and power consumption. The lamp returns to 1000 W as soon as the dimmer/shutter is opened.
Page 44
14 MAC Viper Wash Safety and Installation Guide
Lamp life
Monitor lamp hours using the resettable LAMP ON TIME counter in the INFORMATION control menu. To reduce the risk of explosion, replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average service life, i.e. when usage reaches 750 hours. Never exceed the lamp’s average service life by more than 10%. Replace the lamp immediately if it is deformed or in any way defective.
For maximum service life:
• Avoid powering the lamp off until it has warmed up for at least 5 minutes.
• Before shutting down power completely, douse the lamp but leave power applied for a few minutes so
that cooling fans can prevent any momentary lamp temperature increase caused by heat from surrounding components.
Lamp replacement
Warning! Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling lamps. The clear lamp bulb is integral with the ceramic lamp base. Do not try to separate the bulb from the base.
Important! The lamp can be a stiff fit in its holder. Twist the lamp base a full 45° clockwise when installing to ensure that the lamp contacts are fully engaged.
Replacement lamps are available from Martin™ by ordering P/N 97010346.
The clear bulb must be perfectly clean. Do not touch it with your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it with a clean, dry lint-free cloth before installing, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb.
To replace the lamp:
1. If the fixture has been in use, douse the lamp but leave power applied for at least 30 minutes so that cooling fans continue to run.
2. Disconnect the fixture from power.
3. Tilt the head so that the text around the lamp access cover is facing the right way up and the cover is easy to reach.
4. See Figure 8. Release the Torx 20 cover screw A and open the cover.
5. See Figure 9. Grasp the ceramic lamp base, twist it 45° counterclockwise to release it, then remove the lamp gently from the fixture.
6. See Figure 10. Hold the replacement lamp so that the external wire B is facing up towards the top of the head (towards the vertical and horizontal alignment screws C and D in Figure 11) and line up the contacts on the lamp base with the slots in the lampholder. Slide the lamp into the fixture until the contacts are fully inserted in the slots, then twist the lamp base a full 45° clockwise until it locks into position with a noticeable click. The lamp is a stiff fit and trying to strike a lamp that is not correctly installed can cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty, so ensure that the lamp is correctly locked into position.

Lamp adjustment
Warning! Adjust the lamp with the fixture at normal operating temperature. The fixture will be hot, so wear heat-resistant safety gloves. Do not touch the fixture with your skin, clothing or any other items.
Adjust the lamp immediately each time you install a new lamp, and make sure that the lamp is correctly adjusted at all times. A significant hot-spot in the beam will focus extra heat onto optical components and may cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
To adjust the lamp:
1. To optimize tolerances, strike the lamp and run the fixture until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Set the zoom to wide and shutter to fully open.
3. Aim the fixture at an even surface and make sure that no further commands can be sent by DMX.
4. See Figure 11. Turn the three Torx 20 lamp adjustment screws C, D and E to minimize any hot-spot and obtain the most even beam.

Lubrication
The MAC Viper Wash does not require lubrication under normal circumstances. The slides for the zoom and focus lens cars are lubricated with a long-lasting teflon-based grease that can be reapplied by a Martin service partner if necessary.
Access to the head
Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool for 30 minutes before opening the head.
To open the head:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power, allow components to cool for 30 minutes.
2. For easiest access to the components inside the head, position the head with the top facing upwards (in this position the text on the lamp cover is the right way up) at an angle with the front facing downwards, then apply the tilt lock.
3. See Figure 12. Remove both head covers by loosening their Torx 25 captive retaining screws A until the screws turn freely. Lift the front of each cover slightly away from the head, then slide the cover towards the front of the head to release the rear of the cover.
4. You can allow head covers to hang on their safety wires, but for easiest access press each cover’s safety wire retaining clip B in towards the head chassis, slide the clip until you can remove it, then remove the head cover completely from the fixture.
To reinstall the head covers:
1. See Figure 12. Hold each cover up to the head and fasten its safety wire retaining clip B into the head chassis by pressing the clip through its hole and then sliding it until it is held securely.
2. Slide the rear of the cover towards the back of the head until its retaining clips locate, then swing the front of the cover in towards the head and fully tighten each cover’s two Torx 25 retaining screws. Check that each cover is securely attached.
3. Release the tilt lock before applying power or packing the MAC Viper Wash in its flightcase.
Cleaning
Regular cleaning is very important for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust, dirt, smoke particles, fog fluid residues, etc. degrades the fixture’s light output and cooling ability.
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC Viper Wash. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation. Environmental factors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airflow rates (near air conditioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigarette smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor
events, for example).
Figure 12: Access to the head
A A
B
Page 47
Service and maintenance 17
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first few hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your particular situation. If in doubt, consult your Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.
Work in a clean, well lit area. Use gentle pressure only when cleaning. Do not use any product that contains abrasives. Do not use solvents on plastic or painted surfaces. Use care when cleaning optical components: the coated surfaces are fragile and easily scratched.
To clean the head:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Remove the head covers (see “Access to the head” on page 16).
3. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles inside the head with compressed air.
4. Carefully clean the optical components, Remove smoke and other residues with cotton swabs or unscented lens tissues moistened with isopropyl alcohol. A commercial glass cleaner may be used, but residues must be removed with distilled water. Clean with a slow circular motion from center to edge. Dry with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub the surface: lift the particles off with a soft repeated press.
5. Remove dust from fans and air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.
6. If you have finished work on the head, reinstall the head covers as described in “Access to the head” on page 16 and release the tilt lock before reapplying power.
Replacing the head air filters
There are two disposable air filters in the MAC Viper Wash head. They must be replaced as a pair when they become dirty.
The replacement procedure is the same for each air filter:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 30 minutes.
2. Remove the head covers (see “Access to the head” on page 16).
3. See Figure 13. Loosen the two captive Torx 25 screws A at the front end of the filter housing until the screws turn freely.
4. Disconnect the air filter fan connector B.
5. Slide the filter housing towards the front of the fixture to release the rear of the housing, then lift the housing away from the head.
6. Press down on the two clips C until they release and you can open the filter housing.
