INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting a Martin Mania EF3. The Mania EF3 is a pre- programmed/music-activated dynamic lighting fixture that features a motorized rotating reflector with coated mirrors and a motorized rotating wheel with 8 gobos (gobos are outlines or masks placed in a light beam to create different patterns). Six gobos are colored and two are textured effects. The mirrored reflector shoots 18 colored light beams through the gobos for dynamic light effects that can be run constantly or synchronized with a music beat.

Do NOT block exhaust vents.

Shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens shall be changed if they become visibly damaged to the extent that their effectiveness is impaired, for example, by cracks or deep scratches.

The lamp shall be changed if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.

If the external power cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord exclusively available from your Martin dealer.

Avoiding electri c shocks

Warning! Always disconnect from mains power before replacing the lamp, fuses, or any part, and when not in use.

•Before operation ensure that factory setting of voltage and frequency match local power supply.

•Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.

•Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection.

•Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

•Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.

Protectin g yoursel f an d other s fro m burns an d fire

Warning! Hot lamp. The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling or opening.

•Surface temperature under steady state condition = 100°C (212° F).

•Minimum distance to flammable material = 0.3 m (1 ft).

•Minimum distance to illuminated surface 1.0 m (3.3 ft).

•Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.

•Ensure that the air flow through vents is free and unobstructed.

•Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around air vents.

•Never place filters or other materials over the lens or in the optical path.

•The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling.

•Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).

•Do not stare directly into the light.

•Never operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an unshielded lamp emits dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage.
