Introduction
The MH 1 Profile is a small, powerful profile fixture incorporating a single 180
W long-life LED. It provides two gobo wheels, the first with seven rotating
gobos and the second with eight fixed gobos. The fixture has two color wheels,
each with eight colors (including white), smooth electronic dimming, rotating
prism effects, a mechanical focus and iris, as well as strobe effects. The
device is extremely rugged, lightweight and compact, and is ideal for touring
applications or small fixed installations.
The fixture can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller. It can also
function without DMX control as a standalone device running one of four preprogrammed shows, with the option of sound-activated scene triggering.
The fixture is supplied with this user manual, a 1.5 m (5 ft) power cable (local
power plug not included) and two mounting brackets.
Before using the product for the first time
1. Read Safety information on page 5 before installing, powering, operating
or servicing the fixture.
2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using
the fixture. Never attempt to operate a damaged fixture.
3. If the fixture is not going to be hard-wired to a mains supply, attach a local
power plug (not supplied) to the end of the supplied power cable.
4. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power
supply match the power requirements of the fixture.
5. Check the Martin Professional website at www.martin.com for the most
recent user documentation and technical information about the fixture.
RUSH by Martin™ user manual revisions are identified by the revision
letter at the bottom of the inside cover.

AC power
Read Safety information on page 5 before connecting the fixture
to AC mains power.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded
(earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a
fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from
power.
Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to
apply or cut power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals
that will damage the connectors.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the
fixture, as this may cause damage to the fixture that is not
covered by the product warranty.
Use only Neutrik PowerCon cable connectors to connect to power sockets.
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 20 A minimum, have three
conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum conductor size and an outer cable
diameter of 5 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.). Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or
equivalent) and heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F) minimum. In the EU the cable
must be HAR approved or equivalent. Cables used for power throughput must
meet the same specifications as for power input cables.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to
install it permanently, or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets
can be installed on the power cable.
The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at
100 – 240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the fixture at any
other voltage than this.
Power can be relayed from one fixture to another device in a daisy-chain via
the PowerCon throughput socket. Do not connect devices to power in a chain
that will exceed the power and current ratings of any cable or connector used
in the chain. Do not connect more than 4 RUSH MH 1 fixtures to power in a
chain at 100-120 V. Do not connect more than 8 RUSH MH 1 fixtures to power
