TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK

• 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.

• 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.

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

• Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fix ture 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.

Address selection

The MX-10 Extreme requires 13 channels for DMX control. The address, also known as the start channel, is the first
channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each f ixture must be assigned its own

12 MX-10 Extreme

address and non-overlapping control channels. Two MX-10 Extremes can share the same address if they are to respond
identically: they will receive the same instructions and individual control will not be possible.

TO SET THE DMX ADDRESS

1 Apply power to the MX-10 Extreme. Press [menu] to enter the main menu.
2 Select AddR using the [up] and [down] keys. Press [enter].
3 Select an address (start channel) from 1 to 500 using the [up] and [down] keys. Press [enter]. Press [menu]

to return to the main menu.

Tailoring performance

MOVEMENT

The MX-10 Extreme provides the three options for optimizing movement to suit different applications.

PATI, the pan and tilt inv ert menu, allo ws y ou to sw ap the pan and tilt cha nnels (SWAP>ON), invert pan movement

(

PINV>ON), and invert tilt movement (TINV>ON). These options can be useful in situations where you want

some fixtures to mirror the performance of others with the same DMX address, or when fixtures are not oriented as
programmed.

PTSP, the pan/tilt speed menu, provides 2 settings: FAST and NORM. NORM is best for most applications.
FAST provides better performance in applications where speed is most important.

SCUT, the shortcuts setting, determines whether the color and gobo wheels scroll past open when changing positions.

When set to
position. The wheels do not scroll past open when

ON, the wheels can “take a shortcut” and scroll through open when this is the shortest path to the next

executes a routine designed for testing the main circuit board. For service use only.

UPLOAD MODE

The upload mode command (UTIL>UPLd) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not
necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader.

Control Panel 15

DMX-512

This section briefly describes the DMX-controllable effects. See also the DMX table starting on page 25 and the DMX
chart on the back cover.

Lamp power

LAMP-ON

Unless automatic lamp strike is enabled, lamp p ower remains off until a lamp-on comm and is sent from the co ntroller.
Note: A peak of electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn for an instant 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 circuit breakers. If sending lamp-on commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence
that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.

LAMP-OFF

The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending the lamp-off command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. The
lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off. Note that the lamp-off command may

be disabled by the DMX Lamp-Off personality setting.

CONTROL

Effect position

RESET

If an effect loses its indexing and f ails to mo ve to programmed positions, the fixture can be reset from the controller by
sending the “Reset” command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. Note that the DMX reset feature may be disabled by the
DMX Reset personality setting.

DIMMER / SHUTTER

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, “instant” open and blackout, random
and variable strobe effects, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps
closed and slowly opens. Shutter, strobe, and pulse effects are selected on channel 1. The intensity level is selected on
channel 2.

COLOR

The color wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated randomly or
continuously in both directions at different speeds.

GOBO ROTATION AND SELECTION

The MX-10 Extreme has 8 indexed-rotation gobo positions plus an op en position . Gobos can be indexed (positioned at
a defined angle), rotated continuously, or rotated and shaken (bounced). The gobo and the type of movement are
selected on channel 4 and the index angle or rotation speed are selected on channel 5.

The gobo wheel also rotates continuously in both directions at variable speed.

FOCUS

The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to 20 meters (65 feet).

ROTATING PRISM

The prism may be inserted and removed from the light path. It rotates in both directions at varying speeds.

16 MX-10 Extreme

PAN AND TILT

Mirror pan and tilt are controlled on channels 8 to 11. The course control channel sets first 8 bits (the most significant
byte or MSB), and the fine channel sets the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte.
In other words, the fine channel fine-tunes the position set by the course channel.

Speed control

TRACKING CONTROL

Tracking control is enabled by setting the speed channels (12 and 13) to one of the tracking values listed in the DMX
table, typically 0.

With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by the cross-fade time between two positions or
scenes. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the rate required to
achieve the fade. The fixture “tracks” the changes and averages them with a digital filter algorithm to provide smooth
movement.

VECTOR CONTROL

With vector control, mo v ement speed is determined b y the speed v alues on channels 12 and 13. This provides a way to
control speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control also provides smoother movement, particularly at
slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates.

When using vector control, the cross-fade time must be 0.

BLACKOUT

When “blackout while moving” is selected on channels 12 or 13, the shutter closes when the effect moves to make the
transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.

PERSONALITY OVERRIDES

Channel 12 provides tracking values that allow you to override the pan/tilt speed personality setting. Channel 13
provides tracking values that allow you to override the shortcuts setting. See the DMX table for details.

Prism

The standard 3-facet prism can be replaced with optional five- and nine-facet prisms. See Accessories on page 36 for
part numbers.

TO REPLACE THE PRISM

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool.
2 Remove the front cover.
3 Remove the three prism module screws. There

are two screws on the color wheel side and one
screw on the gobo wheel side.

4 Unfold the flexible wire retainers on each side of

the chassis, just behind the prism module.
5 Unplug the color wheel sensor cable.
6 Lift the prism module out of the chassis. When

the lower prism motor nears the color wheel

sensor, tilt the prism module forward to avoid

damaging the sensor connection pins.
7 Unplug the motors and remove the prism

rotation belt.
8 Working through the round hole, lift the retention

spring off the back of the prism holder.
9 Rock the prism gently from side to side while

pulling lightly to work the prism out of the

bearing. Do not use force. If the holder gets

stuck, press it back into the bearing and try

again.
10 Gently insert the replacement prism into the

rotation bearing. Install the prism rotation belt.
11 Place the module prism-down on a clean surface

with the prism centered in the round hole. Hold

the unbent end of the retention spring in the

prism holder groove with one hand and work the

spring into the groove with your other hand.
12 Plug in the prism motors: the longer of the two

cables is for the larger of the two motors.
13 Tilt the bottom motor away from the color wheel

sensor as you insert the module into the fixture.

When the motor is clear of the sensor

connection pins, bring the module back to

vertical and press it down into position so that

the module tabs seat in the chassis slots.
14 Fold the flexib le wire retainers ov er the cables on

each side. Reconnect the color wheel sensor

cable.
15 Fasten the prism module to the chassis with

three screws.
16 Replace the front cover before applying power.

ERVICE

The MX-10 Extreme requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. Excessive dust, grease, and smok e

fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The

maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any

service that is not described here to a professional technician.

Warning! Removing covers while the fixture is powered on exposes dangerous live electrical

circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure. Disconnect the fixture from AC

power and allow it to cool before removing any cover.

Lamp replacement

Lamp life will vary; the rated life is an average figure that is based on the manufacturer’s test cycle. For maximum

lamp life, avoid excessive strikes and always allow the lamp to burn for at least 5 minutes before turning it off.

T o reduce the risk of lamp e xplosion, which may damage the fixtur e, ne ver exceed the lamp’s rated life (2000 hours) by

more than 25 percent.

Replace the lamp when:

• it strikes with difficulty or not at all, or is in any other way defective

• usage exceeds the manufacturer’s “replace before” hours. See Table 1.
Refer to page 8 for the lamp replacement procedure.

Mirror replacement

No adjustment is required after replacing the mirror as long as you do not loosen the tilt motor shaft adaptor.

TO REPLACE THE MIRROR

1 Remove the two screws that fasten the mirror bracket to

the tilt motor shaft adaptor with a 3 mm hex key and
remove the mirror.

2 Apply a drop of threadlock such as Loctite 243 to each

screw.

3 Place the new mirror assembly on the shaft adaptor and

fasten securely.

Cleaning

OPTICAL COMPONENTS

Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface on dichroic filters is ac hieved by means of special multi-layer
coatings and even small scratches may be visible. Residues from cleaning fluids can bake onto components 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.

22 MX-10 Extreme

4 Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air.

FAN

To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fan be
cleaned regularly.

1 Remove the fan by pulling out the locking pins on each

side.

2 Clean with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air.
3 Place the fan back in position and press in the locking pins

to secure.

Lubrication

Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other
lubricant is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove excess and do not get oil on other parts.

1 Check the focus mechanism and apply a drop of lubricant to the 3 metal slides if movement is rough.
2 Lubricate the rotating-gobo bearings if movement is rough on slow rotation or if they become noisy. Apply a

few drops of oil to each bearing from the lamp side of the wheel.

Replacing fuses

MAIN FUSE

The main fuse holder is built in to the mains input socket.
Never replace the fuse with one of a different rating!

1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket.
2 Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse.
3 Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating.

The fuse rating is listed on serial number label.

4 Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

POWER SUPPLY FUSES

There are two fuses for the low-voltage power supplies located on the printed circuit board. If one or more of the green
LEDs on the PCB does not light, one of these fuses may be blown. If all three LEDs are lit, the low-voltage power
supplies are functioning correctly.

Have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician if the
problem persists.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
2 Remove the front cover.
3 Remove the four screws that fasten the control panel

assembly. Move the display assembly out of the way to
access the PCB.

AC input & fuse holder
Data input
Data output

4 Carefully remove and check the two fuses located in the

top-left corner of the PCB (see page 34). Replace as
necessary with fuses of the same size and rating (see
page 35).

5 Install the control panel and the front cover.

Service 23

Updating software

The latest MX-10 Extreme firmware is av ailable from the su pport area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can
be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA
DMX interface.

Note: Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Martin Matrix must be
bypassed when updating fixture software via the DMX link. These systems do not relay the update code correctly
because it is not a DMX-compliant signal.

NORMAL UPDATE

To update fixture software, connect an upload device to the fixture just as you would connect a DMX controller and
perform a DMX mode upload as described in the uploader’s documentation. There is no need to isolate the MX-10
Extreme fixtures from other types of fixture on the serial link.

When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the MX-10 Extreme performs a check-sum test of the flash
memory and then resets. If the firmware is corrupted a check-sum error (
fixture displays

In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds to
force the check-sum test. You can repeat the DMX-mode upload as soon as

BOOT SECTOR UPDATE

If the normal update procedure fails or the software update notes call
for a boot-sector update, install new softwa re as follows.

CSER) occurs. A few seconds later the

UPLd and is ready for a new DMX-mode upload.

UPLd is displayed.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
2 Remove the front cover.
3 Remove the four screws that fasten the display assembly. Move

the display assembly out of the way to access the PCB.

4 The boot sector jumper is located next to the plug for the control

panel data cable. Move the jumper to the Init setting. Ver ify that
the Flash Write jumper is in the Enable position. See the
diagram on page 34.

5 Perform a boot-mode upload as described in the uploader

manual.

6 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the jumper back to

the Lock setting.
