ASIC SERVICE

This chapter describes the maintenance procedures that you can perform
yourself.

Warning The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Always disconnect

the fixture from AC power and allow to cool for at least 20
minutes before handling or opening.

CLEANING

4

Regular cleaning of the elements in the optical path, as well as the air
vents, is vital to maintaining the operational quality of the Mania PR1.

Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades

performance and causes overheating and damage to the
fixture that is not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning the air vents and fan

To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the air vents
periodically. Remove dust from the air vents with a soft brush, cotton
swab, vacuum, or compressed air.

Cleaning optical components

Clean the optical components regularly. The presence of smudges or dust
on optical surfaces can reduce the strength of the light output and the
quality of the effects.

Use care when cleaning optical components and work in a clean, well lit
area. The coated surfaces are fragile and easily scratched. Do not use
solvents that can damage plastic or painted surfaces.

1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.

16 Mania PR1 user manual

2 Remove the thumb screw holding the cover in place.

3 Slide the fixture cover open.
4 Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed

air.

5 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.

6 Remove smoke, and other, residues with cotton swabs or unscented

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 and lint­free cloth or compressed air.

7 Close the fixture cover and tighten the thumb screw, taking care not to

trap any loose wires.

LAMP MAINTENANCE

Warning Isolate electrically before re-lamping. The lamp must be

changed if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
Caution Hot lamp.
Important The Mania PR1 is supplied with a Philips 6958 24V 250W 10H

lamp (Martin P/N 97000115) with an average life of 1000 hours.

The fixture must only be used with this lamp. Using any other

Warning Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture!

6 Close the fixture cover and tighten the thumb screw, taking care not to

trap any loose wires.

7 Reapply power to the fixture.

RECONFIGURING THE BEAM

The Mania PR1 is supplied with an adjustable lens module allowing the

beam angle to be set to either 25° or 32°. A 43° beam angle converter is

also available from your Martin dealer as an accessory.

The lens is factory-set to 25°, but this can be changed to 32° as follows.

You will need a 2mm Allen key for this operation.

To reconfigure the lens:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.

2. Turn the fixture over and remove the thumb screw holding the cover in
place.

3. Slide the fixture cover open.

4. Turn the focus knob clockwise as far as it will go. This will move the
lens module towards the front of the fixture, giving enough space to
remove the lens module.

Basic service 19

5. The lens module has a
bayonet-type fitting.
Working through the
front aperture of the
fixture, loosen – but do
not remove – the three
2mm Allen bolts around
the lens.

6. Working inside the fixture, grasp the lens module and twist it
counterclockwise so that it is released from the mounting screws. Lift
the lens module out of the fixture.

LENS ASSEMBLY

When you open the Mania PR1 lens module,
you may find out the hard way that it is easy
to mix up the lenses. To reassemble the
lenses correctly, see the illustration on the
right and remember that:

REPLACING THE MAINS FUSE

The Mania PR1 uses a time-delay fuse for protection against current
overload. An indication that the fuse may have blown is that when power
is applied and the lamp is switched on, no light is produced.

If the fuse blows repeatedly, there is a fault with the unit that requires
service by a Martin technician .

Never bypass the fuse or replace it with one of another size or rating.

1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket.
2 Pry open the fuse holder (located next to the mains power connector) with

a flat-head screwdriver and remove the fuse.
