Introduction

The PAR 1 RGBW is a powerful LED lamp incorporating seven 10 W RGBW long-life CREE LEDs. It provides RGBW color mixing, 32 color presets, smooth electronic dimming, as well as strobe effects. The device is extremely rugged, lightweight and compact, and is ideal for mobile DJ’s or small fixed installations.

The fixture can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller, and it has three DMX control modes providing basic or more complex control capability. It can also function as a standalone device, running pre-programmed shows in show mode, 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 a folding bracket that can also be used for rigging clamp attachment.

Before using the product

1. Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.

2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt to operate a damaged fixture.

3. If the fixture is not going to be hard-wired to a mains supply, install as directed in this manual a local power plug (not supplied) on 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 RUSH support pages on 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.

Note that when the fixture is powered on for the first time, it may smoke slightly as it warms up, but this will only last a few minutes and is no cause for concern.

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

Physical installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.

The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked and ensure that the product is fastened to a secure structure or surface.

Martin™ can supply suitable safety cables and rigging clamps for use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 37).

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp (see illustration on right) that completely encircles the truss chord.

To clamp the fixture to a truss:

1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

2. Block access under the work area.

3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket together and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The bolt used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket legs and be fastened with a self-locking nut.

4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the clamp securely.

5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

Securing with a safety cable

Secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails. Loop the safety cable through the eyebolt in the back of the fixture (see 3 in illustration on page 15) and around a secure anchoring point. Do not loop the safety cable around the fixture’s mounting bracket only, as this will leave the fixture unsecured if it separates from the bracket.

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

AC power

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.

Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using this input cable. If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on page 14.

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 fixture 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.

The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.

If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 250 V, 6 A. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

Control data link

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX or to use the master/slave functionality. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.

The number of daisy-chained fixtures is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512 channels available in one DMX universe. Note that if independent control of a fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels. Fixtures that are required to behave identically can share the same DMX address and channels. To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisychained link.

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 are recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all connectors is:

• pin 1 = shield

• pin 2 = cold (-)

• pin 3 = hot (+)

Pins 4 and 5 in the XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. Standard pin-out is:

• pin 4 = data 2 cold (-)

• pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

To split the link into branches, use a splitter, such as the Martin 4-Channel OptoIsolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If you use a DMX splitter, terminate each branch of the link.

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

Connecting the DMX data link

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male XLR DMX input connector.

2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a 120-Ohm resistor.

Fixture setup

This section explains the fixture characteristics that can be set that determine how it can be controlled and will behave. These settings are made using the menus available from the control panel, and are retained, even when the fixture is powered off.

Using the control menus

A map of the control menu structure can be found in ‘Control menus’ on page 30.

To access the control menus, press the MENU button. Navigate the menu structure using the MENU, ENTER, DOWN and UP buttons. Select any required menu option using the ENTER button. To return to a higher level in the menu structure without making any change, press the MENU button (this will occur automatically after an interval where there has been no user input.).

DMX addressing

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller on a number of channels (4, 5 or 7, depending on the DMX mode that has been set). Each DMX-controlled fixture must have a DMX address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX address of 10 and it is in 5channel DMX mode, then it uses channels 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. The next fixture on the DMX link can be set to a DMX address of 15.

For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control.

The DMX address is configured using the

The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the fixture. 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).

If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first 100 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 RUSH by Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.

RUSH PAR 1 RGBW User Manual

Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.

To clean the fixture:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture with low-pressure compressed air.

3. Clean the surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or lowpressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.

4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.

Replacing the primary fuse

If the fixture is completely dead, the fixture’s primary fuse F1 may have blown and it may be necessary to install a new fuse. This fuse is located in a fuseholder next to the MAINS OUT socket on the connections panel. See ‘Fixture overview’ on page 15.

If you need to replace a fuse:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.

2. Unscrew the cap of the fuseholder and remove the fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same size and rating only.

3. Reinstall the fuseholder cap before reapplying power.

Service and repairs

There are no user serviceable parts inside the fixture. Do not open the housing.

Do not try to repair the fixture by yourself as this may result in damage, malfunction and it may potentially void your product warranty. The equipment must only be serviced or repaired by an authorized RUSH by Martin service technician.

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 RUSH by Martin supplier for details.
