AC power

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting the
fixtur

e to AC mains power.

Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the
fixture can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do
not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT socket
when using this input cable. If you want to connect other
fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to
po

wer in a chain’ on page 12.

For protec

tion 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 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.

Do not disconnect the Neutrik PowerCon connectors while the fixture is
powered, as this may cause arcing which will damage the connector.

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 8 A at a suitable
voltage for your local power system. Follow the plug manufacturer’s
instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:

Live or L Neutral or N

Earth, Ground or

US system

Black White Green

EU system

Brown Blue Yellow/green

The fixture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at
100-240 V at 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or
frequency to the fixture.

Linking fixtures to power in a chain

The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is 0.75mm2 (18 AWG),
rated at 6A, and can only supply enough power for one fixture. If you want to

RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual 13

use the MAINS OUT socket on the fixture to link power to the next fixture in a
daisy-chain, you need to obtain the larger 2.5mm

2

(14 AWG) power input
cables and power link cables available as an accessory from Martin, see
‘Accessories’ on page 31.

Usi

ng the 14 AWG or 2.5mm

2

cables from Martin™, you can link:

• Maximum ten (10) RUSH PAR4 UV fixtures in total at 100-120 V, or

• Maximum fourteen (14) RUSH PAR4 UV fixtures in total at 200-240 V.

However, if you link too many fixtures the inrush current may cause tripping of
overcurrent devices on the supply circuit. If this is a problem, split the fixtures
into smaller groups, or fit a type-D miniature circuit breaker (MCB) for the
circuit.

If you install a power plug on the 14 AWG / 2.5 mm

2

power input cable, install
a grounding type (earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum
16 A at the correct voltage rating for your local power supply.

5,6 –XLR DMX input/output connectors

5-pin XLR connectors are provided for DMX input and output (through to next
fixture).

RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual 15

Control data link

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

Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total
number of fixtures in one 512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number
of DMX channels required by the fixtures. 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 limits are
reached, add a DMX universe and/or split the daisy-chained link into branches
using a powered DMX splitter.

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 is recommended for longer runs.

• pin 1 = shield

• pin 2 = cold (-)

• pin 3 = hot (+).

Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin 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 (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated splitter such as the
Martin™ DMX 5.3 Splitter. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in

16 RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual

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 a
splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

Connecting the 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 first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture
and continue connecting fixtures output to input.

3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.

RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual 17

Fixture setup

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

Options can also be set over the DMX line using RDM from a suitable
controller, see “Setting options by RDM” on page 20.

A complete m

ap of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their
purposes can be found on page 28. Only the most-used functions are
descri

bed in this section.

Setting DMX address

Each fixture must be assigned a DMX address. The DMX address, also known
as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a
DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using 3 DMX channels. If a fixture has
a DMX address of 1, then it uses channels 1 to 3 inclusive. The following
fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 4.

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, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.

To set the fixture’s DMX address:

1. Enter the control menu and select DMX FUNC. Press ENTER.

2. Select DMX ADDR and press ENTER.

3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired address setting.

connected to the installation via a DMX data link. To use Martin® M-PC,

RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual 21

connect a PC running the application to the data link via a USB-to-DMX
interface box such as the Martin® M-DMX. Note that RDM is only supported
on Port A of the M-DMX.

A full list of the RDM functions that the fixture supports is given at the end of
this chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific
term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.

Scanning for RDM devices on the data link

Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan
command (also called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the
data link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It does this by retrieving
each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This process can take some
time depending on the number of devices on the link.

To identify the fixtures on the link:

1. Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on
the data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.

2. In Martin® M-PC, go to RDM CONTROLLER Æ DISCOVER DEVICES.

3. Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare for
communication with the devices.

Getting status and setting options by RDM

The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.
You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to

that one fixture only, or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the
data link by sending a broadcast RDM command to all the devices on the link.

For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an
individual fixture.

Maintenance

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before
serv

icing the fixture.

Disconnect the fixture from mains power before cleaning or
servicing.

Service fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from
failing parts, tools or other materials.

The user may carry out the service operations described in this manual. All
other service operations must be carried out by an authorized Martin™ service
technician. Do not try to repair the fixture yourself, as you may create a safety
risk or cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

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 Martin™ for details.

Cleaning

Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.

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 Martin dealer
about a suitable maintenance schedule.

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.

26 RUSH PAR 4 UV User Manual

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 and the air vents at the back and sides of the unit with low­pressure compressed air.

3. Clean 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 low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an
unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled
water.

Updating firmware

If Martin releases an updated version of firmware for this fixture, you can
update it using the Martin Companion Software using M-DMX. See
www.martin.com.

Service and repairs

Never try to repair the fixture by yourself as this may result in damage or
malfunction and it may potentially void your product warranty. The equipment
must only be serviced or repaired by an authorized Martin service technician.
