Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Martin Stage Cyclo. The Stage Cyclo is
designed for wash illumination of sets, features, and artists. A patented
optical system ensures effective color mixing, allowing the fixture to be
positioned close to illuminated surfaces without color hot-spots.

The Stage Cyclo can be controlled via DMX or programmed with a stand­alone light show (which it can run alone or in a synchronized group). It has a
wide range of mounting options, including stacking to form dynamic color­changing light walls. Four dimmable T5 high-output fluorescent tubes
combine high efficiency, bright color and long lamp life.

The Stage Cyclo features:

• Full 0-100% intensity control of red, green, blue and white tubes to give
RGB color mixing and fine-tuned color temperature

• High output, long life T5 fluorescent tubes

• Tough steel case with rubber corner protectors and carrying handle

• XLR 3-pin, XLR 5-pin and RJ-45 DMX connectors.

• One-tenth peak angle 107° x 121°

• Optional accessories include an adjustable bracket that allows flexible
rigging options.

Installation

This section describes in general terms how to install the fixture, connect it
to AC power and connect to a DMX controller. These procedures must be
performed by qualified professionals.

Mounting

The Stage Cyclo features a range of
mounting and stacking options when
used in combination with Martin
Omega clamps.

Warning! Check that all fasteners,

structures and surfaces used to
mount the Stage Cyclo can bear
at least ten times the total
weight of all devices installed.
A maximum of 8 Stage Cyclos
may be hung vertically using
the Stage Cyclo mounting
bracket and Martin omega
clam p s.

Max. 8 fixtures

Work from a stable platform and
block access below the work
area when installing or
servicing fixtures above head­height.

Rigging options

The clamp attachment points on the top, ends and back of the fixture
provide a range of rigging options.

An adjustable mounting bracket is available as an optional accessory (P/N

91611206).

Figure 1: Mounting bracket

Installation 7

Figure 2: Rigging with a

Figure 2: Safety wire attachment

Martin half-coupler

Ensure that mounting hardware can bear at least ten times the total weight
of the fixtures installed. Using the mounting bracket or Martin half-coupler
(P/N 90602005) and Martin omega clamps (P/N 91602001), a maximum of
eight fixtures may be flown in one connected stack.

Anchor fixtures securely to the supporting structure with safety cables that
can bear at least 10 times the weight of all suspended fixtures. Attach safety
cables to every fixture using the eyebolts on the fixtures’ connections panels
(see Figure 2). Do not use mounting brackets or clamps as attachment
points, as this will leave fixtures unsecured.

Stacking

The quarter-turn clamping
points allow multiple Stage
Cyclos to be clamped together
with omega clamps to form
light walls.

Ensure that stacked fixtures
are secured with a safety
attachment so that they cannot
fall over.

Important! Make sure that all

quarter-turn fasteners are
turned fully clockwise
until they lock.

Placing on a surface

The Stage Cyclo can be placed flat or at an angle on a level surface and
used as an uplight. The adjustable support rods allow the fixture to be
placed at various angles.

Installation 9

AC power

It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that all local regulations and legal
requirements are observed when installing and powering the Stage Cyclo.

The Stage Cyclo is available in two models, one for 100-130 V, 60 Hz AC
power only, and one for 208-250 V, 50/60 Hz AC power only. Full power
compatibility and consumption data are given in the Specifications section
on page 29.

Many fixed installations use common neutral conductors in branch circuit
distribution boxes. To avoid unintentional tripping of the RCD (ground fault
circuit breaker), ensure that the Stage Cyclo’s neutral conductor is
connected to AC power via the same RCD as the live conductor.

Important! Stage Cyclos contain electronic ballasts that “leak” a total

current of between 0.8mA and 4mA to ground (earth). Make sure
that fixtures are correctly connected to ground (earthed) so that
this “leakage” current can be absorbed.

Because of the “leakage” current, we recommend connecting a
maximum of seven Stage Cyclo fixtures per circuit where each
circuit is protected by a 30mA RCD. This should avoid
unintentional tripping of RCDs. Bear in mind that some RCDs
rated at 30mA may trip when leakage to ground is as low as
20mA.

Depending on the type of installation, electrical regulations in
some countries may permit the use of RCDs with a trip current
rating higher than 30mA. When considering this option, the
installer must ensure that all lo cal saf ety, building and electrical
regulations are respected.

Connecting to mains power

Warning! Check that your local AC power voltage matches the voltage

specified on the serial number label before applying power.

®

The Stage Cyclo is supplied with a Neutrik PowerCon
cable connector that must be installed on a power cable approved for extra
hard usage. The cable connector accepts power cable from 5 mm (0.20 in.)
to 11 mm (0.43 in.) diameter when fitted with a white chuck, or from 9.5 mm
(0.38 in.) to 15 mm (0.59 in.) diameter when fitted with a black chuck.

Connecting to a data link

Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output.

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in one single line,
maximum 500 meters (1640 ft.) long, with maximum 32 fixtures. To exceed
32 fixtures or 500 meters, or to add branches, use an optically isolated
splitter-amplifier such as the Martin RS-485 Opto-Splitter (P/N 90758060).

A reliable data connection requires suitable cable. Standard microphone
cable is unsuitable. For touring applications, use DMX cable designed for
RS-485 devices. For fixed installations, Category 5 network cable is an
acceptable alternative. Recommended minimum wire sizes are 24 AWG
(0.25mm

longer cable runs. Your Martin Architectural dealer can advise and supply
suitable cable.

The Stage Cyclo has RJ-45 as well as 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX
input and output. To avoid damage to the fixture, use only one input and one
output at the same time.

• XLR connectors are wired pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot
(+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5 on 5-pin XLR connectors.

• RJ-45 connectors are wired pins 7 & 8 to shield, pin 2 to signal - (cold)
and pin 1 to signal + (hot).

Some older fixtures have reversed polarity XLR sockets (pin 2 hot and pin 3
cold). Socket polarity is normally labelled on products and specified in user
manuals. Use a phase-reversing cable between the Stage Cyclo and any
device with reversed XLR connector polarity.

To connect the data link:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to one of the DMX input

sockets of the nearest fixture.

2. Connect one DMX output of this fixture to the DMX input of the next

fixture, and continue connecting output to input.

3. Terminate the link by inserting a male XLR DMX termination plug (P/N

91613017) or RJ-45 DMX termination plug (P/N 91613028) in the data
output of the last fixture.

Burning in fluorescent tubes

For optimum tube life and performance, burn in new fluorescent tubes for
100 hours at full power.

Ambient temperature

Do not operate the Stage Cyclo if ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40°C
(104°F).

The Stage Cyclo can be started at full intensity from -20°C (-4°F), but needs
to be at operating temperature for best dimming characteristics. When
operating at extremely low ambient temperatures, start the fixture at full
power and allow it to warm up for approximately 10 minutes before
dimming. If dimming characteristics are impaired when running tubes at low
intensity in extreme cold conditions, the fixture may need to be warmed up
by periodically running tubes at higher intensity.

Installation 13

Stand-alone operation

In stand-alone operation, the Stage Cyclo can be used without a DMX
controller. Static single colors or two-color mixes can be displayed, or
fixtures can be programmed to change colors in cycles. Changes can be
programmed at 1, 5, 10 or 30 second intervals.

Two stand-alone operation modes are available:

•In single stand-alone operation, fixtures run independently of each
other. No data link is required.

•In master/slave stand-alone operation, fixtures must be linked.
Synchronized action in all fixtures is triggered by one “master” fixture.

Programming single and
master/slave stand-alone
operation involves setting the
pins on the fixture’s DIP
switch. The DIP switch is
protected behind a sliding
cover on the back of the
fixture’s housing. To access
the switch, pull the knob in
the connections panel recess
(see illustration) and slide
open the cover.

Figure 9: Dip switch access

An overview of the DIP switch settings is provided on the next page. A quick
reference table covering DIP switch functions is also provided on the back
cover of this manual.

Activating colors

DIP switch pins 1 to 4 each activate a color in the stand-alone program.

Setting program speed

Combinations of DIP switch pins 5 and 6 allow one of four different speeds
to be set.

Fading between colors

If DIP switch 7 is set to OFF (blackout fading), colors fade to almost
blackout before the next color fades in.

If DIP switch 7 is set to ON (crossfading), color fading overlaps. If two or
more colors are active, one color fades in while another is fading out, giving
a color mixing effect. For example, if red and blue are activated and
crossfading is selected, colors will crossfade from red through purple to

Setting a static color display

In stand-alone operation, a static (non-changing) color display can be set by
pausing the program at the point where it is showing the desired color.
Either one color or a mix of two colors can be “frozen” in this way.

To set a static color display:

1. Activate the color you wish to display (if you wish to display a two-color
mix, activate these two colors) on DIP switch pins 1 to 4.

2. Set the fixture as master by setting DIP switch pin 9 to OFF.

3. Set DIP switch pins 5 and 6 to ON to activate the slowest program speed.

4. Set DIP switch pin 7 to OFF to activate crossfading and DIP switch pin 8
to OFF to activate the program.

5. When the desired color or color mix appears, pause the program by
moving DIP switch 8 to ON. This color will remain “frozen” until DIP
switch 8 is moved to OFF.

Note that the paused color is lost when the fixture is powered off. When
powering the fixture on again, DIP switch pin 8 must be moved to OFF
before the program will start.

16 Stage Cyclo user manual

Single stand-alone operation

In single stand-alone operation, a fixture runs its own program
independently of all other fixtures. To do this, the fixture must be set as a
master.

Activating single stand-alone operation

To activate single stand-alone operation:

1. Set DIP switch pin 10 to ON (activates stand-alone mode).

2. Set DIP switch pin 9 to OFF (activates master mode).

3. Apply power and program the fixture using DIP switch pins 1 - 8 (see
“DIP-switch settings in stand-alone mode” on page 15).

Master/slave stand-alone operation

Important! Do not set more than one fixture on a data link as master, and

do not set a fixture as master on a data link with a DMX
controller. Doing so may cause damage to the electronics that is
not covered by the product warranty.

In master/slave stand-alone operation, one master fixture transmits a
synchronizing signal to slave fixtures over the data link each time it starts a
new action. Slave fixtures start their next programmed action when they
receive this signal from the master fixture. Programs can be identical on all
fixtures, or fixtures can – subject to certain practical constraints – run
programs that are synchronized but not identical.

Note that:

• Colors are always displayed in the order: white, red, green then blue. This

means for example that if red is activated, it will always be first in the
program. If red is not activated but green is activated, green will be first in
the program.

• Each fixture follows the program set on its own DIP switch as described in

“DIP-switch settings in stand-alone mode” on page 15.

More sophisticated light shows can be programmed using a DMX controller
(see “DMX-controlled operation” on page 21).

The synchronization signal used by Stage Cyclo fixtures is identical to that
used in other DMX-controllable Cyclo fixtures with the same number of
tubes, allowing these products to be combined in master/slave operation on
one data link.

Stand-alone operation 17

Identical light shows

Master and slave fixtures can be set to behave identically. In this mode, the
master sends synchronizing signals to the slaves, and all fixtures run the
same light show. Each slave fixture follows the program set on its own DIP
switch, so for identical operation, all fixtures’ DIP switch settings must be the
same apart from pin 9, which is set to ON for slaves and OFF for the master.

Synchronized non-identical light shows

It is also possible to synchronize changes but program slave fixtures to
behave differently from the master. To use this feature effectively, you need
to plan your light show using scenes as building blocks and set the fixtures’
DIP switches accordingly.

A scene is a change from one output to another. When a fixture is in slave
mode, it starts a scene when it receives a synchronization signal from the
master. The time taken by the scene is determined by the speed setting of
the DIP switch. A slave will not respond to new synchronization signals until
its scene is complete.

When crossfading is selected, each color takes up one scene (fade in only).
When blackout fading is selected, each color takes up two scenes (fade in
and fade out). This means that a maximum of 8 scenes can be programmed
with all 4 tubes activated and blackout fading selected.

Each time the master fixture starts at scene 1, it sends a signal to all the
slave fixtures to start at scene 1. This means that if a slave fixture has:

1. Fewer scenes than the master fixture, it will run these in a cycle until the
master fixture signals that the program should start from the beginning
again.

2. More scenes than the master, the additional scenes will never run,
because the program will reset to the first scene when the master starts
its program from the beginning.

Here is an example of what will happen if a slave fixture has fewer scenes
than the master fixture:

Fixture setting Scene pattern

Master with 6 scenes 123456 123456 123456 ...
Slave with 4 scenes 123412 123412 123412 ...

Activating master/slave stand-alone operation

To activate master/slave stand-alone operation:

1. Power all fixtures off.

2. Set all fixtures as slaves and put them into stand-alone mode by setting
DIP switch pins 9 and 10 to ON.

3. Decide which fixture to use as master and set this fixture’s DIP switch pin
9 to OFF. Note that any fixture can be set as master, but you will obtain
the most reliable data signal by either setting the first fixture on the link as
master or using RJ-45 DMX termination plugs at both ends of the data
link.

4. When power is applied, slave fixtures will go to the next scene in their
program each time the master goes to its next scene. Slave fixtures will
also start scene 1 of their programs each time the master starts scene 1
of its program.

20 Stage Cyclo user manual

DMX-controlled operation

The Stage Cyclo may be operated with any USITT DMX (1990) lighting
control device. The fluorescent tubes can be dimmed from maximum output
right down to zero using four channels on a DMX controller. This allows a
wide range of color shades with almost infinitely variable intensity to be
obtained using additive color mixing. The color temperature of white light
can be fine-tuned by running the white tube at high power and adding blue
or red at low power. Replacement white tubes with various color
temperatures are available (see “Accessories” on page 31).

The four DMX channels are used to control the tubes as follows:

• First channel: white

• Second channel: red

• Third channel: green

• Fourth channel: blue

Setting a DMX control address

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first of the four
DMX control channels used. It must be set on the fixture’s DIP switch before
the controller can send commands to the fixture. The Stage Cyclo responds
to commands sent to the DMX address and the next three channels. For
example, if the DMX address is set to 100, the Stage Cyclo uses channels
100, 101, 102 and 103.

Allow enough channels when setting the DMX address. If control channels
for two fixtures overlap, one of the fixtures will receive the wrong
commands.

If two or more Stage Cyclos
share the same DMX address,
they will receive the same
commands and respond
identically. Individual control
will be impossible.

To access the fixture’s DIP
switch, slide the hatch open
by pulling on the pin in the
connections panel recess (see
Figure 11)

Figure 11: DIP switch access

DMX-controlled operation 21

The default factory-set control address is ‘1’. To reset the Stage Cyclo’s
DMX address:

1. Decide on a DMX address for the fixture. If you are calculating the DMX
addresses for multiple fixtures, save time by using the online Martin
Address Calculator at
http://www.martin.dk/service/utilities/AddrCalc/index.asp (see illustration
below).

2. You can also look up DIP-switch settings using the Martin DIP Switch

Calculator, available for use and downloadable free at
http://www.martin.dk/service/dipswitchpopup.htm
If you do not have Internet access, refer to "Table 2: DMX address DIP-
switch settings" on page 23.

3. Set DIP switch pins 1 through 9 to ON (1) or OFF (0) to set the address.

22 Stage Cyclo user manual

To use this table, first find the DMX address in the main block in the table.
Then read the settings for pins 1 - 5 to the left and read the settings for pins
6 - 9 above the address. “0” means OFF and “1” means ON.

For example, to set the DMX address to 101, you need to set DIP-switch
pins 1, 3, 6 and 7 to ON, as highlighted in the table.

DMX-controlled operation 23

Service

With long-life fluorescent tubes and virtually no moving parts, the Stage
Cyclo is almost service-free.

Fluorescent tubes

The Osram high output T5 tubes fitted as standard meet color specifications
for at least 10 000 hours, after which color intensity may gradually fall.
Average tube life is 20 000 hours, but note that tube life will vary depending
on operating conditions.

Tube positions

Tube positions in the Stage Cyclo are identified as shown below:

Marking in

R

G

B

No marking. Tube
located above
diffuser.

The burning positions of fluorescent tubes affect their warm-up times,
operating temperature, light output and tube life. For best results:

• Install tubes so that the manufacturer’s markings are all at the same end

of the fixture.

• If the fixture is mounted in a vertical position or at an angle from the

horizontal, place the ends of the tubes that carry the manufacturer’s
markings at the lower end of the fixture (in a cold environment, i.e. where
temperatures are generally around or below freezing point, locate the
markings at the upper end of the fixture).

Changing a tube

3

To change a tube:

1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

2. For access to the white tube, use a 3mm Allen key to remove the 8
retaining screws and remove the front frame (G) and clear plastic cover
(F). Be ready to catch the reflector, as this is a loose fit in the housing, but
note that a ground (earth) lead connects the reflector to the housing.
Disconnect this lead and remove the reflector.

Figure 12: Access to white tube

3. To remove a tube, press on
the metal caps at both ends of
the tube and rotate the tube
1/4 turn in whichever direction
is easiest. Then slide the
tube’s terminal pins out of their
sockets. Support the tube at
both ends as it is released.

Figure 13: Tube removal

Service 25

4. For access to the colored tubes, remove the eight Pozidriv PZ2 screws
and remove the diffuser.

Figure 14: Access to colored tubes

5. When installing new tubes, line them up so that the manufacturer’s
markings on all tubes are at the same end of the fixture. Slide the tube’s
terminal pins fully into their sockets and rotate the tube 1/4 turn to
engage the pins. Check that the tube is held securely in the sockets.

6. Replace all components – remembering to attach the earth strap to the
reflector – before reapplying power.

Main fuse

The main fuseholder is located in the connections panel recess (see
“Product overview” on page 4´). Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the
fuseholder cover approximately 1/8 turn to release the cover and main fuse.

Isolate the fixture from power and make sure power cannot be reapplied
accidentally before changing the fuse.

Never replace a fuse with one of a different type or rating. See “Power” on
page 30 for main fuse details.

Cleaning

Turn off power to the fixture before cleaning, and use a damp cloth to wipe
clean.
