If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture using a
hanging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means
of support.
If the product is installed in a location where it may cause injury
or damage if it falls, install as directed a secondary attachment
such as a safety cable that will hold the machine if a primary
attachment fails. The secondary attachment must be approved
by an official body such as TÜV as a safety attachment for the
weight that it secures, must comply with EN 60598-2-17 Section
17.6.6 or BGV C1 / DGUV 17, and must be capable of bearing a
static suspended load at least six times the weight of the fixture
(or more if required by locally applicable regulations). Check that
all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable
platform whenever installing, servicing or moving the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers,
shields or any optical component.
In the event of an operating problem, stop using the fixture
immediately and disconnect it from power. Do not attempt to use
a fixture that is obviously damaged.
Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual
or install other than genuine Martin parts.
Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a
qualified technician.
Flashing light can trigger epileptic seizures in flicker-sensitive
persons. Provide notice when strobe lighting is in use at the
entrance(s) to the venue. Mount flashing lights as high above
head height as practicable and avoid extended periods of
continuous flashing, particularly at 10 to 20 flashes per second.
Stop lights from flashing immediately if a person has an epileptic
seizure.

such as a super lightweight half-coupler clamp (shown to right)
fastened to the included mounting bracket.
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. To install the mounting bracket, place the washers in
between the hanging bracket and the fixture. Secure with
the hand wheels. Hand tighten only.
4. Bolt a hanging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The
bolt used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and
fastened with a self-locking nut or a wing-nut/self-locking
washer combination.
5. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture vertically
on the truss and fasten the hanging clamp onto the truss.
6. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed.
Securing with a safety cable
Secure the THRILL Multi-FX LED
with a safety cable or other
secondary attachment that is
approved for the weight of the fixture
to prevent it from falling if the
primary attachment fails. Loop the
safety cable through the secondary
attachment eyebolt and around a
secure anchoring point.
Do not loop the safety cable around
the mounting bracket only, as this
will leave the fixture unsecured if it
separates from the bracket.
AC power
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 prevent damage, do
not use an external dimming system to supply power.
If a suitable IEC extension cord is obtained, additional fixtures
may connected to the MAINS OUT socket, but do not exceed a
maximum current load of 3 A. If supplying power to additional
Multi-FX LED fixtures, you may connect up to:
• Six (6) additional Multi-FX LED fixtures at 100-120 V, or
• Ten (10) additional Multi-FX LED fixtures at 200-240 V.
Maintenance
The user may carry out the maintenance operations described
below. Do not attempt to repair a defective fixture. Refer all
service to your Martin dealer or contact Martin directly for
technical support at http://www.martin.com/contact-support
Do not open the housing; there are no user
serviceable parts inside the fixture.
Disconnect the fixture from mains power
before performing maintenance.
Cleaning
The Multi-FX LED must be cleaned periodically. Excessive dust,
effects fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes
overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by
inadequate cleaning is not covered by the product warranty.
The cleaning schedule will vary greatly depending on the
operating environment. Inspect the fixture once a month and
clean if necessary. Inspect every 1-2 weeks if the fixture is
frequently used with effects machines, in locations with heavy
cigarette smoke, operated or stored in a dusty location, or
installed near an air duct. This procedure will allow you to assess
cleaning requirements in your particular situation.
Keep the fixture dry and use gentle pressure only when cleaning.
Work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any cleanser 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.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from
the outside of the fixture with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean the casing and lenses by wiping gently with a soft,
clean microfiber cloth. Remove stuck particles with an
unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with distilled
water. Do not rub hard.
4. Clean the laser aperture gently with a cotton swap.
Replacing the primary fuse
If the fixture is completely dead, the primary fuse may have
blown. A spare fuse is provided in the fuse holder. To check and
replace the fuse:
1. Unplug the power cord from the MAINS INPUT socket.
2. Pull out the fuse holder.
3. Remove the primary fuse if the wire element is broken or
melted.
4. Place a spare fuse in the primary fuse holder. Replace fuse
with same size and specified rating only.
5. Place the fuse holder in the fixture and reconnect power.
Stop using the fixture if the fuse blows repeatedly.
