Introduction

Warning! Before using the MAC Quantum Wash™, read the latest version of the product’s Safety and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section.

This User Guide is a supplement to the Installation and Safety Manual that is supplied with the MAC Quantum Wash. Both these documents are available for download from the Martin™ website at www.martin.com. This User Guide contains information that is mainly of interest for lighting designers and operators, whereas the Safety and Installation Manual contains important information for all users, especially installers and technicians.

We recommend that you check the Martin™ website regularly for updated documentation, because we publish revised versions each time we can improve the quality of the information we provide and each time we release new firmware with changes or new features. Each time we revise this guide, we list any important changes on page 2 so that you can keep track of updates.

Effects

This section gives details of the effects that can be controlled via DMX. See the DMX protocol tables starting on page 18 for details of the channels used to control them.

Where fine control is available, the main control channel sets the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channel sets the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel.

Beam zones

The LED array in the MAC Quantum Wash can be controlled in three beam zones plus the Aura:

•Center spot

• Middle ring

• Outer ring

• Aura (backlight effect)

Zones can be controlled together in various combinations or independently.

Color control

The ‘color wheel effect’ channel offers a range of single-color presets which control the fixture’s beam zones together, plus a range of split-color presets in which center, middle and outer rings display different colors to give multicolored beam and projection effects.

In Extended DMX control mode the ‘color wheel effect’ can be applied to all the beam zones as one unit. 8-bit RGB color mixing is available for each of the beam zones independently. The ‘color wheel’ can also be applied to the Aura (backlight).

In Basic DMX control mode from software version 2.0.0, the ‘color wheel effect’ can be applied to all the beam zones together. 16-bit RGB color control for all the beam zones together is also available.

White LEDs are not controlled separately but are deployed automatically as required during color mixing.

Beam Twister

The MAC Quantum Wash uses a rotating lens array over the outer ring of LEDs to provide ‘Beam Twister’ effects. Combining use of the rotating lens array, the zoom system and the fixture’s different beam zones gives complex and dynamic multicolored mid-air beam, projection and front glass effects.

In Extended mode, you can set the Beam Twister effect to an indexed angle or rotate it with variable speed in either direction You can also select from a range of pre-programmed Beam Twister effects that combine lens rotation, zoom and multicolored beam zones.

Color temperature control

The MAC Quantum Wash provides white output with CTC (color temperature control) that is controllable from 2000 K to 10 000 K in precise 50 K increments.

Electronic shutter and strobe effects

Electronic shutter/strobe effects include instant blackout and snap open as well as a regular or random strobe with variable speed from 1 Hz to 20 Hz.

Effects 5

Page 6

Dimming

16-bit resolution overall dimming is available in both Basic and Extended modes.

Zoom

The zoom system lets you vary the beam angle to allow wide or tight washlight and mid-air beam effects. The zoom adds visual impact to beam effects when combined with the Beam Twister.

Pan and tilt

8-bit and 16-bit pan and tilt control are available in both Basic and Extended modes.

FX: pre-programmed effects

From software version 2.0.0, a library of pre-programmed effects is available via DMX in Extended mode. These effects are called FX in this manual and in the fixture menus. The library is available twice in the DMX channel layout with identical functions and effects, and two different FX can be combined and run simultaneously with one ‘superimposed’ over the other.

See “FX: pre-programmed effects” on page 28 for an overview of the FX available.

Some FX make one function depend on another (AURA COLOR OFFSET makes the Aura color follow changes in the color of the other beam zones but with an offset on the color circle, for example). Other FX consist of repeating cycles of effects.

You select an FX on DMX channel 14 or 16. If you want to run two FX in combination, make a selection on both channel 14 and 16.

Where modification is possible, the selected FX can be modified using its FX adjust channel. Modifications can include speed, amount, offset, smoothness, etc. depending on the FX selected.

FX Sync

If two or more fixtures are set to display the same FX (and if the FX consists of a repeating cycle), its start point and duration can be synchronized in multiple fixtures by sending commands on the FX Synchronization channel. For synchronization to work, you must send the commands to all the fixtures at the same time.

Synchronized and sync shift FX display

You can set fixtures so that they all start the FX cycle at the same time or you can shift a fixture’s FX start time so that it displays its FX in sync with other fixtures but with a time offset (delayed start). If you send a 180° offset command, for example, the fixture will start its FX cycle halfway through the cycle of a fixture that has no offset.

Random operation

The random start option randomizes the starting points of FX cycles in multiple fixtures. The overall speed of the FX is controlled on its adjust channel.

The random duration option randomizes the duration of FX. If you set multiple fixtures to random duration, the duration of an FX cycle will be different in the different fixtures. You can use each fixture’s FX adjust channel to set an upper limit for the speed of the FX cycle in that fixture.

FX priority and overriding

If an FX is activated, it overrides any other settings for the parameters that the FX modifies. For example, an FX that modifies the zoom will override any zoom angle set on the zoom channel.

If the same FX is selected on both the FX1 select and FX2 select channels, only the FX1 adjust channel is active. The FX2 adjust channel is ignored.

If different FX are selected on the FX1 select and FX2 select channels, FX2 is superimposed onto FX1 and FX2 overrides FX1 whenever both FX modify the same parameter.

DMX ADDRESS

DMX RANGE 1–33

A - Menu B - Up/Down C - Enter

D - Status LED E - USB port

You can configure individual fixture settings (such as the MAC Quantum Wash’s DMX address), read out data, execute service operations and view error messages using the fixture’s backlit graphic display and control panel.

When the MAC Quantum Wash is powered on, it first boots and resets, then it displays its DMX address (or its fixture ID number, if one has been set) and any status messages (see page 33) in the display A.

The display can be set to automatically rotate to match standing or hanging fixture orientation in the

PERSONALITY → DISPLAY menu or the Shortcuts menu (see “Shortcuts” on page 8).

Using the control panel

• Press the Menu button A or Enter button C to access the menus.

• Use the Up and Down buttons B to scroll up and down menus.

• Press the Enter button C to enter a menu or make a selection.

• The currently selected item in a menu is indicated by a star .

• Press the Menu button A to step backwards through the menus.

Status LED

The LED D next to the control buttons indicates fixture status depending on the color displayed and DMX status depending on whether the LED flashes or lights constantly:

• GREEN: All parameters normal.

• AMBER: Warning (service interval exceeded, for example). If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the warning message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is

set to Silent, the display must be activated by pressing the Enter button C to display the warning message.

• RED: Error detected. If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the error message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is set

to Silent, display the error message BY GOING TO NORMAL OR SERVICE - ERROR LIST.

• FLASHING: No DMX signal detected.

• CONSTANT: Valid DMX signal detected.

Control panel operations 7

Battery power

The MAC Quantum Wash’s onboard battery gives access to the most important functions in the control panel when the fixture is not connected to AC power. The following functions are available on battery power:

• DMX address

• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)

• Fixture ID

• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all display settings, error mode)

• Default settings

• Information (Power On Hours and Power Cycles counters, Software version)

• Error list

To activate the display when the fixture is not connected to power, press the Menu button A. Press again to enter the menus. The display extinguishes after 10 seconds with no user input and the control panel is de-activated after 1 minute with no user input. Press the Menu button A again to re-activate.

Shortcuts

If you hold the Menu button A pressed in for 2 - 3 seconds, a shortcut menu with the most important commands appears. Select a command with the Up and Down buttons B and press the Enter button C to activate, or press the Menu button again to cancel.

• RESET ALL resets the whole fixture

• ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the MAC Quantum Wash display 180°.

Settings stored permanently

The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the MAC Quantum Wash off and on or by updating the fixture software:

• DMX address

• DMX control mode (Basic/Extended)

• Fixture ID

• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, fan clean mode, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all display settings, error mode)

• Resettable counters

• Service settings (calibration, firmware)

These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.

Service mode

Holding the Menu and Enter buttons A and C both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the fixture into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a SERV warning appears in the display. Service mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during lamp adjustment. Cycling power and allowing the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.

DMX address

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. If you give two MAC Quantum Wash fixtures the same address, they will behave identically. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.

DMX addressing is limited to make it impossible to set the DMX address so high that you are left without enough control channels for the fixture.

To set the fixture’s DMX address:

1. Press Enter to open the main menu.

2. Press Enter to enter the DMX ADDRESS menu, then scroll to the desired address and press Enter to

save.

3. Press Menu to exit.

The CONTROL MODE menu lets you set the MAC Quantum Wash to one of the two DMX operating modes, basic 16-bit and extended 16-bit:

• Basic 16-bit mode offers coarse control of all effects plus fine control of RGB, dimmer, pan and tilt.

• Extended 16-bit mode provides coarse control only of RGB plus all the features of basic 16-bit mode plus control of the Beam Twister effect and independent control of the different beam zones Outer, Middle, Center and Aura. It also gives access to the range of pre-programmed FX.

To set the fixture’s DMX mode:

1. Press Enter to enter the main menu.

2. Scroll to CONTROL MODE, then press Enter. Scroll to select either BASIC or EXTENDED, then press

Enter to save.

3. Press Menu to exit.

Fixture ID

The MAC Quantum Wash lets you set a four-digit ID number to ease identification of the fixtures in an installation. When a fixture is powered on for the first time, it displays its DMX address by default. As soon as you set an ID number other than 0 in FIXTURE ID, the MAC Quantum Wash will display this ID number by default, and indicate FIXTURE ID in the display.

Personality

The MAC Quantum Wash provides several options that let you optimize the fixture for different applications in the PERSONALITY menu:

• The PAN/TILT menu lets you swap and/or invert pan and tilt.

• The SPEED menu lets you set PAN/TILT to NORMAL, FAST (optimized for speed) or SLOW (optimized for smooth movement – useful for slow movements in long-throw applications). Likewise, you can select an overall speed for all the effects by setting EFFECT speed to NORMAL, FAST or SLOW. You can also set effect speed to FOLLOW P/T, in which effects will always use whatever speed is set for pan and tilt.

• DIMMER CURVE provides four dimming options (see Figure 2):

- LINEAR – (optically linear) the increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is

increased.

- S-CURVE – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.

This curve emulates the RMS voltage dimming characteristics of an incandescent lamp such as the tungsten halogen lamp of the Martin™ MAC TW1™.

- SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.

- INV SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.

• COLOR MODE offers two options that affect color saturation and evenness between fixtures:

- Extended Color mode optimizes LED deployment for color saturation and gets the deepest color

saturation possible from the LEDs. The white color point is calibrated and even across different fixtures, but as the fixture approaches full color saturation there can be very small differences in color rendition between different fixtures.

Control panel operations 9

Page 10

- Calibrated Color mode (called Common Color mode in fixture software v.1.1.0) optimizes LED

deployment for even color rendition between fixtures. All fixtures display identical color from white point to full color saturation, and maximum color saturation levels are limited slightly to ensure this.

• VIDEO TRACKING optimizes performance if the MAC Quantum Wash is used with a video source. In normal use, the fixture processes the DMX signal it receives, tracking (or smoothing out) changes in

values in order to ensure smooth fading between colors and/or intensities. This signal processing takes fractions of a second and is normally invisible, but if the fixture is used to display video (using Martin P3™ video system components to convert video to DMX, for example) the processing can interfere with video response times. If you enable video tracking, the fixture does not ‘smooth out’ DMX input but instead snaps instantly when a DMX value changes.

For best results, we recommend that you enable video tracking during video display and disable it (the default setting) during normal DMX control.

• DMX RESET defines whether the fixture or individual effects can be reset by sending a DMX command on the fixture settings channel. Setting it to OFF can help you avoid accidentally sending a Reset command during a show, for example.

• EFFECT SHORTCUT determines whether the effects take the shortest path between two positions (shortcuts enabled) or not (shortcuts disabled). If shortcuts are enabled, the virtual color wheel effect can go through a virtual open position during changes from one color to another just as a mechanical color wheel would.

• COOLING MODE lets you select between two cooling fan options depending on whether your priority is highest light output or quietest cooling fan operation:

- REGULATE FANS optimizes cooling fan operation for light output. It controls fixture temperature by

varying cooling fan speed up to the maximum speed available and does not limit light intensity.

- REGULATE INTENSITY optimizes cooling fan operation for quietness. It limits cooling fan speed to a

level that causes minimal noise and controls fixture temperature by limiting light intensity when necessary.

• DISPLAY offers the following options for the LCD display:

- DISPLAY SLEEP determines whether the display remains on permanently, or goes into sleep mode 2,

5 or 10 minutes after the last time a control panel button is pressed.

- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you define the brightness of the display backlighting. Select Auto for

automatic adjustment to match the ambient light level, or manually set the intensity to a level from 0% to 100%.

- DISPLAY ROTATION lets you rotate the display manually through 180° so that it can be read easily no

matter how the fixture is oriented. If set to Auto, the MAC Quantum Wash senses its orientation and rotates the display automatically.

- DISPLAY CONTRAST lets you define the contrast of the backlit graphic display. Select Auto for

automatic adjustment to match display intensity, or manually set the contrast to a level from 0% to 100%.

• ERROR MODE enables or disables error warnings. If set to NORMAL, the display is activated and lights up if the fixture needs to report an error. If set to SILENT, the fixture does not light the display with error warnings but error messages can still be read when the display is activated manually. In both NORMAL and SILENT modes, the status LED lights amber to indicate a warning and red to indicate an error.

Factory defaults

FACTORY DEFAULT lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not

affected, so any changes you have made to zoom, pan and tilt offsets will be kept.

Custom settings

The custom configuration function CUSTOM 1 - CUSTOM 3 allows you to save and recall up to three sets of fixture settings. The savable settings comprise:

• all the settings in the PERSONALITY menu,

• the fixture’s DMX address, and

• the fixture’s DMX control mode: Extended 16-bit or Basic 16-bit mode.

Fixture information readouts

The following fixture information can be called up in the display:

• POWER ON TIME provides two counters:

- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays total hours powered on since manufacture.

- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of hours the fixture has been

powered on since the counter was last reset.

• POWER ON CYCLES also provides two counters:

- The TOTAL counter is not user-resettable and displays the total number of power on/off cycles since

manufacture.

- The RESETTABLE counter is user-resettable and displays the number of power on/off cycles since the

counter was last reset.

• SW VERSION displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.

• RDM UID displays the fixture’s factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.

• FAN SPEEDS provides separate status readouts from the fixture’s cooling fans.

• TEMPERATURES provides separate PCB temperature readouts.

DMX signal monitoring

The MAC Quantum Wash provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This information can be useful for troubleshooting control problems.

RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.

QUALITY displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the most common cause of control problems.

START CODE displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular performance.

The remaining options under DMX LIVE display the DMX values in a range from 0 - 255 that are being received on each channel. The DMX channels displayed depend on whether the fixture is in Basic or Extended mode.

Test sequences

TEST activates effects in sequence, allowing you to test all effects, pan and tilt movement only, or effects

only (i.e. without pan and tilt movement) without a DMX controller:

• Select a test type and press Enter to start the test.

• Press Menu to stop the test.

Manual control

The MANUAL CONTROL menu lets you reset the MAC Quantum Wash and operate the fixture without a DMX controller. To execute commands in the MANUAL CONTROL menu, select a menu item for the effect that you want to control, then enter a value from 0 to 255 to apply a command. The menu items and values correspond to the commands listed in the DMX protocol on page 18.

Control panel operations 11

Page 12

Adjusting settings via DMX

Certain fixture settings and parameters can be adjusted from the DMX controller on the Fixture control/settings channel.

Commands sent on the fixture control channel override any settings entered in the fixture’s onboard control menus.

To help you avoid accidentally applying a setting that may disrupt a light show, for example, most of the commands must be held for a certain time before they are applied. For example, the command that turns off the display illumination must be held for one second to activate it. The command that resets the fixture must be held for five seconds to activate it. The times required to apply DMX commands on the Fixture control/settings channel are listed for each command on page 21 in the DMX protocol.

Resetting

Either the entire fixture or individual effects can be reset to their initial positions. Resetting individual effects can allow on-the-fly recovery if an effect loses its correct position, for example, without having to reset the entire fixture.

Illuminating the display

The fixture’s display panel can be brought out of sleep mode with a DMX command. This makes it possible to read the fixture’s DMX address while the fixture is installed in the rig.

After being illuminated in this way, the display will return to sleep mode according to the setting entered in the onboard control menus.

Control menu setting overrides

The following fixture settings can be adjusted via DMX, overriding the settings entered in the onboard control menus. See under “Control panel menus” on page 30 for details of these settings.

• Dimming curve

• Pan and tilt speed

• Parameter shortcuts (beam twister shortcuts)

• Video tracking

• Color mode

• Fan speed

• Pan/tilt and zoom calibration offsets

Changing calibration offsets using DMX

The Fixture control/settings DMX channel allows pan, tilt and zoom to be calibrated by changing their factory default offsets IN PERCENT from the DMX controller.

To set an effect offset:

1. Set the effect you want to calibrate to a specific value via DMX (for example, set all the fixtures in a

group to DMX value 200 on the zoom channel).

2. Select ‘Enable calibration’ on the Fixture control/settings channel and hold for 5 seconds to activate.

3. The DMX control channels for pan, tilt and zoom now adjust the calibration offsets for those effects.

Adjust each offset until the effect is in the required position (for example, adjust the zoom offset on each fixture in the group until the beam angle on all fixtures is identical – this is the position you will obtain when you send DMX value 200).

4. Send a ‘Store ...’ command for the effect on the Fixture control/settings channel and hold for 5 seconds

to activate. Calibration offsets are now stored in memory and normal DMX control is restored.

12 MAC Quantum Wash User Guide

Page 13

Calibration offsets that are stored in memory are not affected by powering the fixture off and on or by updating the fixture software.

You can reset all calibration offsets to their default values by sending a DMX value on the Fixture control/settings channel. You must hold the value for 5 seconds. The fixture will return to factory default calibration values. If you have overwritten the factory default values by applying a CALIBRATION → SAVE DEFAULTS command in the SERVICE menu, the fixture will return to the last default calibration values that were saved).

RDM

The MAC Quantum Wash can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with ESTA’s American National Standard E1.20-2006: Entertainment Technology RDM Remote Device Management Over DMX512 Networks.

RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring.

The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting existing non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific fixtures.

RDM ID

Each MAC Quantum Wash has a factory-set RDM UID (unique identification number) that makes it addressable and identifiable in RDM systems. The number can be found in the control panel

INFORMATION menu under RDM UID.

RDM communication

The MAC Quantum Wash supports the standard RDM PIDs (Parameter IDs) required by ESTA plus a range of manufacturer-specific PIDs. Sending SUPPORTED_PARAMETERS and PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION commands from an RDM controller will call up a list of the PIDs supported in the firmware version installed in the fixture.

Software service functions

Service utilities

The control panel SERVICE menu provides utilities for technicians rigging or servicing the fixture:

• ERROR LIST displays any error messages that are stored in internal memory.

• FAN CLEAN lets you set all cooling fans to run at maximum speed for short periods for cleaning purposes.

• PT FEEDBACK lets you disable feedback to the fixture software from the pan, tilt and effects positioning systems. If feedback is set to ON and a pan, tilt or effect position error is detected, the shutter closes and the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by setting feedback to OFF. The OFF setting is not saved when the fixture is powered off, and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If a pan/tilt position error occurs and the system cannot correct pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled.

• ADJUST contains only one menu item that the user may need: it lets you adjust pan and tilt if you upgrade the fixture’s firmware from version 1.x.x to version 2.0.0 or later. If your fixture is running firmware

2.0.0 or later, you have no need to enter this menu. Fixtures from early 2015 are supplied with firmware version 2.0.0 installed at the factory. Do not open any other items in the ADJUST menu.

• CALIBRATION lets you set new default positions for calibration purposes, set effects to their factory default positions or overwrite the factory default positions with new values. See ”Calibration” below.

• USB lets you updates the firmware (fixture software) using a USB memory device. For a detailed guide to updating the firmware, see ”Installing using a USB memory device” later in this chapter.

Calibration

Martin™ fixtures are adjusted and calibrated at the factory, and further calibration will normally only be necessary if fixtures have been subjected to abnormal shocks during transport, if normal wear and tear has affected alignment after an extended period of use. You can also use calibration to fine-tune fixtures for a particular location or application.

The CALIBRATION menu lets you define offsets in the fixture software to adjust the positions of pan, tilt and zoom relative to the DMX values the fixture receives. This allows you to fine-tune fixtures and achieve uniform behavior in different fixtures.

Calibration can be carried out using the fixture’s onboard control panel and via DMX (see ”Changing calibration offsets using DMX” on page 12).

A recommended procedure is to set pan, tilt and zoom to the same DMX values in multiple fixtures and then calibrate each fixture using its onboard control panel while comparing its light output with a reference fixture. The calibration range available for each effect varies. Calibration values are expressed as percentages. After selecting a value, press Enter to set the effect to that value.

Loading and storing default calibration offsets

In the SERVICE → CALIBRATION menu, LOAD DEFAULTS lets you erase the calibration offsets that you have defined and reload the default calibration offsets that are stored in memory.

SERVICE → CALIBRATION → SAVE DEFAULTS lets you overwrite the factory default calibration offsets that are stored in memory with any new offsets that you have defined. Overwriting is permanent, so once you have saved new default offsets, LOAD DEFAULTS will load the new defaults, not the original factory defaults.

Updating from firmware version 1.x.x to 2.0.0

Figure 3: Pan/tilt adjustment positions

Firmware versions 1.0.0 and 1.1.0 did not feature the FX in Extended mode and 16-bit RGB control in Basic mode (as well as other improvements) that are available in v. 2.0.0. Updating to v. 2.0.0 will give you access to these features, but bear in mind that v. 2.0.0 is a major update and that you cannot roll back to an earlier firmware version once you have installed v. 2.0.0.

Pan and tilt adjustment after updating to version 2.0.0

Firmware version 2.0.0 introduces more precise pan/tilt control functionality. If you are running a fixture with v. 1.0.0 or v. 1.1.0 and update to v. 2.0.0, the fixture will probably display a PTCM short error code and a P/T SENSOR ADJUST message because of the new functionality. If the fixture displays this error code, you must adjust pan and tilt before using the fixture. Adjustment takes approximately two minutes.

To adjust pan and tilt:

1. Make sure that the fixture is held securely and

apply power.

2. Enter the menus and go to SERVICE →

ADJUST → PAN/TILT AT END STOP.

3. Select STEP 1 and press ENTER.

4. See Figure 3. Take the yoke in your hands

and rotate it clockwise A (when looking from the top of the head towards the base) until it reaches the end stop at the limit of clockwise pan. Then tilt the head B as far as possible away from the power cable side of the base towards the display side.

5. Be prepared for the head to move suddenly.

Press ENTER again and give the head a few seconds to move and carry out basic self-adjustment.

6. When the head has finished moving, press

MENU to exit STEP 1. Scroll to STEP 2 and press ENTER.

7. Repeat steps 4. and 5. as described above

and give the head approximately two minutes to move and carry out more precise self-adjustment.

8. When the head has finished moving, press and hold MENU to exit the control menus. Pan and tilt are

now correctly adjusted for firmware version 2.0.0.

Service and display messages

The MAC Quantum Wash gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance, allowing easier reading with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed information.

Warning messages

Warning messages indicate that either:

• problems might appear in the future if no action is taken, or

• the user needs to pay special attention to a function or procedure when working with the fixture.

The MAC Quantum Wash communicates warnings as follows:

• Warning codes are shown continuously in the display and disappear when the user reacts to the warning.

• If more than one warning is detected, all warnings are displayed in sequence.

• If the display is inactive, the fixture’s status LED (see Figure 1 on page 7) flashes orange to indicate that there is a warning. Activating the display will show the warning.

The possible warning messages are listed in Table 6 below

SAFETY LOOP A safety loop error occurred but is no longer active. Warning message is cleared at the next

power off/on cycle.

UI TEMP HIGH User interface (LCD display and control panel) PCB sensor detects abnormally high operating

temperature.*

ZF TEMP HIGH Zoom PCB sensor detects abnormally high operating temperature.*

Table 6: Warning messages

*High temperature warnings are canceled as soon as temperature returns to normal. If temperature reaches

cutoff level, the warning is replaced by a cutoff error message.

Error messages

Error messages indicate that a problem is present. The MAC Quantum Wash communicates errors as follows:

• Error messages flash in the display.

• If more than one error is detected, the fixture flashes all errors three times each.

• Errors are shown in the display regardless of display status: they override an inactive display and any other information that the display might be showing.

• If an error is present, the status LED flashes red.
