PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Do not remove any cover from the fixture except as described under “Service and maintenance” on
page 12.

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before servicing it and when it is not in use.

• Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth).

• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.

• The power input cable must be rated 20 A, hard usage type and heat-resistant to 90° C (194° F)
minimum. It must have three conductors and an outer cable diameter of 5 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.). In North
America the cable must be 12 AWG minimum conductor size, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cable
must be 2.5 mm² minimum conductor size, type H05VV-F or equivalent.

• Before using the fixture, check that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition
and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices.

• Isolate the fixture from power immediately if the power plug or any seal, cover, cable, or other component
is damaged, defective, deformed, wet or showing signs of overheating. Do not reapply power until repairs
have been completed.

• Use only a Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA cable connector to connect to the power input socket.

• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

• Refer any service operation not described in this manual or in the MAC Quantum Wash User Guide to
Martin™ Service or an authorized Martin™ Service partner.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE

• The exterior of the fixture becomes hot. Take care when handling.

• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.2 m (8 in.) away from the fixture.

• Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.

• Ensure that there is free and unobstructed airflow around the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.2 m (8 in.) around fans and air vents.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 2.0 m (6.6 ft.) of the fixture.

• Do not expose the front glass to sunlight or any other strong light source from any angle. Lenses can
focus the sun's rays inside the fixture, creating a potential fire hazard.

• Do not attempt to bypass thermostatic switches or fuses.

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

• Do not modify the fixture in any way not described in this manual or the product’s User Guide or install
other than genuine Martin™ parts. Do not stick filters, masks or other materials onto any lens or other
optical component. Use only accessories approved by Martin™ to mask or modify the light beam.

PROTECTION FROM EYE INJURY

• Do not look at LEDs with magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments that may
concentrate the light output.

• Ensure that persons are not looking at the LEDs when the product lights up suddenly. This can happen
when power is applied, when the product receives a DMX signal, or when certain control menu items are
selected.

• To minimize the risk of eye irritation or injury, disconnect the fixture from power at all times when the
fixture is not in use, and provide well-lit conditions to reduce the pupil diameter of anyone working on or
near the fixture.

PROTECTION FROM INJURY

• Fasten the fixture securely to a fixed surface or structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when
installed.

• Do not lift or carry the fixture alone.

• Use two evenly spaced clamps to suspend the fixture from rigging structures. Do not use only one clamp.

• When clamping the fixture to a truss or other supporting structure at any other angle than with the yoke
hanging vertically downwards, use two half-coupler clamps. Do not use G-clamps, quick-trigger clamps or
any other type of clamp that does not completely encircle the supporting structure when fastened.

• When suspending the fixture, ensure that the supporting structure and all hardware used can hold at least
10 times the weight of all devices suspended from them.

• If the fixture is installed in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install as described in
this manual a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that is approved by an official body such as
TÜV as a safety attachment for the weight that it secures. The safety cable must comply with EN
60598-2-17 Section 17.6.6 and be capable of bearing a static suspended load that is ten times the weight
of the fixture and all installed accessories.

• 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.

• Allow enough clearance around the head to ensure that it cannot collide with an object or another fixture
when it moves.

• Check that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened.

Unpacking

The MAC Quantum Wash is packaged in either a
cardboard box or a flightcase that is designed to protect
the product during shipment.

This Safety and Installation Manual is included with the
product. The MAC Quantum Wash User Guide,
containing full details of setting up, controlling and
monitoring the fixture, is available for download from the
MAC Quantum Wash Product Support page on the
Martin website at www.martin.com. If you have any
difficulty locating this document, please contact your
Martin supplier for assistance.

Tilt lock

Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture.
See Figure 1. Release the tilt lock by pushing the lock in

towards the yoke (you can reapply the tilt lock by first
checking that the power is off and then pushing the lock
back in towards the yoke from the other side).

Packing

Important! Release the tilt lock and allow the fixture to cool before packing it in its flightcase.

The anti-shock material in the MAC Quantum Wash flightcase is designed to protect the head without the tilt
lock applied. Release the tilt lock when transporting the fixture in the flightcase. Leaving the tilt lock applied
may cause damage that is not covered by the product warranty.

6 MAC Quantum Wash Safety and Installation Manual

Physical installation

Figure 2: Potential sunlight damage

Figure 3: Clamp bracket positions

Warning! The MAC Quantum Wash has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the head is
panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a surface. Do
not apply power to the MAC Quantum Wash unless the base is securely fastened to a surface or to
rigging hardware.

Warning! Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Do not hang the fixture from only one clamp. Lock each
clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. Fasteners are locked only when turned a full 90° clockwise.

Warning! When suspending the fixture above ground level, secure it against failure of primary
attachments by attaching a safety wire that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the
fixture to the attachment point in the base. Do not use the carrying handles for secondary
attachment.

Warning! When clamping the fixture to a truss or other structure at any other angle than with the
yoke hanging vertically downwards, use two clamps of half-coupler type. Do not use any type of
clamp that does not completely encircle the structure when fastened.

Warning! Position or shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another
strong light source from any angle – even for a few seconds. See Figure 2. The MAC Quantum
Wash’s lens can focus the sun's rays, creating a potential fire hazard and causing damage.

Important! Do not point the output from other lighting fixtures at the MAC Quantum Wash from a
distance of less than 3 m (10 ft.), as intense illumination can damage the display.

See Figure 2. Lenses can focus sunlight and
strong light, presenting a risk of fire and
damage to the fixture. Shield or shade the
head if necessary.

The MAC Quantum Wash can
be fastened to a surface such as
a stage or clamped to a truss in
any orientation. Clamps must be
half-coupler type (see Figure 4)
or equivalent type that fully
encircles the truss unless the
fixture is installed with the yoke
hanging vertically downwards,
in which case other clamp types
that are approved for the
supported weight may be used.

The mounting points in the base
allow omega brackets and
rigging clamps to be fastened
as shown in Figure 3.

1. Check that all rigging hardware is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

Check that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,
auxiliary equipment, etc.

2. Bolt each rigging clamp securely to an omega bracket with an M12 bolt (minimum grade 8.8) and

self-locking nut.

3. See Figure 3 on page 7. Align the first

clamp and bracket with 2 mounting points
in the base, and engage both the clamp
bracket’s quarter-turn fasteners in
corresponding sockets in the base. See
Figure 4. Turn the levers on the
quarter-turn fasteners a full 90° clockwise
to lock. Repeat for the second clamp.

4. Block access under the work area. See

Figure 5. Note the position of the arrow
marked FRONT on the base of the fixture.
Working from a stable platform, hang the
fixture on the truss with the arrow marked
FRONT facing towards the area to be
illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamps.

5. See Figure 6. Install a safety cable that is

approved as a safety attachment for the
weight of the fixture by looping it through
the safety attachment point (arrowed) in
the bottom of the base and around a
secure anchoring point so that the safety
cable will catch the fixture if a primary
attachment fails.

6. Check that the tilt lock is released. Check

that there are no combustible materials
within 0.2 m (8 in.) or surfaces to be
illuminated within 2.0 m (6.6 ft.) of the
fixture, and that there are no flammable
materials nearby.

7. Check that there is no possibility of heads

or yokes colliding with other fixtures.

8. Check that other lighting fixtures cannot project light at the MAC Quantum Wash from a distance of less

than 3 m (10 ft.), as intense illumination can damage the MAC Quantum Wash’s display.
