RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

AC power

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting
the fixture to AC mains power.

Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with
the fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture
with mains power. Do not connect any device to the
fixture’s MAINS OUT power throughput socket when
using this input cable. If you want to connect other
fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures
to power in a chain’ on page 14.

For protection 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 fixture can easily be
disconnected from power.

Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut
power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the
connectors.

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.

You can hard-wire the fixture to a building electrical installation if you want
to install it permanently. Alternatively, you can install a power plug (not
supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets on the supplied 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 250 V, 6 A.
Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the
power cable as shown in this table:

other voltage or frequency to the fixture.

Linking fixtures to power in a chain

If you obtain 16 A (14 AWG / 1.5 mm2) power input and throughput cables
from Martin™ (see ‘Accessories’ on page 32), you can relay mains power
from one fixture to another by connecting fixtures to power in a linked
daisy-chain, MAINS OUT throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket.

Using 14 AWG or 1.5 mm

2

cables from Martin™, you can link up to fifteen

(15) RUSH FiberSource 1 fixtures in total.

Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cable is secured in
the RUSH FiberSource 1™ cable
port using the included 19 mm
(3/4 in.) fiber optic cable adaptor.
The dimensions are shown on
the right. The adaptor accepts up
to 300 strands of 1 mm fiber
optic filaments and other fiber
optic cables up to a total
diameter of 19 mm (3/4 in.). It
accommodates a cable jacket up
to 32 mm (1.25 in.) in diameter.

Methods for installing the adaptor
on fiber optic cable vary by type.
Please refer to the documentation for the fiber optic cable of your choice
or consult with the cable manufacturer for guidance.

Cable connection

The following guidelines provide a starting point for estimating your needs.
Light transmission through fiber optic cable depends on its quality and
results will vary depending on the type of cable used.

Side-emitting cable

With 1 fixture, best results are had when the fiber optic cable is 10 m (33
ft.) or shorter. The length may be increased by looping the cable and
illuminating both ends, or by using 2 fixtures, one at each end of the cable.

End-emitting cable

Light output decreases with length: keep the cable as short as possible.
The maximum recommended length is 25 m (82 ft.)

14

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

To install fiber optic cable:

1. Install the adaptor on the cable according to the cable manufacturer’s
recommended procedure.

2. Loosen the adaptor set screw.

3. Insert the adaptor fully into the fiber optic cable socket.

4. Tighten the adaptor set screw by hand. Verify that the cable is held
securely.

Controller operation

This section describes how to connect and configure the RUSH
FiberSource 1™

for use with any DMX-512 protocol controller.

Control data link

A data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture
has 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.

You can connect a maximum of 32 fixtures in a daisy chain on a DMX link.
The number of daisy-chained fixtures is also limited by the number of
DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512
channels available in one DMX universe.

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 when
you reach the limit, add a DMX universe and another daisy-chained link.

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

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. The pinout on
all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and 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 DMX512­A standard. Standard pinout is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2
hot (+).

To split the link into branches, use a splitter-amplifier such as the Martin
DMX 5.3 Splitter.

Terminate the link by installing a DMX termination plug in the output
socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR plug
with a 120 Ohm, 0.25 W 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 DMX data link

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the first fixture’s
male XLR 3-pin or 5-pin DMX input connector.

2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX 3-pin or 5-pin output to the DMX input
of the next fixture.

3. Similarly continue connecting fixtures output to input.

4. Terminate the link with a DMX termination plug inserted into the 3-pin
or 5-pin DMX output of the last fixture on the link.

DMX address

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel
used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. You control the fixture
by sending signals from a DMX controller over this channel and the next
four channels above it – five channels in total.

If you give the first fixture DMX address 1, it will use channels 1 to 5. DMX
address 6 is available for the next fixture, address 11 for the next fixture
and so on. If you want independent control, you must give each fixture its
own DMX address. If you want grouped control and identical fixture
behavior, give fixtures the same DMX address.

16

RUSH FiberSource 1™ User Manual

You set the address using the DIP-switch. Settings for the first 10 fixtures
are shown below. To set the fixture’s DMX address:

1. Select a DMX address for the fixture between 1 and 508.

2. Look up the DIP-switch setting for the address in the tables below.

Effects

This section describes the effects that you can control via DMX. See ‘DMX
protocol’ on page 29 for a full list of DMX channels, DMX values and
control options.

Fixture reset

The effect wheels can be reset to their home positions individually or
together on channel 1. To prevent accidental resets, the command must
be sent for 5 seconds.

Electronic dimming

Overall intensity can be adjusted 0-100% on channel 2 using electronic
dimming.

Color

The color wheel is controlled on channel 3. You can program split-color
effects with continuous scroll, snap to full color positions using stepped
scroll, and rotate the wheel continuously. The speed at which colors fade
from one position to another can be controlled on channel 5, the speed
channel.

Twinkle

The speed and direction of the twinkle effect is controlled on channel 4.
The wheel has a removable section that provides full output when the
wheel is stopped at the open position. See also ‘Removing or installing
the twinkle wheel section’ on page 26.

Fade speed

Channel 5 controls the speed of the color wheel, allowing you to achieve
variable fades on controllers without cross-fading. If your controller has
cross-fading, set the level on channel 5 to 0 (tracking, speed function off)
for best results.

Note: “Shortcut” in the DMX protocol refers to turning the color wheel past
the open position to reach the next color position. With shortcut disabled,
the color wheel avoids turning through the open position.

Performance may be improved by using a female termination plug in the
data input of the first fixture on the link as well as a male termination plug
in the data output of the last fixture.

To link mains power to the fixtures, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a
chain’ on page 14.

Maintenance

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before
servicing the fixture.

Refer any service operation not described in this user
manual to a qualified service technician.

Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the
fixture.

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

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.

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.

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 RUSH by
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.

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 with low-pressure compressed air.

3. Clean the 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.

4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.

Replacing the primary fuse

If the fixture is completely dead, the fixture’s primary fuse F1 may have
blown and it may be necessary to install a new fuse. This fuse is located
in a fuse holder next to the MAINS IN socket on the rear panel.

If you need to replace a fuse:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10
minutes.

2. Unscrew the cap of the fuseholder and remove the fuse. Replace with
a new fuse as listed on the serial number label.

3. Reinstall the fuseholder cap before reapplying power.

Installing or changing color filters

The RUSH FiberSource 1™ accepts up to 9 color filters. Blue, green,
yellow, and red filters are included with the fixture. Additional color filters
are available from your RUSH by Martin™
‘Accessories’ on page 32.

Use a soft cloth or cotton gloves when handling filters. To install or
change color filters:
