Introduction

The RUSH® MH 11 Beam is a powerful profile fixture with a Philips MSD Platinum 11R 250W short-arc discharge lamp that produces a high intensity beam. The fixture provides 540° of pan movement, 260° of tilt movement, motorized focus lens, smooth full-range dimming, strobing shutter and pulse effects, 8 user-replaceable rotating gobos, 13 color filters, a rotating prism, and a frost filter. The short-arc source and rugged, lightweight construction make it ideal for live shows, TV events, stage, concerts, and nightclubs.

The RUSH® MH 11 Beam can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller and may be remotely configured by RDM. It is supplied with this user manual, a 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) power cable ready for a local power plug (not included), and two mounting brackets for attachment of suitable, usersupplied rigging clamps.

Before using the product for the first time

1. Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.

2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Do not attempt to operate a damaged fixture.

3. If the fixture is not going to be hard-wired to a mains supply, install a local power plug (not supplied) on the end of the supplied power cable.

4. Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power requirements of the fixture.

5. Check the support pages on the Martin Professional website at www.martin.com for the most recent user documentation and technical information about the fixture. Martin® user manual revisions are identified by the revision letter at the bottom of the inside cover.

Note that whenever AC power is applied to the fixture, it will reset all effects and functions to their home positions. Be prepared for the fixture head to move. A reset usually takes around 20 seconds.

Maximizing lamp life

To obtain maximum output over the lifetime of the fixture’s lamp:

• Each time you power the lamp on, allow it to warm up for at least 5 minutes before you power it off.

• Before shutting down power completely, power the lamp off but leave power applied to the fixture for a few minutes so that cooling fans can prevent any momentary lamp temperature increase caused by heat from surrounding components.

Physical installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the fixture.

The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked.

Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed in this user manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Do not use the fixture to illuminate surfaces within 10 m (33 ft.) of the fixture.

Martin® can supply safety cables and rigging clamps that are suitable for use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 44).

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment they will support.

Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation, you must use a closed-type rigging clamp such as halfcoupler clamp (see illustration on right) that completely encircles the truss chord.

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.

AC power

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power.

Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 9 A and can safely supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT 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’ below.

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 fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.

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.

The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the 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 8 A at a suitable voltage for your local power system. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable as shown in this table:

Control data link

A DMX 512 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.

Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total number of fixtures in one 512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures. 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 or groups of fixtures when the above limits are reached, add a DMX universe and/or split the daisy-chained link into branches using a powered DMX splitter.

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.

• pin 1 = shield

• pin 2 = cold (-)

• 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 DMX512-A standard. Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).

RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 17

Page 18

To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated splitter such as the Martin® DMX 5.3 Splitter. Terminate the link by installing a 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 watt 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 data link

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male XLR DMX input connector.

2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input.

3. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.

Setting options by RDM

You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using RDM. Martin® offers a range of suitable RDM-compatible controllers.

Martin® M-PC is a Windows-based application available from Martin® that lets you set up, manage and control a lighting installation from a PC that is connected to the installation via a DMX data link. To use Martin® M-PC, connect a PC running the application to the data link via a USB-to-DMX interface box such as the Martin® M-DMX.

A full list of the RDM functions that the MH 11 fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’ or ‘Parameter IDs’.

Scanning for RDM devices on the data link

Before you can communicate with fixtures using RDM, you must send a scan command (also called a device discovery command) to all the devices on the data link so that the RDM controller can identify them. It does this by retrieving each device’s factory-set unique identifier (UID). This process can take some time depending on the number of devices on the link.

To identify the fixtures on the link:

1. Check that the fixtures are correctly connected to the RDM controller on the data link and that power is applied to all fixtures.

2. In Martin® M-PC, go to RDM CONTROLLER  DISCOVER DEVICES.

24 RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual

Page 25

3. Give the controller time to identify the devices on the link and prepare for communication with the devices.

Getting status and setting options by RDM

The status and options listed in the table below can be read and set by RDM.

You can set an option on one fixture by sending a unicast RDM command to that one fixture only, or you can set the same option on all the fixtures on the data link by sending a broadcast RDM command to all the devices on the link.

For status reading, you can only use unicast RDM to read information from an individual fixture.

Effects

This section describes the effects provided by the RUSH® MH 11 Beam. See ‘DMX protocol’ on page 35 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects.

imming

Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control.

Strobe effects

A mechanical shutter provides instant open and blackout, random and variable speed flash from 1 to 12 flashes per second, and pulse effects.

Pan and tilt

The fixture’s head can be panned through 540° and tilted through 260° with 16-bit coarse and fine control. Using the control menus it is possible to invert pan or tilt movement. A position feedback circuit provides automatic position correction if the fixture is knocked out of position.

Light output can be set to black out when the head moves using either the Auto-blackout = ON command on DMX channel 18, or the BI.O.P/T Move personality setting in the control menu.

Colors

The color wheel provides the 13 colors listed below plus an open position. Colors can be selected in full position steps or continuously scrolled to give split colors. The wheel can be rotated at varying speeds, both clockwise and counter-clockwise, or display random colors at slow, medium and fast speeds.

Slot 1: red Slot 2: blue Slot 3: green Slot 4: Rose Slot 5: yellow

Slot 6: cyan Slot 7: pink Slot 8: orange Slot 9: aqua Slot 10: purple

Slot 11: CTO Slot 12: CTB Slot 13: UV

Gobos

The fixture contains one gobo wheel with gobo positions as shown below:

Gobo wheel (rotating gobos)

Individual gobos can be set to indexed positions, and rotated clockwise and counter-clockwise. Gobo shake is also available.

When BI.O. Other Move is ON, the fixture blacks out during color and gobo changes.

Prism

The fixture incorporates an eight-facet circular prism which can be inserted into the beam for split effects. The prism can be set to an indexed position or rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Focus

A motorized focus lens provides 16-bit coarse and fine adjustment of gobo image sharpness.

Frost

A frost filter can be inserted into the beam for a soft, diffuse wash effect.

Maintenance

Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before servicing the fixture.

Disconnect the fixture from mains power before cleaning or servicing.

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

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.

The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. 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 (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the

natural environment at outdoor events, for example).

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 Martin dealer about a suitable maintenance schedule.

RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 29

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 at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.

3. Clean 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 gobos

The rotating gobos can be replaced with custom gobos that match the quality and specifications of the gobos supplied with the fixture (see ‘Interchangeable Gobos’ on page 43).

Optical components have fragile coatings and are exposed to very high temperatures. Handle and store components with care. Wear cotton gloves while handling them. Keep them perfectly clean and free of oil and grease to reduce the risk of heat damage.

To replace a rotating gobo:

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

3. The rotating gobos sit in goboholders that slot into clips in the rotating gobo wheel. Find the gobo you want to replace. See below. Pull its goboholder away from the gobo wheel slightly, then lift the goboholder out of its clip in the wheel.

4. The gobo is held by a retaining spring. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver or tweezers to lever the end of the spring out of its slot, then lift out the spring.

5. Remove spring, retaining ring and gobo.

RUSH® MH 11 Beam User Manual 31

Page 32

6. Insert the new gobo in the holder. Insert the retaining ring, making sure the tab fits in the goboholder slot.

7. Replace the retaining spring with the narrow end in, against the ring. Make sure the outside end of the spring is held firmly in place in its slot in the goboholder.

8. Slide the tab on the goboholder under the clip on the gobowheel and make sure that the teeth on the goboholder engage the gobo wheel correctly.

9. Replace the head cover and be ready for the head to move when you reapply power.

Lamp replacement

Warning! Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling lamps.

Allow the fixture to cool for at least 2 hours before handling a lamp.

To avoid the risk of a discharge lamp exploding in the fixture, replace the lamp when it reaches its specified lifetime (see Lamp on page 42).

Install only lamps that are approved by Martin® for this fixture (see Lamp on page 42).

If a lamp breaks, ventilate the room for 30 minutes, put on nitrile gloves and remove the pieces . Put the pieces in a sealed plastic bag and take them to your local waste facilities for specialist recycling. Do not use a vacuum cleaner to clean up pieces of a broken lamp.

The lamp must be perfectly clean and totally free of oil and grease. Never touch the lamp with bare hands. If you contaminate the lamp, clean it with an alcohol wipe and then dry it with a lint-free cloth.

To replace the lamp:

Page 34

6. With the connection pins pointing to the left, away from the retaining spring, seat the new lamp in the fixture. Secure the lamp with the retaining spring.

7. Reinstall the lamp cover before applying power.

8. Reset the lamp hours counter as described on page 23.

Lamp temperature control

The lamp temperature is monitored to check for high temperatures caused by fan failure or blockage. If the lamp sensor reaches the LAMP OFF TEMPERATURE, which is fixed at 130° C (266° F), for more than 5 minutes then the lamp shuts down automatically. The lamp will restrike automatically when the temperature cools to the MAX ON AT TEMPERATURE, which is fixed at 45° C (113° F).

Replacing the primary fuse

If the fixture is completely dead, the fixture’s primary fuse may have blown and it may be necessary to install a new fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same size and specified rating only.

If you need to replace the fuse:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool.

2. Unscrew the cap of the fuse holder (shown on page 16) and remove the fuse.

3. Replace with a fuse of the same size and rating only.

4. Screw the fuse holder cap back on before reapplying power.

Updating firmware
