Safety precautions

PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK

• Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or any part, and when not in use.

• Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.

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

• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture.

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

PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LAMP EXPLOSION

• Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.

• When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses.

• Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.

• Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum service life.

PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE

• Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones of the specified type and rating.

• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.1 meter (4 inches) awa y from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.

• Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.3 meters (12 inches) of the fixture.

• Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters (4 inches) around fans and air vents.

• Never place filters or other materials over the lens.

• The exterior of the fixture can get very hot. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before handling.

• Do not modify the fixture or install other than genuine Martin parts.

• Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (T

) exceeds 40° C (104° F).

PROTECTION FROM INJURY DUE TO FALLS

• When suspending the fixture, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.

• Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable.

Unpacking

The CX-10 comes with:

• MSD 250/2 lamp

• 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable

•user manual The packing material is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it or a custom

flight case to transport the fixture.

AC power

Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power

supply shall have overload and ground-fault protection.

Important! Verify that power supply settings match the local AC supply before use.

The CX-10 is factory configured for 230 V / 50 Hz operation. If your AC power supply is different, the fixture must be configured for the local voltage and frequency. Always use the voltage settings that are equal to or next highest to your AC supply.

CONFIGURING FOR LOCAL AC POWER

1 Disconnect the fixture from power.

2 Remove the 4 cover screws and lift off the front cover. 3 Locate the selection switches and the settings label, which is by the color wheel. Move the voltage switch to

the setting that is equal to or higher than the local AC voltage. If your voltage falls between 2 settings, always select the higher voltage. For example, if the AC voltage is 215 V, use the 230 V setting instead of 210 V.

4 Move the frequency switch to the setting that matches the local AC frequency: 50 or 60 Hz. 5 Replace the cover.

INSTALLING A PLUG ON THE POWER CABLE

The power cable must be fitted with a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution system. Consult an electrician if you have any doubts about proper installation.

• Following the cord cap manufacturer’ s instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes.

APPLYING POWER

Warning! The power cables must be undamaged and

rated for the electrical requirements of all connected devices.

Important! Powering through a dimmer system can

damage the fixture.

1 Verify that the supply cable is undamaged and rated

for the current requirements of all connected devices.

2 Plug the prepared power cable into the AC socket and

a grounded AC power supply.

Installation

LOCATION AND ORIENTATION

The CX-10 may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface.

For safe operation, install the CX-10 in a location where

• the fixture is at least 0.1 meters (4 inches) away from combustible materials

• the fixture is protected from rain and moisture

• there is at least 0.1 meters (4 inches) clearance around the fan and control panel

• there are no flammable materials nearby

RIGGING OR MOUNTING THE CX-10

Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Warning! Always use a secure means of secondary attachment.

1 If using a rigging clamp (not included), verify that it is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the fixture’s

weight. Bolt the clamp securely to the bracket with a grade 8.8 (minimum) M12 bolt and lock nut, or as recommended by the clamp manufacturer, through the 13 mm hole in the center of the mounting bracket.

2 If fastening the fixture directly, verify that the hardware (not included) and mounting surface can bear at least

10 times the fixture’s weight. The four 6.2 mm holes and/or the 13 mm hole in the mounting bracket may be used to fasten the fixtures.

3 Verify that the structure can suppor t at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables,

auxiliary equipment, etc.

4 Working from a stable platform, clamp or fasten the fixture to the structure.

5 Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture through/over the suppor t and

anywhere through the fixture’s aluminum frame.

6 Loosen the swivel locks and tilt the fixture to the desired angle. Turn the swivel locks clockwise to tighten.

When a handle reaches its limit, pull it out, turn counterclockwise, release, and continue tightening.

7 Verify that the fixture meets the location requirements listed previously.

Connecting the serial data link

The CX-10 has locking 3-pin data input and outpu t sockets that are wired for use with DMX devices

with pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-) and pin 3 to hot (+). As some devices have 5-pin connectors, or 3-pin connectors with reversed polarity on pins 2 and 3, the following adaptor cables may be required.

1 Connect the controller’s output to the fixture’s data

input. For a DMX controller with 5-pin output, use a cable with a 5-pin male and a 3-pin female XLR connector.

2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the

controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting a fixture with pin 3 hot to a fixture with pin 3 cold, use a phase-reversing adaptor.

3 To terminate the link, insert a male 120 Ω XLR

termination plug in the output of the last fixture.

TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK

• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link exceeds 500 meters.

• Never use a “Y” connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.

• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.

• Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture on the link. The termination plug, which is simply a male XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect back down the link and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.

Tailoring performance

MOVEMENT

SCUT

, the shortcuts setting, deter mines whether the color and gobo wheels scroll past open when

changing positions. When set to

ON, the wheels can “take a shortcut” and scroll through open wh en th is is

the shortest path to the next position. The wheels do not scroll past open when

SCUT is set to OFF.

DISPLAY

The display menu (PERS>dISP) determines whether the display remains lit or not. Select ON to have the display remain lit, or OFF to extinguish the display two minutes after the last key press.

To flip the display for easier reading, press [up] and [down] simultaneously. The display intensity setting (

PERS>dINT) controls display brightness. You can select AUTO fo r

automatic dimming of the display using the built-in light sensor, or manually select an intensity level from 10 to 100.

LAMP POWER

There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (PERS>ALON) and DMX Lamp-Off (

PERS>DLoF).

There are three options for automatic lamp control: ON, OFF, and DMX. When ALON is OFF, the lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is received from the controller. When

ALON is ON, the lamp strikes

automatically after the fixture is powered on. When

ALON is set to DMX, the lamp strikes automatically

when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes automatically 15 minutes after DMX data is lost. When ALON is either ON or DMX, lamp strike timing is determined by the fixture address to prevent all lamps from striking at once.

The DMX Lamp-Off setting effects how the lamp can be turned off. When

dLOF is ON, lamp power can be

switched off by sending a DMX value from 248 to 255 on channel 1 for five seconds. When

dLOF is OFF,

the lamp-off command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.

RESET

The fixture can be reset from the controller if DMX reset (PERS>dRES) is ON. If DMX reset is OFF, this command will not work unless special conditions are met. Refer to the DMX protocol.

DEFAULT SETTINGS

The fixture can be reset to its factory default settings by selecting dFSE>FACT>LOAd.

Information readouts

Test and service utilities

DMX READOUT

The DMX log (dMXL) menu provides useful information 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.

QUAL 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.

STCO displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular

performance. The remaining options under

dMXL display the DMX values received on each of the channels, from SHUT

(shutter, channel 1) to EFSP (effect speed, channel 10). If the fixture does not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

MANUAL CONTROL

The manual control menu (MAN) provides commands for turning the lamp on (LON), turning the lamp off (

LoFF), and resetting the fixture (RST). It also permits you to position and move individual effects.

EFFECTS TEST

The test sequence (TSEQ>RUN) runs through all effects to provide a quick check of fixture performance. Note: the test sequence does not automatically strike the lamp. Use

MAN>LON and MAN>LoFF to

control lamp power. Press [menu] to stop the test.

ADJUSTMENT POSITIONS

The adjustment menu (UTIL>AdJ) provides commands for positioning effects during mechanical adjustment.

EFFECT CALIBRATION

With the calibration menu (UTIL>CAL), effect positions can be fine-tuned with a software-defined offset value to compensate for small misalignments or differences between fixtures.

The default offset comma nd (

UTIL>dFOF) erases any offsets stored in memory.

CIRCUIT BOARD TEST

UTIL>PCBT

executes a routine designed for testing the main circuit board. For service use only.

Page 12

DMX-512

CONTROL

This section briefly describes the DMX-controllable effects. See also the DMX table starting on page 32 and the DMX chart on the back cover.

Lamp power

LAMP-ON

Unless automatic lamp strike is enabled, lamp power remains off until a lamp-on command is sent from the controller.

Note: A peak of electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn for an instant when striking a discharge lamp. Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps from striking or draw enough current to trip circuit breakers. If sending lamp-on commands to multiple fixtures, program a sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.

LAMP-OFF

The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending the lamp-off command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. The lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off. Note that the lamp-off command may be disabled by the DMX Lamp-Off personality setting.

Effect position

RESET

If an effect loses its indexing and fails to move to programmed positions, the fixture can be reset from the controller by sending the “Reset” command on channel 1 for 5 seconds. Note that the DMX reset feature may be disabled by the DMX Reset personality setting.

DIMMER / SHUTTER

The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, “instant” open and blackout, random and variable strobe effects, and random and variable pulses in which the dimmer snaps open and slowly dims or snaps closed and slowly opens. Shutter, strobe, and pulse effects are selected on channel 1. The intensity level is selected on channel 2.

COLOR

The 13 color wheel positions can be selected on channel 3. The color wheel can be scrolled continuously allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated randomly or continuously in both directions at different speeds (set on channel 5).

EFFECT WHEEL

The 13 positions on the effect wheel can be selected on channel 4. The effect wheel also rotates continuously in both directions at variable speed (set on channel 6).

FROST FILTER

The frost filter is selected on channel 7.

FOCUS

The beam may be focused from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity using channel 8.

Page 14

14 CX-10

Speed control

TRACKING CONTROL

Tracking control is enabled by setting the Effects speed channel (10) to 0. With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by the cross-fade time between two

positions or scenes. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the rate required to achieve the fade. The fixture “tracks” the changes and averages them with a digital filter algorithm to provide smooth movement.

VECTOR CONTROL

With vector control, movement speed is determined by the speed values on channel 10. This provides a wa y to control speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control also provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates.

When using vector control, the cross-fade time must be 0.

BLACKOUT

When “blackout while moving” is selected on channel 10, the shutter closes when the effect moves to make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.

PERSONALITY OVERRIDES

Channel 10 provides tracking values that allow you to override the shortcuts setting. See the DMX table for details.

Animation wheels

An animation wheel can replace, or be affixed to the color wheel. This requires an Animation Wheel Adaptor Kit and an animation disc (see “Accessories” on page 41).

For a list of currently available animation wheels and tips on what effects are possible, see “Animation wheels and their uses” below. To achieve many effects you will use both an animation wheel and a regular gobo (and potentially a color filter) installed on the effect wheel.

To install an animation wheel, see:

• “Affixing an animation wheel to the color wheel” on page 24, below, or

• “Replacing the color wheel with an animation wheel” on page 26

ANIMATION WHEELS AND THEIR USES

The animation wheels mentioned here can be ordered from your Martin dealer. The effects described are merely suggestions and a degree of experimentation may be required to achieve exactly the effect that you want to achieve. You may need to align the whole fixture along another plane in order to achieve animated vertical or horizontal motion.

Tangential breakup: The Tangential Breakup disc (P/N 62400215) produces a subtle rippling motion, particularly when moving parallel with the lines of the gobo. It is the most suitable for rising flames, flowing water and other effects where a single direction of movement is required.

Radial breakup: The Radial Breakup disc (P/N 62400211) is perfect for providing a strong regular movement suitable for flickering flames, water ripples, reflected water and shimmers for heat haze or mirage effects.

Spiral breakup: The Spiral Breakup disc (P/N 62400216) pattern is very similar to the Radial Breakup disc, but has some movement at right angles to the main motion, as is seen in wind blown rain, snow, or flames. It is particularly wor th experimenting with the angle of th e gobo and the orientation of the fixture to achieve all the possibilities with this pattern.

Optical configuration 23

Linear breakup: The Linear Breakup disc (P/N 62400223) provides rhythmic movement and can be used to simulate a breeze through the branches of a tree or the rhythmic undulations of sea waves.

Triangle breakup: The Triangle Breakup disc (P/N 62400225) gives a more pronounced and rapid rhythmic effect than the Linear Breakup disc, and is suitable for use as psychedelic effects or for a rough sea effect.

Cloud breakup: The Cloud Breakup disc (P/N 62400213) is designed for a softer directional movement particularly at slow or very slow speeds. It is suitable for cloud effects with cloud gobos or for a soft slow-flowing stream effect.

Elliptical breakup: The Elliptical Breakup disc (P/N 62400221) produce s a bidirectional movement similar to the Spiral Breakup, but with constantly changing direction of movement. This is specifically useful for snow or similar effects where flurries of movement would be expected.

Dot breakup: The Dot Breakup disc (P/N 62400214) gives you the opportunity to cause motion while maintaining a more focused projection of the gobo image. It is suggested for effects such as falling leaves or rising bubbles.

Flicker wheel: The Flicker Wheel (P/N 62400222) provides a different kind of effect and can be used at high speed for motion effects, such as passing trains. It can also be effectively used for just breaking up the beam of a fixture and for an organic strobe effect.

Coarse radial breakup: The Coarse Radial Breakup disc (P/N 62400224) is particularl y effective for animating light from a non-focused source whilst providing a minimal loss in intensity due to the high 'white to black' ratio of the radial pattern. It is also effective for similar uses to the Radial Breakup disc.

Coarse tangential breakup: The Coarse Tangential Breakup disc (P/N

62400226) can be used on its own in an unfocused form to give the image of flames. It can also be combined with gobos to give a drifting image to the projection.

AFFIXING AN ANIMATION WHEEL TO THE COLOR WHEEL

To affix an animation wheel to the color wheel:

1 Using the control menu (see “Control menu” on page 34), select the wheel (WHEL) personality (under the

PERS menu) and set it to EFCT. If you fail to do this an error will occur when the fixture resets. 2 Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool. 3 Remove the fixture cover. 4 Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the effect wheel module.

5 Remove the effects wheel and then the color wheel using a 2.5 mm hex wrench.

The wheels are held in place using clamps that are similar to the one illustrated

here. 6 Bearing in mind that in this configuration the animation wheel and the color wheel

will rotate constantly, remove or replace any color flags as appropriate to the

effect that you want to achieve. Note that you can move color flags to the effect

wheel if necessary. 7 Modify the color wheel with the par ts supplied in the Animation Wheel Kit as

shown in the following illustration.

8 Place the animation wheel on the color wheel. It is held in place magnetically . 9 Place the combined color/animation wheel back on the motor spindle with the animation wheel closest to

the lamp/effect motor. Ensure that the animation wheel is as close as possible to the effect-wheel-module

bulkhead without it coming in contact with anything that might hinder its free rotation. The closer the

animation wheel is to the bulkhead, the sharper you will be able to focus on it. Clamp the color wheel into

place using a 2.5 mm hex wrench. 10 Replace the effects wheel, ensuring that it will sit as close to the focus module as possible. The optimal

distance from the effects module bulkhead to the effect wheel is 15 mm (0.6 in.), but ensure that the wheel

does not come into contact with anything that might hinder its free rotation. Clamp the effects wheel into

place using a 2.5 mm hex wrench.

11 Replace the effect wheels module. 12 Replace the fixture cover before powering the fixture on. 13 If the effect wheel needs to be recalibrated, use the use the control menu to select

Adaptor Kit. Place the animation wheel on the clamp. It will be held in place

magnetically.

8 Place the animation wheel on the motor spindle with the magnetic clamp farthest

from the lamp/effect motor. Ensure that the animation wheel is as close as

ERVICE

The CX-10 requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their p eak. Excessive dust, grease, and

smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the

warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your

Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician.

Warning! Removing covers while the fixture is powered on exposes dangerous live electrical

circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure. Disconnect the fixture from AC

power and allow it to cool before removing any cover.

Lamp

Lamp life will vary; the rated life is an average figure that is based on the manufacturer’s test cycle. For

maximum lamp life, avoid excessive strikes and always allow the lamp to burn for at least 5 minutes before

turning it off.

To reduce the r isk of lamp explosion, which may damage the fixture, never exceed the lamp’s rated life

(2000 hours) by more than 25 percent.

Replace the lamp when:

• it strikes with difficulty or not at all, or is in any other way defective

• usage exceeds the manufacturer’s “replace before” hours. See Table 3.

COMPATIBLE LAMPS

A Philips MSD 250/2 lamp is included. The CX-10 lamp options are shown in the table below. Installing any

other lamp may damage the fixture.

INSTALLING A LAMP

WARNING! When replacing the lamp, disconnect the

fixture from AC power and allow the lamp to

cool for at least 15 minutes before

proceeding. Wear safety goggles to protect

your eyes.

1 Remove the 2 screws labelled “Lamp replacement”

and pull out the lamp socket. 2 If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the

socket. 3 Pre-adjust the lamp socket by turning the 3 lamp

adjustment screws to the middle of their range. There

should be 2 mm (5/64ths of an inch) between each

cap nut and the fixed disk. 4 Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not

touch the glass), align the small pin on the lamp with

the small hole in the socket and insert the la mp

squarely . Mak e sure that the 4 small projections on the

base contact the face of the socket. 5 Clean the glass bulb with the cloth supplied with the

lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A

clean, lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol may also

be used. 6 Insert the tip of the lamp into the fixture with as little

twist in the lamp wires as possible. When the base of

the lamp is inside the fixture, turn the lamp assembly

so that the arrow points towards the control panel.

Carefully locate the reflector opening, which is deep

within the lamp chamber, and fully insert the lamp. 7 Align the screw holes and fasten the lamp access

plate with 2 screws. 8 If replacing the lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp

strike counters as described on page 11. 9 Strike the lamp (after setup is complete) and adjust it

for optimum performance by turning the 3 adjustment

screws one at a time until the brightest part of the

beam is centered.

Cleaning

OPTICAL COMPONENTS

Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface on dichroic filters is achieved by means of special

multi-layer coatings and even small scratches may be visible. Residues from cleaning fluids can bake onto

components and ruin them. 1 Allow the components to cool completely. 2 Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol. A generous amount of regular glass cleaner may also

be used, but no residues may remain. 3 Rinse with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as Kodak Photoflo will

help prevent streaking and spotting. 4 Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air.

FAN

To ma intain adequate co oling it is important that the fan be

cleaned regularly. 1 Remove the fan by pulling out the locking pins on each

side. 2 Clean with a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. 3 Place the fan back in position and press in the locking pins

to secure.

Lubrication

Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or

P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other lubricant

is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove

excess and do not get oil on other parts.

Check the focus mechanism and apply a drop of lubricant to the

spindle if movement is rough.

Replacing fuses

MAIN FUSE

The main fuse holder is built in to the mains input

socket. Never replace the fuse with one of a different

rating! 1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. 2 Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse. 3 Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating.

The fuse rating is listed on serial number label. 4 Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable.

POWER SUPPLY FUSES

There are two fuses for the low-voltage power supplies located on the printed circuit board. If one or more of

the green LEDs on the PCB does not light, one of these fuses may be blown. If all three LEDs are lit, the

low-voltage power supplies are functioning correctly.

Have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician if the

problem persists. 1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2 Remove the front cover. 3 Remove the four screws that fasten the control panel

assembly. Move the display assembly out of the way to

access the PCB. 4 Carefully remove and check the two fuses located in the

top-left corner of the PCB (see page 39). Replace as

necessary with fuses of the same size and rating (see

page 40). 5 Install the control panel and the front cover.

Updating software

The latest CX-10 firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at http://www.martin.com. It can be installed using an MP-2, or via a PC serial data link using a hardware interface supported by the Software Uploader shareware (also available from the Martin web site). The following devices are currently supported (in Version 5.5):

• DABS 1 (presently available with the MUM software package)

• ShowDesigner PCI DMX Interface Card (2048 channel version)

• LightJockey PCI DMX Interface Card (512 and 2048 channel versions)

• LightJockey PCMCIA DMX Interface

• LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX Interface Card (DJ and Club versions) Note: Intermediate control systems such as the Martin Lighting Director (MLD) and the Mar tin Matrix must

be bypassed when updating fixture software via the DMX link. These systems do not relay the update code correctly because it is not a DMX-compliant signal.

NORMAL UPDATE

To upd ate fixture software, connect an upload device to the fixture just like a DMX controller and perform a DMX mode upload as described in the uploader’s documentation. There is no need to isolate the CX-10s from other types of fixtures on the serial link.

When the upload is completed (and when booting up) the CX-10 performs a check-sum test of the flash memory and then resets. If the firmware is corrupted a check-sum error (

CSER) occurs. A few seconds

later the fixture displays

UPLd and is ready for a new DMX-mode upload.

In the unlikely event that a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be powered off for at least 10 seconds to force the check-sum test. You can repeat the DMX-mode upload as soon as

UPLd is displayed.

BOOT SECTOR UPDATE

If the normal update procedure fails or the software update notes call for a boot-sector update, install new software as follows.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2 Remove the front cover. 3 Remove the four screws that fasten the display assembly. Move

the display assembly out of the way to access the PCB.

4 The boot sector jumper is located next to the plug for the control

panel data cable. Move the jumper to the Init setting. Verify that the Flash Write jumper is in the Enable position. See the diagram on page 39.

5 Perform a boot-mode upload as described in the uploader

manual.

6 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the jumper back to

the Lock setting.

7 Install the control panel and the front cover.
