NSTALLATION

LOCATION AND ORIENTATION

For safe operation, install the MiniMAC in a location where

• it is at least 0.3 meters (12 inches) away from illuminated surfaces and combustible
materials.

• it is not easily touched or bumped.

• it is protected from rain and moisture.

• there is at least 0.1 meters (4 inches) clearance around the fans and air vents.

• there are no flammable materials nearby.

The MiniMAC may be installed in any orientation as described below or placed
directly on a stage or floor.

The intense light can burn or melt parts within a distance of 0.3 meters (12 inches).
The MiniMAC is programmed to close its shutter if it illuminates its own base for
more than 10 seconds. When installing fixtures side-by-side, avoid illuminating one
fixture with another.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

The MiniMAC can be rigged using a clamp, a flush mount bracket, or a pantograph.

8

Installation

Clamp

The MiniMAC includes a bracket for attaching a rigging clamp with 12 mm (1/2
in.) hardware. Clamps available from Martin are listed on page 44.

TO RIG THE FIXTURE WITH A CLAMP

WARNING! Screw the included eye bolt securely into the base and fasten a

safety cable to the eye bolt.

1 Verify that the clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the

fixture. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed

fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.

2 Bolt a clamp to the included 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

bracket.

3 Align the bracket with the keyholes in the base. Insert both locking pins into the holes

and turn both levers a full 1/4 turn clockwise to lock. The fasteners are locked only

when turned fully clockwise.

4 Screw the eye bolt securely into the base where shown below.

5 Block access below the work area.

6 Working from a stable platform, clamp the fixture to the structure.

7 Fasten a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture to the

structure and the eye bolt.

Installation

9

Flush mount bracket

Where no trussing system is available, you can use a special flush mount bracket
that is available for the MiniMAC series. It is a simple metal bracket, which enables
the MiniMAC to be flush mounted on a standard ceiling or wall. It provides a very
discrete installation, with a very limited air gap between the product and the ceiling
or wall. The bracket is designed so that one person can easily make the installation
alone.

The flush mount bracket can be ordered separately from a Martin dealer (P/N

91606009).

Pantograph

Another option for mounting the MiniMAC is the Martin Pantograph that is
specifically designed for hanging Martin luminaries from ceilings or other load­bearing structural elements. It may be used to suspend a fixture weighing up to 22

10

Installation

kg (48 lbs), and provides a drop from the ceiling to the attachment point of 12 to 62
cm (4.75 - 24.4 in.).

The pantograph can be ordered separately from a Martin dealer (P/N 91602006).

Ceiling template

If you are mounting the MiniMAC through a ceiling then a template that can be
used to cut out the shape of the fixture is available from the MiniMAC support page
on the Martin support site (http://www.martin.dk/service/service.asp).

DMX MODE SETTING

The MiniMAC has 4 control modes for operation with DMX512 controllers. The
modes mix tracking and vector control with 8 and 16-bit pan/tilt resolution in
different combinations to minimize channel requirements. Mode 1 provides basic
control and requires the fewest channels. Modes 2 and 3 provide some additional
control options. Mode 4 provides the full set of control options.

TRACKING VERSUS VECTOR CONTROL

With tracking control (all modes) the speed at which an effect changes from one
position to another (fades) is determined by programming a fade time between 2
scenes using a cross-fader.

With vector control (modes 3 and 4), speed is programmed on separate speed
channels. This provides a way to program fades on controllers without cross-faders.
With some controllers, vector control provides smoother movement than tracking
control, particularly at slow speeds.

The speed channel must be set to “tracking speed” when using a cross-fader
(tracking control) to program fades.

The speed channels also provide a “blackout speed” that causes the shutter to close
while the effect is moving in order to make the transition invisible.

8-BIT VERSUS 16-BIT PAN/TILT RESOLUTION

8-bit pan/tilt resolution (modes 1 and 3) divides the pan and tilt ranges into 1 - 2°
increments. 16-bit resolution (modes 2 and 4) divides pan into 0.013° steps and tilt
into 0.007° steps for finer position control and smoother movement.

Mode Control Resolution MiniMAC Wash MiniMAC Profile

1 Tracking 8-bit 4 channels 6 channels

2 Tracking 16-bit 6 channels 8 channels

3 Tracking/Vector 8-bit 6 channels 8 channels

4 Tracking/Vector 16-bit 8 channels 10 channels

ADDRESS SELECTION

The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from the controller. The total number of channels used depends
on the control mode.

Be sure to allow adequate channels when setting the control address. If control
channels for one fixture overlap control channels for another fixture, then one of the
fixtures will receive the wrong commands. To find the highest usable address
channel, subtract the number of channels required from the last controller channel
and add 1.

Two MiniMACs of the same type, and operating in the same control mode, may
share the same address if they are to respond identically. They will receive the same
commands and individual control will be impossible.

To set the control address

1 Scroll to Adr in the main menu and press [enter]. The current address is displayed.

2 Scroll to the address that is assigned to the fixture on the controller. Press [enter] to

activate the address setting.

PERSONALITIES

The following settings are available to modify fixture behavior.

Pan/tilt swap: Map pan to the tilt channel and tilt to the pan channel to provide
more intuitive control of fixtures mounted sideways.

Inverse pan: Flip pan movement to right-to-left instead of left-to-right.

Inverse tilt: Flip tilt movement to down-to-up instead of up-to-down.

Pan/tilt speed: Optimize motor control for speed or smoothness.

ONTROLLER OPERATION

This section describes operation with DMX controllers. The MiniMAC is also
compatible with the Martin MC-1 and MC-X controllers.

Controller operation is disabled when a stand-alone mode is enabled.

DATA CONNECTION

RECOMMENDED CABLE

Reliable data communication begins with the right cable. Most microphone cable
does not transmit digital data reliably over long runs. For best results, use shielded,
twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 applications with low capacitance and a
characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm (24
AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) and 0.322 mm (26 AWG) for runs up
500 meters (1640 ft.).

5

Your Martin dealer can supply the right cable in various lengths.

CONNECTIONS

The XLR data sockets are wired pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal - (cold), and pin 3
to signal + (hot). This is the standard pin assignment for DMX devices.

One or more adaptor cables may be required to connect the MiniMAC to the
controller and other lights if they have 5-pin connectors or reversed signal polarity
on pins 2 and 3.

To connect for controller operation

1 Connect a data cable to the controller’s data output. If controller has a 5-pin output,

use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005). Lead the cable from

the controller to the first fixture and plug it into the data input.

2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller

to the input of the next fixture. If connecting to a fixture

with reversed-polarity (pin 3 cold), insert a phase-

reversing cable between the two fixtures.

3 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32

devices may be connected on a serial link.

4 Terminate the link by inserting a male termination plug

(P/N 91613017) into the data output of the last fixture. A

termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120

CONTROLLABLE EFFECTS

LAMP POWER

Lamp power can be switched on and off from the controller. When set-up for
controller operation, and with the automatic lamp-on personality set to off, the
lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is sent.

Note: A peak of electric current many times the operating current is drawn briefly
when striking a lamp. Striking many discharge lamps at once may cause a voltage
drop that prevents lamps from striking or trips circuit breakers. When striking
multiple fixtures, space lamp-on commands at 5 second intervals.

The lamp must be allowed to cool for several minutes after turning it off before it
can be turned back on. To prevent accidental lamp-off commands, this command
can be partially disabled from the control panel: see page 16. If a hot lamp does not
strike, send the lamp off command and wait several minutes before trying again.

RESET

All effects can be reset to their index positions from the controller. To prevent
accidental resets, the command can be partially disabled from the control panel: see
page 16.

SHUTTER

The mechanical shutter opens, closes, and strobes at variable and random rates up to

11.4 Hz. It also provides an optional low-resolution dimmer function that can be
enabled by toggling the intensity personality setting (

PEr / Int) to ON.

Controller operation

21

The shutter closes automatically after 10 seconds if the light beam is projected on
the base to prevent heat damage. The shutter opens instantly when the beam is
moved.

STAND-ALONE MODE

Automatic stand-alone operation may be activated from the controller.

COLOR

The color wheel provides continuous-scroll for split-color effects and stepped-scroll
for full-color positions. The wheel rotates continuously at variable speed and
provides a random color function.

GOBOS

The MiniMAC Profile provides 7 interchangeable gobos that shake, swing, and
rotate at variable speed. The wheel also provides a random gobo function.

PAN AND TILT

The head pans 540° and tilts 270°. If knocked or jarred out of position, the pan
position automatically resets if the arm reaches the right limit and the tilt position
automatically resets if the arm reaches the bottom limit. In some cases, the limit can
be reached by setting the pan or tilt value to 255. Otherwise, the fixture can be reset
as described above.

22

Controller operation

A

UTOMATIC

The MiniMAC provides two stand-alone modes: automatic and programmed. This
section describes Automatic Stand-alone Mode, in which random action is sound
activated, using a built-in microphone, or triggered by a timer. The pan/tilt range

8 Reset the lamp hour and lamp strike counters as described on page 18.

To align the lamp

The lamp is pre-aligned at the factory. Realignment when changing the lamp may
improve performance.

1 Strike the lamp and shine the light on a flat surface.

2 Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) with small turns of the adjustment

screws (B) using a Pozidriv #2 screwdriver. If there is no hot-spot, adjust the reflector

until the light is even.

3 To reduce a hot-spot, turn all 3 screws clockwise (B) 1/4-turn at a time until the light is

evenly distributed.

4 If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low,

the lamp is too far back in the reflector. Turn the adjustment screws (B)

counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly distributed.

5 If you have trouble aligning the lamp, remove the lamp and check that it is seated

squarely in the socket.

ASIC SERVICE

The MiniMAC requires simple routine maintenance. The schedule depends heavily
on the operating environment; please consult a Martin service technician for
recommendations.

Refer all service not described here to a qualified Martin technician.

Important! Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades

performance and causes overheating and damage to the fixture
that is not covered by the warranty.

Warning! Disconnect the fixture from power before removing any cover.

11

To open the head

1 Turn off the lamp and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes. Disconnect the fixture from

power.

2 Unlock the head cover fasteners by turning them a quarter-turn counterclockwise.

3 Open the lamp access cover by pulling from the ribbed end.

4 Pull off the top head cover.

5 When replacing the cover, turn the fasteners a half to a quarter turn clockwise until

they click. Do not overtighten.

CLEANING

To clean optical components

Use care when cleaning optical components. The surface of the color filters is
fragile and small scratches may be visible.

1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow the components to cool completely.

Remove the head cover.

2 Blow or vacuum away loose dust. Remove residues from lenses and filters with a soft

cloth or cotton swabs wetted with isopropyl alcohol. Regular glass cleaner may also

be used, but no residues may remain.

Basic service

35

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.

To clean the fan and air vents

To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the fan and air vents
periodically.

• Remove dust and dirt from the fans and vent grills using a soft brush, cotton swab,

vacuum, or compressed air.
