Introduction

The RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ is a bright single-lens LED PAR Can. It offers white color temperature mixing using twelve 10 W CWUW (warm white and ultra white) LEDs and a 10° to 60° motorized zoom. This fixture also offers electronic dimming and strobe and features a bracket for floor or truss mounting.

The PAR 2 CT Zoom™ can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller.

The fixture is supplied with a 1.5 m (5 ft.) power cable (local power plug not included) and a folding mounting bracket.

Before using the product for the first time

1. Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing, operating or servicing the fixture.

2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. Never attempt to operate a damaged fixture.

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

4. Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the local power source match the mains power requirements of the fixture.

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

When the fixture is powered on for the first time, it may smoke slightly as it warms up, but this will only last a few minutes and is no cause for concern.

10 RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual

Physical installation

Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 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.

Martin™ can supply safety cables and rigging clamps that are suitable for use with the fixture (see ‘Accessories’ on page 28).

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Fasten the fixture securely. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, install a safety cable as directed in ‘Securing with a safety cable’ on page 11.

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 half-coupler 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.

2. Block access under the work area.

3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket together and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The bolt used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket legs and be fastened with a self-locking nut.

RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual 11

4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the clamp securely.

5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.

Securing with a safety cable

Secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails.

Loop the cable through one of the safety cable attachment points on the fixture (see arrows in illustration on right) and around a secure anchoring point.

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 12.

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 (earthfault) 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.

12 RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual

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:

Earth, Ground or

See ‘Safety information’ on page 4. The light-grey Neutrik PowerCon socket can be used to supply power to other fixtures only if the supplied power input cable is replaced as directed in this manual and safety limits are respected.

Control data link

A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.

The number of fixtures that you can connect in a daisy chain is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512 channels available in one DMX universe. No matter how many channels are available, we recommend connecting a maximum of 32 fixtures in one daisy chain.

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 limit is reached, add a DMX universe and another daisychained link.

RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual 15

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

To split the link into branches, use a splitter such as the Martin DMX 5.3 Splitter or RDM 5.5 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 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. Terminate the last fixture on the link with a DMX termination plug.

Fixture setup

This section explains the fixture characteristics that can be set to determine how it can be controlled and will behave. These settings are made using the menus available in the control panel. Settings are retained in memory when the fixture is powered off.

A complete map of the control menu structure and brief explanations of their purposes can be found in ‘Control menus’ on page 24.

Using the control menus

• To access the control menus or to return to the previous level in the menu structure, press the MENU button.

• Navigate the menu structure using the DOWN, UP and ENTER buttons.

• If you have selected a menu option, confirm your selection and set that

level in the menu structure without making a change, press the MENU button.

• To exit the menus, press and hold the MENU button.

DMX addressing

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 channels immediately above it – seven channels in total. If you give the first fixture DMX address 1, it will use channels 1 to 7. DMX address 8 is available for the next fixture, address 15 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.

To set the fixture’s DMX address:

1. In the fixture’s control panel, use the UP and DOWN buttons to select DMX ADDRESS and press ENTER. The fixture’s currently set DMX address will blink in the display.

2. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a new address.

3. Once the new address has been selected, press ENTER to confirm it (or press MENU to exit without making a change).

Dimming curves

Four dimming curves are available:

• MODE 1: LINEAR – The increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased.

• MODE 2: SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.

• MODE 3: INVERSE SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.

• MODE 4: S-CURVE – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.

MODE 1 MODE 2 MODE 3 MODE 4

RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual 21

Maintenance

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 the fixture from mains power and allow to cool completely before cleaning or servicing.

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

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

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 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 15 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.

22 RUSH PAR 2 CT Zoom™ User Manual

3. Clean lenses by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or lowpressure 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.

Fuse replacement

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 fuseholder next to the Mains OUT socket on the connections panel (see 5 in ‘Fixture overview’ on page 13).

To change the fuse:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.

2. Use a large flat-bladed screwdriver to unscrew the cap of the fuseholder.

3. Replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating only.

4. Reinstall the fuseholder cap before reapplying power.

Service and repairs

There are no user-serviceable parts inside the fixture. Do not open the housing.

Refer any service or repair operation not described in this manual to an authorized RUSH by Martin™ service technician. Do not try to carry out such an operation yourself, as doing so may present a health or safety risk. It may also cause damage or malfunction, and it may void your 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 your RUSH by Martin supplier for details.
