Remove the 2 Phillips screws from the lamp socket assembly. Pull the lamp and socket out of the head. Remove the old lamp, if any, from the socket. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not touch the glass), align the small pin with the small hole and insert the lamp squarely into the socket. Make sure that the 4 small projections on the base contact the face of the socket. Clean the glass bulb with the cloth supplied with the lamp, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol may also be used. Gently insert the assembly, making sure the lamp fits through the opening in the reflector. Replace the 2 screws. Please see "Optimizing reflector alignment" on page 19 to optimize light output. 4. 5. 6. Lamp Installation 5 section 3 A C PO W E R C O N N E C T I O N This section describes how to tap the power supply for local conditions and how to wire the mains lead. Do not connect the MAC 300 to an electrical dimmer system: doing so can damage the electronics. WA R N I N G ! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC supply shall have overload and ground-fault protection. C h a n g i n g vo l t ag e a n d f r e q u e n cy s e t t i n g s The factory settings are printed on the serial number label under the base. These settings must match the local AC power supply as closely as possible! Operating at the incorrect power setting can result in poor light output, greatly reduced lamp life, overheating and/or damage to the fixture. 1. 2. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Unscrew and remove the cover from top of the base on the side closest to the power inlet. Locate the 7-terminal connection block. Move the wires to the terminals that most closely match local conditions as shown in Table 1. If the local voltage falls halfway between settings, use the higher voltage setting. For example, use the 120 V setting if your voltage is 110 V. Replace the cover. 100 V 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE BROWN 3. 120 V 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE BROWN 210 V 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE 230 V 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE 250 V 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE 50 Hz BROWN BROWN BROWN BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK BLUE BROWN 60 Hz BLACK 0V 20 V 120 V 230 V 250 V 60 Hz 50 Hz BLUE BLUE BLUE BLUE BROWN BROWN BLACK BROWN BLACK BROWN BLACK BLACK Table 1: Voltage and frequency settings Wiring the mains lead Wire brown blue yellow/green Pin live neutral ground Marking "L" "N" Screw (US) yellow or brass silver green Table 2: Cord cap wiring 1.

Verify that the feed cable is undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices. 2. 6 AC Power Connection section 4 DATA CONNECTION This section describes how to connect fixtures to a controller. The MAC 300's 3-pin XLR connectors are configured for use with DMX-512 controllers. To reconfigure them for use with Martin Protocol controllers, see "Changing the XLR pin-out" on page 19. XLR PIN-OUT Pin 1: shield Pin 2: signal - Pin 3: signal + Recommended cable Use cable designed for RS-485 devices with low capacitance and a characteristic impedance of 85 to 150 ohms. The cable must be electrically shielded and have at least 1 pair of twisted wires. The minimum wire size is 0.2 mm2 (24 AWG) for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.), and 0.322 mm2 (26 AWG) for runs up 500 meters (1640 ft.). Adaptors As many devices have 5-pin connectors and others have 3-pin connectors with reversed signal polarity, adaptor cables as shown below may be required. Insert a termination plug in the output of the last fixture on the link. 5-pin to 3-pin Adaptor Male 1 2 3 4 5 Female 1 2 3 3-pin to 5-pin Adaptor Male 1 2 3 Female 1 2 3 4 5 3-pin to 3-pin Phase-Reversing Adaptor Male 1 2 3 Female 1 2 3 Termination Plug Male 1 2 3 120 P/N 11820005 Construct P/N 11820006 P/N 91613017 Figure 2: Cable adaptors and termination Building the data link 1. DMX controllers: Connect a data cable to the controller's data output. If controller has a 5-pin female socket, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005). Martin RS-485 protocol controllers: First, connect a 3-pin "swapper" cable (P/N 11820006) to the controller's data output; then, connect a regular data cable to the swapper cable. Alternatively, reconfigure the XLR pin-out as described on page 19. 2. 3. 4. If convenient, you may split the link into branches using a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. Do not use a "Y" connector to split the link. Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture. Plug the cable into the fixture's data input socket. Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting to another type of fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3 cold), insert a swapper cable between the two fixtures. Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link. If more fixtures are required, use another controller output, if available, or an RS-485 amplifier. 5. 6. 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 ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3. If a splitter is used, each branch of the link must be terminated. Data Connection 7 section 5 RIGGING This section briefly describes how to install the MAC 300 on a truss. Location and orientation The MAC 300 may be installed in any orientation. It shall be located at least 0.4 meters (16 inches) away from the surface to be illuminated and any combustible materials. The lamp socket at the back of the head reaches temperatures up to 150° C (302° F): the fixture should not be located in publicly trafficked areas. Rigging hardware The MAC 300 includes a clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted with locking 12 mm (1/2 in.) hardware. The clamp bracket fastens to the base with 1/4-turn fasteners. For clamps available from Martin, see the list of accessories on page 26. Figure 3: Clamp mounting bracket To h a n g t h e f i x t u r e o n a t r u s s WA R N I N G ! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Always fasten a safety cable to the reinforced attachment point in the base. The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. 1. Verify that the clamps are in good condition and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Bolt clamps 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 holes in the clamp mounting bracket. Align the clamp mounting bracket with any 2 key slots on the base. Insert both locking pins into the slots and turn both levers a full 1/4 turn clockwise to lock. Verify that the structure can bear at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc. Working from a stable platform, clamp the fixture to the structure. Install a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture securely to the structure and anchor the cable to the dedicated attachment point in the base. The attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp. 2. 3. 4. 5. 8 Rigging section 6 FIXTURE SETTINGS This section describes how to set the address and personalities, read lamp hours, DMX values, and other information; calibrate effects, control the fixture manually, and run test and demo programs from the 4-digit LED control panel.

Fixture Settings 11 Address selection The address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. The address set on the fixture must match the address set on the controller. When selecting DMX addresses, be sure to allow the number of channels required for the protocol. If any of the control channels for one fixture overlap any of the channels for another fixture, then one of the fixtures will receive the wrong instructions and respond incorrectly. Two MAC 300s may share the same address, however, if they are to respond identically: they will receive the same instructions so individual control will be impossible. Note: Whether the MAC 300 displays a DMX or Martin address at the top of the menu depends on the protocol selected.

Selecting personalities from the control panel is described in the previous section. Mar tin RS-485 con trol The MAC 300 will be controllable with the Martin 3032 controller when version 2.07 of the 3032 software is released. To respond to the controller, either Martin mode must be selected or automatic protocol detection must be enabled. DMX-512 control The MAC 300 may be operated with USITT DMX512 controllers in 4 different modes that mix vector and/or tracking control with 8-bit or 16-bit pan/tilt resolution in different combinations. Tr a c k i n g v e r s u s v e c t o r c o n t r o l With tracking control the time it takes an effect to move from one position to another is controlled by programming a fade time on the controller. The controller divides the move into steps and updates the fixture with small changes at the rate required to achieve the fade. The MAC 300 follows or "tracks" the changes, and averages them with a digital filter algorithm to ensure smooth movement at all speeds. With vector control you set the fade speed on a separate speed channel. This provides a way to fade effects with controllers that do not have programmable fade times. With controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates, vector control provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds. Tracking control can be enabled in vector mode by setting one or both of the speed channels to "tracking speed." When setting a fade speed, though, the controller fade time must be 0, i.e., the position snaps from one value to the next. Vector control also provides a special "blackout speed" and overrides of the shortcut and pan/tilt speed personality settings. 8-bit versus 16-bit pan/tilt resolution With 8-bit pan/tilt resolution, pan and tilt are divided into 256 equal increments. Finer position control and smoother movement is provided in the 16-bit modes, which divide pan into 40,192 positions and tilt into 39,424 positions. Controllable effects All mechanical effects are reset to a home position when the fixture is powered up and they can also be reset from the controller. The DMX Reset function (P E RS/ dRE S), when set to off, prevents accidental resets by adding the requirement that each CMY channel be set to a DMX value from 230 to 232. An on-the-fly position correction system automatically corrects the position of the CMY wheels and the color wheel. Though this feature can be disabled by turning Effects Feedback (P ERS /EFF b) off, doing so is not recommended. Lamp With the default setting, the lamp 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. The MAC 300 automatically strikes the lamp within 90 seconds of being powered on only if the Automatic Lamp On setting (P ERS /AL ON) is turned on. A delay determined by the fixture address staggers lamp strikes to prevent excessive current draw. The lamp can be turned off from the controller. Note: the lamp cannot be restruck for 8 minutes after being turned off. Accidental "lamp off" commands can be prevented by turning the DMX Lamp Off setting (P ER S/d LOF) off. Operation 15 Dimmer / shutter The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides full, high-resolution dimming, and random or variable strobe effects up to 14 Hz. The Dimmer Mode (P ER S / dMO d) setting allows you to select between linear or simulated tungsten fade curves. For simulated tungsten dimming, the fade time must be set to 0. CMY subtractive color mixing The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%. Random CMY color mixing at three speeds can be selected on DMX channel 6. The Shortcuts setting (P E RS/ SCU T) determines whether or not the CMY wheels always take the shortest path to the next position; this setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Color The color wheel provides a 5500 to 2900K color temperature correction (CTC) filter, a UV filter, and 4 saturated dichroic color filters. The filters are replaceable; please see "Changing color filters" on page 18, and additional colors are available from Martin; please see "Accessories" on page 26. The wheel can be scrolled continuously - allowing for split color effects - or in steps, and rotated continuously in both directions at different speeds. The Shortcuts setting (P E RS/S CUT ) determines whether or not the wheel always takes the shortest path to the next position; this setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the effects speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to black out the light while the wheel is moving. Frost The variable frost filter softens and widens the beam. The beam field angle is 18° with no frost applied and increases to 35° with the frost applied fully. Pa n an d ti lt The yoke pans 540° and the head tilts 265°. Movement may be optimized for speed by setting the pan/tilt speed setting (P ER S / PTSP ) to FAS T, or for smoothness by setting it to SLOW. This setting may be overridden on the speed channel in vector mode. Setting the speed to "blackout" causes the shutter to close while the head is moving. The pan and tilt channels can be inverted and/or swapped in DMX mode with the pan/tilt personality settings (P E RS / P ATI). 16 Operation section 8 BASIC SERVICE The MAC 300 operates under challenging conditions presented by heat, humidity, dust, and touring. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The fixture requires regular maintenance to keep performing at its peak. The schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that you are not qualified to perform to a professional technician. WARNING! Removing covers exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure. Procedures requiring the removal of any cover shall be performed by professional users or technicians only. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool before removing any cover. Figure 5: Opening the head (base and yoke not shown) 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. 2. 3. 4. Allow the components to cool completely. Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol. A generous amount of regular glass cleaner may also be used, but no residues may remain. Rinse with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as Kodak Photoflo will help prevent streaking and spotting. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air. Fans To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fans be cleaned of dust and dirt periodically. Use a soft brush, vacuum, or compressed air. Basic Service 17 Changing color filters Handle color filters by their edges as much as possible and be careful not to chip the edges. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool. Remove the top cover from the head as shown in Figure 5. Rotate the color wheel until the filter is aligned with the access hole in the chassis plate. Gently tilt the filter out of the clips as shown in Figure 6 and remove. Installation is the reverse. Turn the filter so that the coated side faces the lamp. Coated side towards lamp Uncoated side towards stage When an object is held up to the coated side there is no space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the filter cannot be seen when looking through the coated side. When an object is held up to the uncoated side there is a space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the filter can be seen when looking through the uncoated side. Figure 6: Color filter removal and positioning Replacing fuses Po w e r s u p p ly f u s e s The fuses for each of the 3 low-voltage power supplies are located on the printed circuit board. If one of the circuit board LEDs does not light, one of these fuses may be blown. 1. 2. 3. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the 2 Philips screws from the plastic cover on the arm opposite the side with the visible motor and pull off the cover. Locate and replace the defective fuse with one of the same rating. The fuses are shown on the PCB layout diagram; their values are listed on page 27. Replace the cover before applying power. 18 Basic Service 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. 2. 3. Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse. Replace the fuse with one of the same type. The fuse rating is listed on serial number label. Close the fuse holder and replace the mains cable. Changing the XLR pin-out The signal polarity of the XLR connectors can be reversed, allowing the fixture to be connected directly to those Martin devices with reversed polarity (pin 3 -). Optionally, a phasereversing cable may be used. 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the 2 Philips screws from the cover on the arm opposite the side with the visible motor and pull off the cover. Position the jumpers on PL 233 and PL 234 for the desired XLR pin-out as shown. Replace the cover before applying power. PL234 PL233 PL234 PL233 Martin pin-out DMX pin-out (default) Figure 7: XLR jumpers 2. 3. Optimizing reflector alignment The MAC 300 reflector is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, however, fine adjustment may improve performance. 1. 2. Strike the lamp and shine the light on a flat surface. See Figure 1. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) by turning the 3 adjustment screws one at a time with a 3 mm Allen wrench. If there is no hot-spot, adjust the reflector until the light is even. To reduce a hot-spot, "push" the reflector out by turning all 3 screws counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed. 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. "Pull" the reflector in by turning the screws clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly distributed. 3. 4. Updating software The latest CPU control software for the MAC 300 is available from your Martin dealer and the Martin web site. This software is uploaded to the MAC 300 using the Martin MPBB1 Uploader. The display module and feedback system software are not updated this way. Normal upload Update software is uploaded using a Martin uploader such as the MPBB1. The uploader is connected to the fixture just like a controller. Under normal conditions, software can be installed from a remote location - there is no need to set the MAC 300 to boot mode. Please refer to the uploader manual for further instructions. Boot mode upload If the data is corrupted during transmission, a check-sum error (C S ER) occurs and after 15 seconds the fixture switches to boot mode (U PLd) and is ready for a boot mode upload as described in the uploader manual. If a software upload is interrupted, the fixture must be turned off for at least 10 seconds before a new upload can be attempted. When powered on, a check-sum error occurs and the fixture goes into boot mode, ready for a second upload attempt. Select boot mode upload on the uploader. If there is no functional software in memory, the fixture must be set to boot mode manually. If the control panel works, select UP Ld from the U TIL menu and confirm when S URE is displayed by pressing [ENTER]. Basic Service 19 If the control panel does not work, boot mode can be engaged by moving jumper PL121 on the main circuit board to pins 1 and 2 as follows. 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the plastic cover from the arm opposite the side with the visible motor. Move jumper PL121 to pins 1 and 2 (hard boot setting). See also the diagram on page 25. PIN 1 È PL121 PIN 1 È PL121 normal setting hard boot setting Figure 8: Hard boot jumper 2. 3. 4. Perform a boot-mode upload as described in the uploader manual. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Move the hard boot jumper back to the normal setting and replace the cover. Changing lenses A wide angle diffusion "lens" is available for the MAC 300. The diffuser gives the MAC 300 a 59° beam angle. If the frost filter is fully applied, the beam angle is 67°. Photometric data for this option is available at http://www.martin.dk/ service/Photometrics/MAC300-wide.htm. The kit may be ordered by P/N 91610016, "Wide angle diffuser lens kit for MAC 300." To change lenses: 1. 2. 3. 4. Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the top head cover. From the outside of the bottom head cover, remove the screw that holds the lens in place. Remove the lens. Install the new lens in the same position as the old one, in the inside lens slot. Replace the screw to secure the new lens. Replace the top head cover. 20 Basic Service section 9 TR O U B L E S H O O T I N G Problem One or more of the fixtures is completely dead. Probable cause(s) No power to fixture. Primary fuse blown.
