When powered up, check lamp alignment as described on page 7. Introduction 5 LAMP About the discharge lamp The MAC 550 Profile is designed to use the OSRAM HTI 400 W/D3 lamp. This highly-efficient double-ended short-arc source provides a color temperature of 7500K, a color rendering index greater than 80, an average service life of 750 hours and hot restrike. Warning! Installing any other lamp may create a safety hazard or damage the fixture! To reduce the risk of explosion, replace the lamp before usage exceeds 125% of the average service life, i.e., before usage exceeds 940 hours. To read lamp hours from the control panel, please refer to "Readouts" on page 12. For maximum service life, avoid turning off the lamp before it has warmed up fully. Figure 1: Lamp access Lamp replacement Important! Do not touch the quartz bulb with bare fingers. Replacement lamps are available from your Martin dealer. The clear quartz bulb must be clean and free of any oils from your fingers. Clean the lamp with an alcohol wipe and polish it with a dry cloth, particularly if you accidentally touch the bulb. To repl ace t he lamp 1 2 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool completely. Lock the head right-side up. Release the 4 quarter-turn fasteners marked with arrows on the rear plate. Pull the lamp assembly straight back as far as it goes and let it rest in place. Push down the retention spring on the right end of the socket and push out the pin. You can use a screwdriver to pry the lamp out of the socket as shown in Figure 2. Remove the lamp. Figure 2: Lamp removal 3 6 MAC 550 Profile 4 With the nipple on the replacement lamp facing back as shown in Figure 3, insert the left pin into the socket. Push down on the right-hand spring and snap the pin into place. Lift the lamp assembly so that lamp is level with the center of the reflector. Push the assembly straight in until it seats, making sure the lamp passes through the reflector opening. Push and turn the 4 fasteners a quarter turn or so clockwise to close the lamp access panel. After installing a new lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp strike counters. See "Time" on page 12. 5 6 7 To align the lamp Important! Align the lamp carefully. Too much hot-spot will damage optical components. 1 Switch on the MAC 550 Profile and allow it to reset. Using either a controller or the control module, turn on the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface. Figure 3: Lamp insertion 2 Center the hot spot vertically using the top Allen-head adjustment screw in the center of the rear plate. (See Figure 4.) If there is significant hot spot, turn the bottom adjustment screw counterclockwise 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, turn the bottom adjustment screw clockwise until the light is bright and evenly distributed. Figure 4: Lamp adjustment screws Lamp 7 AC POWER WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault protection. Important! Verify the power supply setting before applying power. Fuses The MAC 550 Profile comes with two main fuses: · a 6.3 A fuse (installed) for use with AC supplies of 200 - 260 volts · a 10 A fuse (packed with user manual) for use with AC supplies of 90 - 130 volts Install the appropriate fuse in the holder beneath the power switch. Power supply adjustment The MAC 550 Profile can operate on 90-130 V and 200-260 V AC mains supplies. The voltage selection switch is set at the factory for 200-260 V AC. For use with 90-130 V supplies, the fixture must be re configured as follows. To conf igure t he power suppl y 1 2 3 4 5 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the metal top cover from the front of the base, which is indicated by an arrow on the bottom. Locate the voltage selection switch. For operation on 200 - 260 V AC supplies, move the switch to the "230V" setting. For operation on 90 - 130 V AC supplies, move the switch the to "115V" setting. Replace the base cover. Remove the main fuse holder, which is located beneath the power switch. For operation on 200 - 260 V AC supplies, install the 6.3 A fuse. For operation on 90 - 130 V AC supplies, install the 10 A fuse. Power connection Important! Connect the MAC 550 Profile directly to AC power. Do not connect it to a dimmer system; doing so may damage the fixture. You may need to install a cord cap that fits your supply on the power cable. A 3-prong grounding-type plug must be installed following the manufacturer's instructions. The table shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician. To apply power, first verify that the head is unlocked and then set the power switch on the base to the "I" position.

Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 550 Profile has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5. The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs. For reliable data transmission and to avoid damage to the fixture, however, use one input and one output! 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. · Never use both outputs 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. 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. · Martin fixtures introduced before 1997 have reversed polarity data sockets (pin 2 hot and pin 3 cold). The socket polarity is labelled. Use a phase-reversing cable between the MAC 550 Profile and any Martin device with reversed polarity. To connect the data link 1 2 3 Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the MAC 550 Profile's 3-pin or 5-pin input (male) socket. Using the sockets that match your data cable, connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. Insert a male 120 XLR termination plug in the 3-pin or 5-pin output of the last fixture on the link. Data 9 RIGGING The MAC 550 Profile can be placed on stage or clamped to truss in any orientation. The mounting points allow the clamp brackets to be fastened parallel or perpendicular to the front as shown Figure 5. Figure 5: Clamp bracket positions Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point labelled "SAFETY WIRE" in the base. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment. Warning! To clamp t he f ixt ure on a truss 1 Verify that the rigging clamps are 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 each clamp securely to a clamp bracket with an M12 bolt (grade 8.8 or better) and lock nut. 3 Align a clamp with 2 mounting points in the base. Insert the fasteners into the base and turn both levers a full 1/4-turn clockwise to lock. Install the second clamp. 4 Block access under the work area. Working safely from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the arrow towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamps. 5 Install a safety wire that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. The attachment point is designed to fit a caribiner clamp. 6 Verify that the tilt lock is released. Verify that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 1 meter of the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby. 10 MAC 550 Profile CONTROL PANEL The LED control panel allows you to set user options and read fixture information. User settings may be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 Uploader. Menu navigation The DMX address and any status messages (see page 34) are displayed when the MAC 550 Profile is turned on. To enter the menu, press [Menu]. Press [Up] and [Down] to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [Enter]. To escape a function or menu, press [Menu]. See Table 2 on page 30 for a complete list of the menu items. Note: [Enter] must be pressed and held for a few seconds to enter the utilities menu. DMX address and protocol The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 550 Profiles may share the same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options. Depending on the selected DMX mode, the MAC 550 Profile requires 21 or 27 DMX channels. The basic mode uses 21 channels and provides coarse control of all effects plus fine control of gobo rotation, pan, and tilt. The extended mode uses 27 channels and provides the basic mode features plus fine control of the dimmer, color wheels, iris, focus, and zoom. To set DMX addr ess and protocol 1 2 3 Press [Menu] to enter the main menu. Press [Up] until A ddR is displayed. Press [Enter]. To snap to channel 1, press [Enter] and [Up]. Scroll to the desired channel and press [Enter]. Select P SET from the main menu and press [Enter]. Select 16B T for basic mode, or 16E X for extended mode. Press [Enter]. Tailoring performance Movement The MAC 550 Profile provides several options for optimizing movement for different applications. · The protocol setting (P SE T)setting selects the basic (1 6B T ) or extended (1 6E X) control mode. Extended mode provides finer position control of the dimmer, color wheels, iris, focus lens, and zoom lens than the basic mode. · The pan and tilt invert (P A TI)menu swaps and/or inverts pan and tilt. · The pan/tilt speed (P T SP) menu provides 3 settings: F AST, N ORM, and SL OW. NOR M is best for most applications. FA ST provides better performance in applications where speed is most important. SL OW provides the smoothest movement and is best in long-throw applications with slow movements through narrow angles. · The shortcuts (P ER S>S CUT) setting determines whether the gobo and color wheels take the shortest path between two positions, crossing the open position if necessary, or always avoid the open position. Dimmer The dimmer curve setting (P E R S >d I C U ) provides two options for dimmer behavior. Select d I M 1 to simulate tungsten dimming or dIM 2 for more linear dimming. Control panel 11 Display The display intensity (P E R S >d I NT ) setting controls display brightness. Select A U T O for automatic display or manually set the intensity to a level from 10 to 10 0. The display on/off setting (P E R S >d I S P ) determines whether the display remains on (O N ), remains on for 2 minutes after the last key press (2 MN), or for 10 minutes after the last key press (1 0 MN). To flip the display, press [Up] and [Down] simultaneously. Lamp There are two settings that modify lamp control: Automatic Lamp On (P E R S >A L O N ) and DMX Lamp Off (P ER S>DL oF ). When A LON is OF F, the lamp remains off until a "lamp on" command is received. When A LON is ON, the lamp strikes automatically after the fixture is powered on. When AL ON is set to DM X, the lamp strikes automatically when the fixture receives DMX data, and it extinguishes 15 minutes after DMX data is lost. When A L O N is set to either O N or D M X , the automatic lamp strike timing is staggered to prevent all lamps from striking at once. The delay is determined by the fixture address. The DMX Lamp Off (D L oF) setting allows you to enable (O N) or disable (O FF) the DMX command that switches off the lamp. The special combination of DMX values listed on page 14 allows you to execute the lamp-off command even when disabled. DMX reset The DMX reset (P ERS >dR ES ) setting controls the behavior of the reset command. When set to ON , the command is fully enabled. When set to O F F, the command is disabled to prevent accidental resets. When set to 5 S E C , the command must be sent for five seconds. Readouts Time INF O>T IME provides readouts of fixture hours (H R S), lamp hours (L HR ), and lamp strikes (L ST ). Under each item is a resettable (R S E T ) increment counter and a non-resettable (T O T L ) counter for total accumulated hours/strikes since fabrication. To reset an increment counter, display it and then press [Up] until it reads 0. Temperature INF O>T EMP provides readouts of the head and base temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit. Firmware version INF O>V ER displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup. DMX The DMX log (d MX L) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems. R A T E 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. qU A L 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. STC O displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular performance. The remaining options under d MXL display the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem. 12 MAC 550 Profile Manual control The manual control menu (M A N) provides commands for turning the lamp on (L ON), turning the lamp off (L oFF), and resetting the fixture (R ST). It also permits you to position and move individual effects. Service utilities Important! Enter must be held for several seconds to access the utilities menu. Feedback toggles An on-the-fly position correction system monitors the gobo and color wheels, rotating gobos, and the animation wheel. If a position error is detected, the shutter closes while the effect resets. This feature can be disabled by turning effects feedback (U TI L>EF Fb ) off. The automatic pan/tilt position correction system may be temporarily turned off under U T I L > F E b A . The off setting, however, is not saved and the system will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts. If the system cannot correct the pan/tilt position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically disabled. Adjustment The adjustment menu (U TIL >Ad j) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See page 33. Software upload The upload mode command (U T I L > U P L d ) prepares the fixture for a software update. This command is not necessary, however, as upload mode is engaged automatically by the uploader. Control panel 13 EFFECTS This section describes the functions programmed in the MAC 550 Profile DMX protocols. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, basic and extended. The extended mode requires six more DMX channels than the basic mode and provides all features of the basic mode plus fine control of the dimmer, color wheels, iris, zoom, and focus. Channels references in this section refer to the extended mode protocol unless otherwise noted. The complete DMX protocol begins on page 25. Lamp power Lamp-on The lamp-on command on channel 1 closes the relay that provides power to the lamp. When the lamp is on, the command has no effect. 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 doused from the controller with the lamp-off command. The command must be sent for 5 seconds. If the lamp-off command is disabled (P E R S>d L O F >O F F ), the lamp-off command works only if the following effects are selected: · · · · · color wheel 1: slot 1 (DMX 189 - 193) color wheel 2: slot 1 (DMX 189 - 193) prism: in, no rotation (DMX 80 - 89) gobo wheel 1: open (DMX 0 - 11) gobo wheel 2: open (DMX 0 or 194 - 202) Fixture 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. If DMX reset is disabled (P E R S>d R ES >O F F ), the reset command can only be executed if the conditions listed under "Lamp-off" are met. If it is set to 5SE C, the reset command must be sent for 5 seconds before executing. Dimming and strobe The mechanical dimmer/shutter system provides smooth, high-resolution 100 percent 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. Fine control of the dimmer is available in extended mode. 14 MAC 550 Profile Color The two overlapping color wheels each have 8 color filters that scroll continuously, allowing split colors, or in full-color steps. The protocol provides commands for random and continuous color scrolling at different speeds. Fine control of the color wheels is available in extended mode. Rotating gobos Gobo wheel 1 has six rotating gobos that can be indexed (repeatedly positioned at a programmed angle), rotated continuously, shaken (bounced), and scrolled. The gobo slot and the type of movement are selected on channel 8 and the index angle or rotation speed are selected on channels 9 (coarse) and 10 (fine). Static gobos Gobo wheel 2 has nine static gobos that can be scrolled continuously, allowing split gobo effects, or in full-gobo steps. The protocol provides commands for random and continuous gobo scrolling at different speeds. Gobo macros Channel 12 (9 in basic mode) provides 6 preprogrammed variable-speed macros that use different combinations of color and gobos. Gobo animation The gobo animation system is designed to create animated effects such as rising flames or windswept clouds when combined with overlapping gobos. Channel 13 (10 in basic mode) sets the animation wheel's rotation mode (indexed or continuous), and direction of movement. This channel also provides 5 programmed animation macros. Channel 14 sets the wheel's index angle if indexed rotation is selected, or its rotation speed and direction if continuous rotation is selected. Prism and iris The prism may be inserted and rotated clockwise and counterclockwise at varying speeds. The prism control channel also provides 8 programmed macros. The iris channel controls the diameter of the iris opening and provides variable speed pulsing effects. Fine control of the iris is provided in extended mode. Focus and zoom The focus lens focusses the beam from approximately 2 meters (6.5 feet) to infinity. The separate zoom lens varies the focused beam angle from 14° to 30°. Fine control of focus and zoom is provided in extended mode. Effects 15 Pan and tilt Pan and tilt are controlled on channels 22 to 25 (16 to 19 in basic mode). The coarse control channels set the first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channels set the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte. In other words, the fine channel works within the position set by the coarse channel. Speed channels Tracking versus vector control Important! Effect movement may be rough and unpredictable if controller fade times are combined with vector speed values. The speed channels provide two methods for controlling speed that are known as "tracking" and "vector". With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by a cross-fade time programmed on the controller. With this method, the controller divides a movement into tiny steps that the fixture "tracks". Tracking control is enabled by setting the speed channels to one of the tracking values listed in the DMX protocol. With vector control, speed is set with a DMX value on the speed channel. This provides a way to control speed on controllers without cross-faders. Vector control can also provide smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates. When using vector control, the controller's cross-fade time, if available, must be 0. Blackout When "blackout while moving" is selected on a speed channel, the shutter closes when an effect moves to make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete. This function is available for pan, tilt, color, gobo, and prism change. Personality overrides The pan/tilt speed channel provides tracking values that allow you to override the pan/tilt speed setting from the controller. The effects speed channel provides values for overriding the shortcuts setting for the color and gobo wheels. 16 MAC 550 Profile OPTICAL Color wheels CONFIGURATION The MAC 550 Profile provides two overlapping color wheels with 8 interchangeable color filters and an open position. Color wheel 1 is closer to the lamp and color wheel 2 is closer to the lens. The illustrations show the filter positions as seen from the lens. Refer to the DMX protocol for filter names. 2 1 3 4 5 7 8 6 5 4 8 7 1 6 2 3 Figure 6: Filter positions, wheel 1 (left) and wheel 2 (right), seen from lens To replace a color f ilt er Note: Use only genuine MAC 550 color filters. 1 2 3 Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool. Remove the bottom cover. Turn the color wheel to access the desired filter position. Press the filter forwards slightly to release it and then grasp it by the edges and remove. If your fingers are too large, protect the glass with a piece of paper that has been folded several times and grasp the filter with needle nose pliers. To insert a filter, slide it under the retention spring until it snaps into place. B A 4 5 Figure 7: Filter replacement Replace the cover before applying power. Optical configuration 17 Gobos Gobo wheel 1 provides 6 rotating gobos; gobo wheel 2 provides 9 static gobos. The standard gobo configuration is shown in Figure 8. All gobos are interchangeable with the following limitations: · On wheel 1 (rotating), the gobo retention spring works with gobos up to 3 mm in thickness. Thicker gobos can be glued to the holder with a UV adhesive or Loctite 330 Multibond with Activator. · On wheel 2 (static), the maximum thickness for gobos is 1.1 mm. 6 1 8 9 1 2 5 2 7 3 4 3 6 5 4 Figure 8: Gobo wheels as seen from front lens Custom gobos Martin can provide many additional gobos for the MAC 550 Profile, which accepts the same size gobos as the MAC 500. For more information, please visit the Martin web site at www.martin.com. Custom glass gobos should be made with the artwork reversed on the coated side. This orientation minimizes reflections but is not critical. While glass gobos are generally the most durable, satisfactory results can be obtained at less expense with aluminum gobos. Custom stainless steel gobos can also be used, however they can warp, losing sharpness, in a matter of hours. The useful life will depend on the gobo pattern and the projection cycle. Consult your gobo supplier for more information. For best results, custom gobos should meet the specifications listed on page 37. 18 MAC 550 Profile Gobo orientation Figure 9 shows the correct orientation for different gobo types. When in doubt, install gobos with the more reflective side towards the lamp. Uncoated side towards lamp Coated side towards stage Coated Glass Gobos 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 gobo 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.

Replace the top head cover before applying power. Animation wheel The MAC 550 Profile comes with the "Radial breakup" animation wheel installed. Three additional stock patterns are available. Radial breakup (included) P/N 62325048 Spiral breakup (optional) P/N 62325049 Linear breakup (optional) P/N 62325050 Coarse tangential (optional) P/N 62325051 Figure 11: MAC 550 Profile animation wheels 20 MAC 550 Profile To repl ace t he gobo animat ion wheel Note: The replacement animation wheel can be inserted with the magnet in or out to suit your application. In fixed applications, install the wheel with the magnet forwards, away from the drive mechanism, for easier removal. In touring or similar applications where the fixture is frequently moved, install the animation wheel with the magnet in towards the drive mechanism for a more secure hold. 1 2 3 4 5 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. Remove the gobo module as described on page 22. Stand the module on the work surface with the cooling fans to your left and the color wheel to your right. Bring the animation wheel to the side of the module closest to you by turning the black belt on the right. To avoid bending the animation wheel while removing, break the magnet's initial hold by prying the wheel off with a screwdriver inserted from the back. Once you have broken the hold, you can safely grasp the wheel by the edge and remove. Orient the replacement wheel with the magnet in or out to suit your application. (See note.) Place the wheel over the drive mechanism and align the hole in the wheel with the drive pin. Reinstall the gobo module. Verify that the guide pins are correctly seated and that the module is securely locked.

Unlock the module and pull straight up to remove. When reinstalling, verify that the guide pins are correctly seated and that the module is securely locked. Cleaning Regular cleaning is very important for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust, dirt, smoke particles, fog fluid residues, etcetera, degrade the fixture's light output and cooling ability. Clean the fixture at least once a month, more often if operated frequently in dusty or smoke-filled locales. Experience and consultation with your Martin service representative will help you determine the appropriate maintenance schedule. Use care when cleaning optical components and work in a clean, well lit area. The coated surfaces are fragile and easily scratched. Do not use solvents that can damage plastic or painted surfaces. To clean the fixture 1 2 3 4 5 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow the components to cool completely. Remove the gobo and dimmer modules as described earlier. Unscrew the front lens ring a quarter turn counterclockwise and remove. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed air. Carefully clean the optical components. Remove smoke and other residues with cotton swabs or unscented tissues moistened with isopropyl alcohol. A commercial glass cleaner may be used, but residues must be removed with distilled water. Clean with a slow Figure 15: Front lens removal circular motion from center to edge. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. Do not rub the surface: lift the particles off with a soft repeated press. Remove dust from the head fans and air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air. On each side of the head, remove the 2 screws that hold the side covers. Slide the covers forward to remove. Clean the air filters or replace them. If they are saturated with smoke fluid, etcetera, soak them in warm soapy water and blot dry. Position the filters on the side covers and reinstall. See Figure 16. Reassemble the head. Remove the screws from the side cover/grill on the front of the base, which is indicated by an arrow on the bottom. Remove the top cover from the front of the base. Lift the power supply / ballast module up and out to expose the base fans for inspection and cleaning. 6 7 8 9 10 Reinstall the power supply / ballast module and base cover. Lubrication The MAC 550 Profile does not require lubrication under normal circumstances. The slides for the zoom and focus lens cars are lubricated with a long-lasting exotic grease that can be reapplied by a Martin service partner if necessary.
