Frequently Asked Questions - Destroyer X250 MARTIN

How do I assemble the Destroyer X250 food processor?
Place the bowl on the motor unit, align the handle and twist clockwise until it locks. Insert the desired attachment (blade, whisk, or dough hook) onto the drive shaft and press down until it clicks. Secure the lid by aligning the arrows and twisting clockwise until it locks.
Can I process hot ingredients in the Destroyer X250?
No, do not process hot liquids or ingredients above 60°C. The plastic bowl is not heat-resistant and hot ingredients may cause warping or injury. Allow foods to cool before processing.
What is the maximum capacity for liquid processing?
For liquid mixtures, do not fill beyond the 1.5 L mark (60% of total capacity) to prevent overflow during blending. For solid chopping, you can fill up to the 2 L mark.
How do I clean the Destroyer X250?
Most parts are dishwasher safe: bowl, lid, blade, whisk, and dough hook. Place them on the top rack. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the base in water.
Why does the motor stop suddenly during use?
The Destroyer X250 has an overload protection feature. If the motor stops, unplug and let it cool for 15 minutes. Reduce the load (remove some ingredients) before restarting. Ensure the unit is not blocked.
Can I use the Destroyer X250 to crush ice?
Yes, use the chopping blade in short pulses (1-2 seconds each) to crush ice. Do not overfill the bowl. For best results, use ice cubes directly from the freezer.
Is the Destroyer X250 suitable for kneading dough?
Yes, use the dough hook attachment. The bowl capacity allows up to 500g of flour-based dough. Do not exceed 60% of the bowl volume to avoid overloading.
What should I do if the lid lock is not engaging?
Ensure the lid is properly aligned with the bowl arrows and the bowl is locked onto the base. Check if the gasket is properly seated. If the lock still does not engage, clean the locking mechanism and try again.
Can I blend hot soup directly in the Destroyer X250?
No, hot liquids must be cooled to below 60°C before blending. The pressure from hot steam can cause the lid to pop off and cause burns. Let the soup cool, then blend.
Where can I find replacement parts for the Destroyer X250?
Replacement parts such as blades, bowls, and lids can be ordered through the Martin official website or authorized dealers. Check the product page for spare parts availability. Use only genuine Martin parts.

INTRODUCTION

The Destroyer X250 and Punisher X250, developed and manufactured by Martin Professional, are aggressive disco lighting effects using a powerful 250W halogen lamp. With a motorized parabolic reflector and gobo wheel, they produce a myriad of turning beams that change color and pattern on demand. There is a “flash” effect for strobe-like animation and, on the Punisher, a motor driven “shake” effect.

Unlike most fixtures of this type, the effects of the Destroyer and Punisher are programmable from any standard DMX-512 controller, using a single or multi-channel protocol. Alternatively, the Destroyer and Punisher can be directly triggered from a music source as stand-alone units. In addition, the Destroyer can run several units in master/client configuration.

User manual

Before starting to operate the unit you need to:

Install the halogen lamp (not included)

Fit a mains plug

Check voltage setting

Fit the mounting bracket

Rig the unit in its permanent site

WARNING! Always disconnect the unit from AC power before performing any installation or service procedure.

INSTALLING THE LAMP

See the specifications on page 16 for lamps that may be used in the Destroyer X250 and Punisher X250. Do not install any other lamp.

Warning! Allow the unit to cool for 15 minutes before handling.

1 Remove the 2 screws from the lamp access plate on the bottom of the unit.
2 Loosen the thumbscrew and pull back on the lamp socket/reflector assembly until the assembly is free of its mounting plate. Remove the lamp assembly.
3 Hold the new lamp in a cloth to avoid contaminating it with oils from your fingers. Press it squarely into the socket.
4 Hold the lamp assembly by the socket end, with the thumbscrew up. Slide the thumbscrew into the notch on the mounting plate. Align the holes in the assembly with the guide screws on the mounting plate and press the lamp assembly flush against the mounting plate. Tighten the thumbscrew.
5 Replace the lamp access cover.

The Destroyer/Punisher is delivered from the factory without a plug on the mains cable. You will have to fit a plug that conforms to your local mains outlet. The double insulated mains cable contains three wires.

1 Connect the BROWN wire to the LIVE pin.
2 Connect the BLUE wire to the NEUTRAL pin.
3 Connect the YELLOW/GREEN wire to the EARTH pin.

ADJUSTING THE VOLTAGE SETTING

The voltage setting on the Destroyer/Punisher shall match the local power supply. The factory setting is printed on the serial number label on rear of the unit. If the setting does not match the local power supply, rewire the unit as follows:

Important! To prevent damage, the RED wire must be connected to an outside pin as shown.

1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. Remove the top cover from the unit by unscrewing the 4 screws that hold it in place.
2 Locate and disconnect the plug with red, yellow, and blue wires at the top-right corner of the printed circuit board, as seen from the back of the unit.
3 To change to 230 V AC (EU version) or 110 V AC (US version), flip and move the plug right so that the red wire connects to the pin closest to the edge.
4 To change to 245 V AC (EU version) or 120 V AC (US version), flip and move the plug left so that the red wire connects to the pin furthest from the edge.

REMOVING THE TRANSPORT SECURITY PLATE (PUNISHER ONLY)

Before first operating the Punisher, you need to remove the transport security plate inside the unit. This plate holds the mirror assembly during transit, and must be removed to enable the “shake effect”.

1 Remove the top cover from the unit by unscrewing the 4 Phillips screws that hold it in place.
2 Locate the parabolic mirror assembly in the center of the unit and unscrew the 4 RED Phillips screws holding the transport plate. Remove the plate.
3 Reassemble the unit.

FITTING THE MOUNTING BRACKET

Fit the supplied mounting bracket using the plastic spacers, star washers and thumbscrews. The star washer must be placed between the bracket and the plastic spacer.

RIGGING THE UNIT

1 Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, etc.
2 If hanging the fixture with a rigging clamp, verify that the clamp is undamaged and is designed for 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 clamp hole in the mounting bracket.
3 If permanently installing the fixture, verify that the hardware (not included) and mounting surface can bear at least 10 times the fixture's weight. The four small holes and the clamp hole in the mounting bracket may be used for attachment.
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 support and mounting bracket.
6 Loosen the thumbscrews, tilt the fixture to the desired angle, and retighten.
7 Verify that the fixture is at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from the surface to be illuminated and at least 0.1 meters (4 in.) from any combustible materials. Verify that the clearance around the air vents is at least 0.1 meters (4 in.).

A reliable data connection begins with the right cable. Standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For best results, use cable specifically designed for RS-485 applications.

The XLR data sockets are wired with 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 fixture to the controller and/or other lights as many devices have 5-pin connectors and others may have reversed signal polarity.

1 C onnect a data cable to the controller's output. If controller has a 5-pin output, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).
2 Lead the data cable from the controller to the first fixture. Plug the cable into the fixture's data input.
3 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting two fixtures with reversed polarity on pins 2 and 3, insert a phase-reversing cable between the two fixtures.
4 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
5 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.

On the rear of the unit is a 10-way DIP-switch with the following functions:

Switch ON OFF
1 - 8 DMX address (1 - 255)
9 1-channelDMX Multi-channel DMX (5/6)
10Client (DMX reception)Master (DMX transmission - Destroyer only)

DMX MODE SETTING

The Destroyer/Punisher has two DMX modes: a 1-channel mode and a multi-channel mode that requires 5 channels for the Destroyer and 6 channels for the Punisher.

The 1-channel mode is simpler and saves channels on your controller. In this mode, the unit becomes more aggressive the higher you set the fader. The Martin MC-1 controller is specially designed to operate the Destroy/Punisher and other Martin products is 1-channel mode. When using the Destroyer X250 and Punisher X250 with the MC-1, the address (see below) must be set to DMX channel 1.

For full control of each effect, use the multi-channel mode. The functions of each mode are described in appendix a.

- Use DIP-switch 9 to select the DMX mode. Flip the pin ON for 1-channel operation of OFF for multi-channel operation.

ADDRESS SETTING

Use the first 8 DIP-switches to set the DMX address (the first DMX channel on which the Destroyer/Punisher responds to the controller) to any value between 1 and 255. The address is the sum of the values for each individual DIP-switch that is ON.

Important! DIP-switch 10 must be flipped ON when using the Destroyer or Punisher with a controller. Otherwise, both the unit and the controller will transmit DMX signals and damage to one or both devices may occur.

1 Select an address for the fixture on your controller. When using the MC-1 controller, the address must be DMX channel 1.
2 Look up the DIP-switch setting for the address on page 11.
3 Set pins 1 through 8 to the ON (1) or OFF (0) position as listed in the table.
4 Set pin 9 to ON for 1-channel operation, or OFF for multi-channel operation.
5 Set pin 10 to the ON position.

ADDRESS TABLE

Locate the channel in the table below. Follow the row to the left to find the settings for pins 1 to 5; follow the column to the top to find the settings for pins 6 to 8. Pin 9 selects DMX mode. Pin 10 selects controller or stand-alone operation and stand-alone master/client on the Destroyer.

If the unit does not receive control data, it automatically goes into stand-alone mode and performs a random sequence triggered by sounds picked up by the built-in microphone.

If you have two or more Destroyers, this feature allows you to operate all the units in synchronization. You must assign one, but only one, unit to be master, by setting DIP-switch 10 OFF. The unit will then be sending DMX signals (via its XLR in and output connectors) that correspond to what it is doing itself. You can then connect up to 32 clients which will all perform exactly the same when set to DMX address 1.

Important! To prevent damage to the electronic circuitry, one, and only one, fixture may be set as master (DIP-switch 10 OFF).

1 Disconnect all fixtures from AC power.
2 On the master unit, set DIP-switch 10 OFF.
3 On all client units, set DIP-switch 1 and 10 ON.
4 Insert a 120Ω female XLR termination plug (P/N 91613018) in the DMX input socket of the master unit.
5 Connect the DMX output of the master unit to the input of one of the clients using a XLR-XLR cable. Continue the link this way, always connecting output to input (daisy-chain), until all clients are linked together.
