AC power

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - AC power - 1

Warning! Read "Safety Information" starting on page 3 before connecting the MAC 401 to AC mains power.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - AC power - 2

For protection from electric shock, the MAC 401 must be grounded (earthed). The AC power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.

The MAC 401 does not have a power on/off switch. To shut down power in an emergency, disconnect the fixture's power input connector.

Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the MAC 401, as this may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.

The MAC 401 can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently. If you do this, provide a means of shutting down power near the fixture. Alternatively a power cable (not supplied) with a power plug suitable for local power output sockets can be used to supply the fixture with AC mains power.

Power voltage

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Power voltage - 1

Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixture's serial number label matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture.

MAC 401 fixtures are factory-configured to accept AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz.

Do not apply AC mains power to the fixture at any other voltage than that specified on the fixture's serial number label.

Power cable and plugs

The fixture must be connected to AC power using three-conductor cable that is rated 20 A minimum (12 AWG or 2.5 mm ^2 ), with a diameter of 5 - 15 mm (0.2 - 0.6 in.). The cable jacket must be SJT type or better and heat-resistant to 90°C (194°F) minimum. A power cable is not supplied with the product.

The MAC 401 is supplied with a male Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA locking 3-pole input connector that can be attached to the end of the power cable. Only use this connector to disconnect the fixture from power in an emergency – frequent use can cause damage to the connector or socket due to arcing across the terminals.

The power cable can either be permanently connected to a building's electrical installation circuits (in this case an external power switch must be installed close to the fixture) or fitted with a power plug that is suitable for the local AC mains power outlets.

If you decide to install a power plug on the fixture's power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is correctly rated for the current and power requirements of the fixture. Follow the plug manufacturer's instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

A data link is required in order to control a MAC 401 via DMX.

The MAC 401 has 5-pin locking XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on XLR 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 MAC 401 but they are connected from the DMX input to the DMX output connector to allow any data that may be present on pins 4 and 5 to pass through the fixture.

Sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs.

Two RJ-45 connectors are also provided, making the MAC 401 ready for future data communication options over an Ethernet link. If you wish to use these options when available, ensure that the latest available firmware is installed in the fixture.

Tips for reliable DMX 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.
  • To split the link into branches, use a splitter such as the Martin™ RS-485 Opto-Splitter™ 4-channel optically isolated 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.

  1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the MAC 401's 5-pin male XLR input socket.
  2. Continue connecting fixtures, DMX output to DMX input, in one single chain.
  3. Use a splitter-amplifier such as the Martin RS-485 Optosplitter (P/N 90758060) if you need to branch the link into two chains.
  4. Insert a DMX termination plug in the DMX output of the last fixture on each chain.

Physical installation

The MAC 401 can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using the quarter-turn clamp brackets supplied with the fixture and a half-coupler (not supplied).

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Physical installation - 1

Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point on the connections panel (see Figure 2).

Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm (8 in.) from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 200 mm (8 in.) from the head, that there is free airflow around the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

Make sure that it is impossible for the moving head to collide with another fixture or other object.

Ensure that wherever the product is installed that people are not able to look directly down the LED beam zone from within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet 4 inches). At less than this distance, the LED emission can cause eye injury or irritation. At distances of 1 meter (3 feet 4 inches) and above, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided that the eye's natural aversion response is not overcome.

Placing the fixture on a flat surface

The MAC 401 can be placed on a stage or other level, flat surface. Check that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Placing the fixture on a flat surface - 1

Warning! The supporting surface must be hard and flat or air vents in the base may be blocked, which will cause overheating. Secure the fixture against falling. Attach a securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point (see Figure 2) if the fixture is to be placed above ground level in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The MAC 401 can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. Clamp brackets can be attached to the base of the fixture using quarter-turn quick connectors.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Mounting the fixture on a truss - 1

Warning! Use two clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp bracket by turning both 1/4-turn fasteners fully clockwise.

To clamp a MAC 401 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. Obtain two rigging clamps and check that they are undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Bolt the clamps securely to the supplied clamp brackets with a minimum grade 8.8 M12 bolt and lock nut.

  3. See Figure 2. Align each of the two clamp brackets with two mounting points in the base. Insert the quarter-turn fasteners into the base and turn all levers a full 90° clockwise to lock.

  4. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss. Tighten the rigging clamps.

  5. Secure the fixture against clamp or bracket failure with a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture using the attachment point in the base of the fixture (arrowed in Figure 2). This attachment point is designed to accept a carabiner clamp. Do not use any other part of the fixture as a safety cable attachment point.

  6. Check that the head will not collide with other fixtures or objects.

Pixel inversion

The DMX - PINV submenu can be used to invert the pixel settings, from left to right and top to bottom.

DMX setup

When one LED module is installed in the front of the head, the MAC 401 automatically sets HEAD to SNGL in the control panel, automatically recognizes the type of module installed and makes the correct DMX protocol available. The module can be controlled using "DMX protocol, RGB Zoom module" on page 25 or "DMX protocol, CT Zoom module" on page 31, depending on which type of module is installed.

If a second LED module is installed on the rear of the head, the MAC 401 automatically sets HEAD to DUAL in the control panel, automatically recognizes the types of module installed and makes the correct DMX protocol available for each module, but it removes the pan, fine pan, tilt, fine tilt and fixture control DMX channels from the protocol for the module installed on the rear of the head. These are only available in the DMX protocol for the module installed on the front of the head.

DMX address setting

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each LED module must be assigned its own control channels. Two modules of the same type in the same fixture or in different fixtures may share the same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetrical control of fixtures, particularly when combined with the inverse pan and tilt options.

The DMX address is configured using the ADDR menu in the control panel. The highest address available is reduced depending on mode settings so that the fixture will always have enough DMX channels in the 512 available in a DMX universe. If the fixture is set up so that it uses 33 DMX channels, for example, the highest address available will be 480.

Whether one or two LED modules are installed on a fixture, all modules' DMX addresses must be set manually using the ADDR menu for that module. You can set the address of each module on the rear of the head immediately after the channels used by the module on the front of that head, or group similar modules together, for example, or set addresses according to any other preference. Table 2 and Table 3 on the following pages can help you determine the number of DMX channels used by a module, if you are in any doubt.

DMX control modes

The MAC 401 can be set to various combinations of DMX control modes using the DMX - PSET menu. Different modes are available for RGB Zoom and CT Zoom LED modules. See "DMX protocols" on page 25 for details of the DMX commands available in the different modes. The MAC 401 automatically recognizes which type of LED modules are fitted to the front and rear and lists only the DMX modes available for those modules:

RGB Zoom module control modes

If an RGB Zoom LED module is installed, it can be set to six DMX control modes in the DMX - PSET menu:

  • RAWX – Uncalibrated RGB color mixing with dynamic effects available
  • RGBX – Calibrated RGB color mixing with dynamic effects available (this is the default control mode setting)
  • HSX – Hue, saturation, value color control with dynamic effects available
  • RAW – Uncalibrated RGB color mixing with no dynamic effects available
  • RGB – Calibrated RGB color mixing with no dynamic effects available
  • HS – Hue, saturation, value color control with no dynamic effects available

CTC (color temperature control) is available in all six modes.

CT Zoom module control modes

If a CT Zoom LED module is installed, it can be set to two DMX control modes in the DMX - PSET submenu:

  • CTX – Warm white, cold white, CTC with dynamic effects available (this is the default control mode setting)
  • CT – Warm white, cold white, CTC with no dynamic effects available.

One DMX channel between the warm white and cold white channels on CT Zoom modules is left unused so that RGB Zoom and CT Zoom modules use the same number of channels. This avoids the need to repatch lighting desks if one type of LED module is replaced with another.

DMX channel requirements

The number and type of LED modules installed, pixel grouping and control mode determine the number of DMX channels used:

  • When two LED modules are installed, the DMX protocol for the module on the rear of the head does not contain coarse and fine pan, coarse and fine tilt or fixture control channels. This module will thus require five less DMX channels than if it was installed on the front of the head.
  • The RGB Zoom module uses four channels per pixel group to control Red/Green/Blue/CTC or Hue/Saturation/Value/CTC.
  • The CT Zoom module uses four channels per pixel group to control warm white/unused/cold white/CTC.
  • No matter which LED module is installed and whether it is installed in the front or rear of the head, pixel group setting PGRP - AII uses four channels, pixel group settings 2H and 2V divide the module into two groups and therefore use eight channels, and pixel group setting 1 divides the module into four groups and therefore uses sixteen channels to control color or color temperature. See “Pixel grouping” on page 13.
  • Control modes that incorporate dynamic effects use eight additional DMX channels.

Tailoring performance

The following performance options are available in the PERS menu.

Pan and tilt movement

The MAC 401 provides several options for optimizing movement for different applications.

- Pan and tilt speed can be set to normal or fast with the PTST - PTSP command.

- The PINV and TINV commands invert the direction of pan and tilt and the SWAP command sets pan commands to tilt and vice versa. These settings are useful for symmetrical effects with multiple fixtures.

Resetting via DMX

By default, it is possible to reset the whole fixture, reset pan and tilt only or reset effects only by sending a DMX command on the Fixture Control DMX channel (the last of the channels used). This feature can be disabled (to avoid accidental resets in the middle of a show, for example) and enabled in the DRES submenu.

If the DMX reset feature is disabled in the DRES submenu, it is still possible to override this setting and reset the fixture via DMX by sending DMX value 232 on channel 2 and DMX value zero on channel 1 before applying the reset command on the Fixture Control channel.

Cooling

The FANS submenu gives you a choice of three cooling fan settings:

- The default setting REG sets fans to temperature-regulated operation. This setting should suit use in all normal situations and ensure excellent service lifetimes for all components.

- The FULL setting maximizes cooling and reduces the operating temperature of the components in the head. It is recommended when the MAC 401 is used intensively in a warm environment or in fixed installations. Note that this setting will give increased fan noise compared to temperature-regulated fan operation.

- When the SLNT setting is selected, Silent mode is activated and head fan speed is reduced to minimum. The base fan will still run. Maximum values allowed for RGB or HSV will be limited (no matter what operating mode is selected), so that less heat is generated. If the LEDs get too hot the fans will revert to Regulated mode. When the LEDs are cool enough the fans shift back to Silent mode. The color wheel channel has lower intensity when Silent mode is engaged.

Whatever cooling mode is selected, a thermal cutout shuts down power to the LEDs if the fixture temperature exceeds safe limits. If this occurs, you must reset the fixture via the control menus or via DMX, or cycle power to the fixture off and on again.

If a thermal shutdown occurs, you are pushing the fixture to its limits. Clean the fixture, particularly the air vents, and check that there is sufficient airflow around the fixture. Consider increasing ventilation, reducing the ambient temperature, or switching to FULL mode.

Dimming

DIM allows you to select a dimming curve for overall intensity. You can choose from an optically linear curve, a square-law curve that gives finer control at low intensity and coarser control at high intensity, an inverse square-law curve, and an S-curve that gives finer control at low and high intensities and coarser control at medium intensities (see Figure 6).

Display settings

The D I SP submenu can be used to adjust the length of time the display is on before it switches off automatically and goes into Sleep mode. You can also deactivate Sleep mode so that the display remains on all the time.

You can set the intensity level of the display using the DINT submenu. The default is 100%.

Two modes are available for displaying error messages in the ERRM submenu. The default is setting is normal, where error messages appear on the display at 100% intensity (regardless of what the display intensity has been set to), and the service light illuminates. Alternatively, a 'silent' error mode is available, where no error message is displayed, but the service light illuminates.

Effects

MAC 401 - all models

This section describes the lighting effects available in all currently available models of the MAC 401.

Shutter effect

The electronic ‘shutter’ effect provides instant open and blackout, variable speed regular and random strobe, and opening/closing pulse effects.

Dimming

Overall intensity can be adjusted using 0 - 100% electronic dimming.

Zoom

The motorized zoom varies the beam angle continuously from 20^ through to 50^ . The zoom can also be set to Hypermode where the beam angle is fixed at 16^ .

Pan and tilt

The MAC 401 fixture's moving head can be panned through 630^ and tilted through 300^ . Coarse (8-bit/Most Significant Byte) and fine (16-bit/Least Significant Byte) control of pan and tilt are available in all DMX modes. The fine channels allow fine adjustment of pan and tilt at the position set on the coarse channels.

Bear in mind that if two head modules are installed, the second module will point towards the base, and direct light output will be lost, during a portion of its tilt range.

Pre-programmed dynamic effects 1 and 2

Both RGB Zoom and CT Zoom LED modules feature two superimposable dynamic effects. These effects are pre-programmed macros that give quick access to a variety of effects from the DMX controller without the need for complex programming.

Effect crossfade times for the change from one segment to the next can be set from zero (snap) to approximately one second.

Certain effects divide LEDs into two or four segments for a chase that gives a 'pixel wheel' rotation effect.

Pulse, flip and flicker effects are also available.

The speed of the dynamic effects – including rotation speed and direction of the 'pixel wheel' effect – can be adjusted on a separate DMX channel for each of the two dynamic effects.

The dynamic effects have greater visual impact in the RGB Zoom module but can add 'life' to the CT Zoom module.

MAC 401 Dual / RGB Zoom LED module

This section describes the lighting effects available in the RGB LED module that is fitted as standard to the MAC 401 Dual and available as an accessory for the MAC 401 CT Zoom.

Raw RGB color mixing

Uncalibrated red, green, blue color mixing is available, with 0 - 100% intensity control on one DMX channel for each color. Setting a color to 100% intensity will set each LED to its absolute maximum output.

Calibrated RGB color mixing

Red, green, blue color mixing is available, with 0 - 100% calibrated intensity control on one DMX channel for each color. Setting a color to 100% intensity will set each LED to a calibrated maximum output. In other

words, output is very slightly lower than absolute maximum output to allow a margin for adjustment, and LED modules are individually calibrated at the factory to ensure that color and white output is the same in different LED modules at the same DMX values.

Calibrated HSV color mixing

As an alternative to RGB control, hue, saturation and value color control, with one DMX channel for each of these parameters, is available. HSV control is calibrated at the factory.

CTC

From fixture software v. 1.2.0, the MAC 401 Dual's RGB Zoom LED module can vary the color temperature of any color being displayed. White light color temperature is variable from a very cool blue sky (10 000 K) to a warm sunrise (2000 K). The PERS menu contains two settings for the way CTC works:

  • If PERS - CTC - WITH (the default setting) is selected, sending a DMX value on the CTC channel will adjust the temperature of whatever color the fixture or segment is currently displaying. The more saturated the color, the less CTC will be noticeable.
  • If PERS - CTC - INDP is selected, sending a DMX value on the CTC channel will act independently from color controls, override any currently selected color and the fixture or segment will switch over to white light with variable color temperature.

CTC control is calibrated at the factory. It works in RGB, HSV and RAW modes, but in RAW mode it is uncalibrated.

Color wheel effect

The electronic 'color wheel' effect gives the convenience and feel of a mechanical color wheel. The color wheel effect in the RGB LED module lets you fade or snap between 33 different full LEE-referenced colors. You can also scroll continuously forwards or backwards through the colors or display random colors at variable speed.

The approximate RGB equivalents of the 'color wheel' colors are given in "LEE colors and RGB equivalents" on page 35.

MAC 401 CT Zoom / CT Zoom LED module

This section describes the lighting effects available in the CT Zoom LED module that is fitted as standard to the MAC 401 CT Zoom and available as an accessory for the MAC 401 Dual.

Raw warm white and cold white

The CT Zoom LED module gives separate control of warm white and cold white using two DMX channels. This control mode is raw, so it gives absolute maximum output.

Calibrated color temperature control

CTC can be varied continuously from 7000 K to 3000 K using one DMX channel which mixes cold and warm white LEDs. This control mode is calibrated at the factory, so color temperature will be the same in different modules, but intensity is very slightly reduced compared to raw warm white and cold white mode to allow a margin for adjustment.

Service and maintenance

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Service and maintenance - 1

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before servicing the MAC 401.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Service and maintenance - 2

Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling. Do not view the light output from less than 1 meter (3 feet 4 inches) without shade 4-5 welding goggles. Set the zoom to wide angle and work in well-lit conditions. Be prepared for the fixture to light suddenly if connected to power.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Service and maintenance - 3

Warning! Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Service and maintenance - 4

Important! 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.

The user will need to clean the MAC 401 periodically, and it is also possible for the user to remove and install head modules, change the mains fuses and update the firmware. All other service operations on the MAC 401 must be carried out by Martin Professional or its approved service agents.

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 Martin supplier for details.

It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, LEDs are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color and overall brightness over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent LED performance will be affected. However, you may eventually need to ask Martin Professional to replace LEDs if their characteristics are affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very precise optical and color parameters.

Cleaning

Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 401.

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 Martin dealer about a suitable

Figure 7: Head air filter

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.

You can set the fixture to issue a time alert after a defined number of operating hours has passed to remind you to clean it. This is set by default to 999 hours. You can adjust this threshold from 100-999 hours using the INFO - AIRF - STTM menu on the control panel. Whenever the value on the INFO - AIRF - TOTL counter exceeds the threshold set on INFO - AIRF - STTM, an alert will be displayed on the control panel.

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Cleaning - 2

Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool before cleaning.

To clean the fixture:

  1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  2. See Figure 7. Unclip and remove the head air filter from the center of the lens plate. Rinse the filter in lukewarm soapy water and blot dry. If the filter is not in perfect condition, replace it with a new one (available from Martin, P/N 62407156).
  3. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents at the back and sides of the head and in the base with low-pressure compressed air.
  4. Clean the front glass 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 low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.

  5. Reinstall the head air filter.

  6. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.

  7. Using the INFO-AI RF-TOTL control menu, reset the counter for elapsed time in hours since the fixture was cleaned to 0 by displaying the counter and pressing and holding the up button for five seconds.

Removing and installing head modules

From software version 1.2.0 (available for download free of charge from www.martin.com for fixtures with earlier software versions), two head modules can be installed and controlled in the MAC 401 ^™ .

To remove a head module:.

  1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  2. See Figure 8. Use a Torx 30 screwdriver to release the four head module retaining screws (arrowed), lift the module away from the yoke slightly, disconnect the head module safety wire and lift the module away from the head.

  3. Head module installation procedure is the reverse of the removal procedure. See Figure 9. When installing a module, clip the safety wire into the attachment point in the yoke frame, and make sure that the connectors in the module engage in the connectors in the yoke frame while you press the module into position on the head.

  4. The MAC 401 automatically senses which modules are installed when power is applied.

Control menu service utilities

Fixture reset

The RST command in the MAN menu resets the fixture and can be used as a first remedy if an error occurs.

Software upload

The MAC 401 software can be installed and updated by the user. Software updates are available for download on the Product Support pages of the Martin website at www.martin.com

The following are required in order to install software:

• A PC running Windows 98/2000/XP
• The latest version of the MAC 401 software, available for download from www.martin.com
• The Martin™ Software Uploader Application, available for download from www.martin.com
- A Martin Universal USB/DMX Interface device (P/N 90702045) with USB cable (supplied with the device) and 5-pin XLR male to 5-pin XLR female DMX cable.

Normal upload

A MAC 401 should automatically enter software upload mode when it is connected as described above. If it does not, use SERV→UPLD in the control menu to prepare the fixture for the upload. Carry out the upload in Auto/DMX mode as described in the Uploader application help file.

If the display and control panel are unusable because the software has become corrupted, carry out a boot mode upload (see below).

Boot mode upload

Carry out a boot mode upload only if the fixture software is totally corrupted (which is evident if the control panel does not respond when power is applied) or if the software update notes call for a boot sector update. To carry out a boot mode upload:

  1. Disconnect the fixture from power.
  2. Remove the left-hand (as seen from the front of the head) side cover from the yoke to expose the main PCB.
  3. See Figure 10. Locate the 2-pin DIP-switch (arrowed) on the PCB and move pin 1 to ON (Boot mode upload enable).
  4. Reapply power, upload the software, and disconnect from power.
  5. Move DIP-switch pin 1 back to OFF (Normal) and reinstall the yoke side cover.

Figure 10: 2-pin DIP switch for boot mode upload

If a checksum error occurs when powering on after performing a boot mode upload, carry out a normal upload as described above.

Both DIP-switch pins should be set to OFF during normal operation.

Testing

A series of test commands are available in the TEST menu, these enable:

  • Testing the LED effects and zoom only
  • Testing pan/tilt movement only
    • Lighting all segments of the display for five seconds

- Testing effects (LED and zoom) and pan/tilt movement at same time

Fixture readouts

DMX input signal

The DMXL menu lets you view 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.

Fixture status

The MAC 401 gives fixture status readouts in the INFO menu:

  • Current software/firmware version information is available for the main processor in the base, and for the processors in each of the installed LED modules (one or two).
  • The POHR counters display hours with power on. The RSET counter displays hours since the counter was last reset, and the non-resettable TOTL counter displays hours since the fixture was manufactured.
  • Temperature readouts from the main PCB in the base as well as the average temperature of driver and pixel (i.e. LED) PCBs in the head are available. In each case, you can view the current temperature, the maximum temperature reached since the readout was last reset, and the maximum temperature reached since manufacture.

Lubrication

In general, the MAC 401 does not require lubrication. However, depending on use conditions, the moving parts in the head and zoom mechanisms may eventually require reapplication of lubricant. Excessive noise during pan/tilt and zoom movement is a sign that lubrication may be required. This operation can be carried out by a Martin service partner if necessary.

Fuse replacement

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Fuse replacement - 1

Warning! Disconnect from power before replacing a fuse. Replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating only. Never bypass or bridge a fuse.

The MAC 401 is protected by two 10 AT mains fuses located in fuseholders next to the power cable entry (see Figure 1 on page 7).

MARTIN MAC 401 Dual CT Zoom - Fuse replacement - 2

To replace a fuse:

  1. Isolate the fixture from power.
  2. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the fuseholders and remove the fuses for testing or replacement.
  3. Replace defective fuses with ones of the same type and rating only. Replacement fuses are available from Martin.
  4. Reinstall the fuseholders before reapplying power.

If a fuse blows repeatedly, disconnect the fixture from power immediately and consult your Martin supplier.

DMX protocols

Two DMX protocols are given below: for the MAC 401 RGB Zoom module and CT Zoom module.

Certain channels in the CT Zoom module's DMX protocol are intentionally left without function to avoid having to repatch channels if one type of module is replaced with another.

For each protocol, pan, tilt and fixture control channels are only available if the module is installed on the front of the head. If a module is installed on the rear of the head, control of pan, tilt and fixture functions is not available in that module's DMX protocol. Instead, they must be controlled using the DMX channels for the module installed on the front of the head.

For information about setting up DMX modes, see "DMX setup" on page 13.

Troubleshooting

Problem Probable cause(s) Remedy

Fixture is completely dead.No power to fixture. Check power and connections.
Fuse blown.Disconnect fixture from power. Check fuses and replace.
One or more fixtures resets correctly but responds erratically or not at all to the controller.Fault on data link.Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables.
Data link not terminated.Insert termination plug in output connector of the last fixture on the link.
Incorrect fixture DMX addressing.Check addressing on fixture and controller. Check fixture is set to correct DMX mode.
One of the fixtures is defective and is disturbing data transmission on the link.Unplug XLR in and out connectors and connect them directly together to bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is regained. Have faulty fixture serviced by Martin service technician.
XLR pin-out on fixtures does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed).Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pins 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically.
Light output shuts down unexpectedly.Fixture is too hot.Clean the fixture, especially air vents. Ensure free airflow around fixture. Check that ambient temperature does not exceed max. permitted level. Switch to FULL cooling mode. If problem persists, contact Martin for advice.
