OPERATION

3

The lamp will light when the power-on switch at the back of the fixture is turned on.

To achieve optimal results, the use of smoke effects together with your Mania EF4 is recommended.

SETTING THE TRIG MODE

Use the switch on the back of the fixture to set it to Auto or Music trig mode.

Trigger mode switch Power-on switch

In:

- Auto Trig mode trigger signals are generated randomly. This will result in unsynchronized operation that is not in time with music.

- Music Trig mode the built-in microphone will generate trigger signals as a result of sounds that it picks up. This will result in synchronous effects in time with any music that is being played.

The Mania EF4 contains the following gobo wheel.

Gobo-wheel rotation is activated and deactivated using the gobo-wheel rotation switch:

- The wheel will stop when the switch is set to O.

- In Auto trig mode the wheel will rotate when switch is in position I or II.

- In Music trig mode the wheel will react to the beat of the music in position II, or will spin continuously in position I.

BASIC SERVICE

This chapter describes the maintenance procedures that you can perform yourself.

Warning The exterior of the fixture can become hot. Always disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before handling or opening.

CLEANING

Regular cleaning of the elements in the optical path, as well as the air vents, is vital to maintaining the operational quality of the Mania EF4.

Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particulate buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage to the fixture that is not covered by the warranty.

Cleaning the air vents

To maintain adequate cooling, dust must be cleaned from the air vents periodically. Remove dust from the air vents with a soft brush, cotton swab, vacuum, or compressed air.

Cleaning optical components

Clean the optical components regularly. The presence of smudges or dust on optical surfaces can reduce the strength of the light output and the quality of the effects.

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.

1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes.

2 Remove the thumb screw holding the cover in place.

4 Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed air.
5 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.
6 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 circular motion from center to edge. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or compressed air.
7 Close the fixture cover and tighten the thumb screw, taking care not to trap any loose wires.

LAMP MAINTENANCE

Warning Isolate electrically before re-lamping. The lamp shall be changed if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.

Caution Hot lamp.

Only the Philips 12V EFP/8H 100W (type No 6834) lamp is supported (Martin P/N 97000004). These lamps normally last for 800 hours of operation.

Warning Installing any other lamp may damage the fixture!

8 Gently push the lamp into the holder until it snaps into place.

9 Close the fixture cover and tighten the thumb screw.

MAINS FUSE

The Mania EF4 uses a time-delay fuse for protection against current overload. An indication that the fuse may have blown is that when power is applied and the lamp is switched on, no light is produced.

If the fuse blows repeatedly, there is a fault with the unit that requires service by a Martin technician.

Never bypass the fuse or replace it with one of another size or rating.

Replacing the main fuse

1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket.

2 Pry open the fuse holder (located next to the mains power connector) with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the fuse.
