INTRODUCTION 1 Thank you for selecting a Martin Mania EF3. The Mania EF3 is a preprogrammed/music-activated dynamic lighting fixture that features a motorized rotating reflector with coated mirrors and a motorized rotating wheel with 8 gobos (gobos are outlines or masks placed in a light beam to create different patterns). Six gobos are colored and two are textured effects.
Do NOT block exhaust vents. Shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens shall be changed if they become visibly damaged to the extent that their effectiveness is impaired, for example, by cracks or deep scratches. The lamp shall be changed if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed. If the external power cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord exclusively available from your Martin dealer.
Preventing injuri es due to fall s • When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices. • Verify that all external covers and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable. • Block access below the work area whenever installing or removing the fixture.
2 INSTALLATION AC POWER Before operation ensure that factory setting of voltage and frequency match local power supply. Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically. Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault protection. Note: If the external power cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be replaced by a special cord exclusively available from your Martin dealer.
Installing a plug on the mains lead Warning! For protection from dangerous electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply shall have overload and ground-fault protection. Important! Verify that the feed cables are undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices before use. The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution cable or outlet.
Always use a secure means of secondary attachment such as a safety wire. For indoors use only. To hang the Mania EF3 on an overhead support: 1 Verify that the structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all installed fixtures, clamps, cables, auxiliary equipment, and other items. 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 mounting bracket on the fixture with a grade 8.
3 OPERATION The lamp will light when the power on/off switch at the back of the fixture is turned on. To achieve optimal results, the use of smoke effects together with your Mania EF3 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/off switch • In Auto Trig mode, trigger signals are generated randomly. This will result in a dynamic light show that runs constantly and does not require music to trigger it.
THE GOBO WHEEL The Mania EF3 contains the gobo wheel illustrated below. A B A set of dichroic colored filters is mounted on the gobo wheel. The two open gobo apertures A and B feature textured effects. 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.
Note that it is the whole wheel, and not the individual gobos, that rotates. FOCUSING THE MANIA EF3 The focus is adjusted using the mechanism next to the lens. This is easiest to do in Music Trig mode while no music is being played. Pull the mechanism out, or push it in, until a sharp image is acquired.
4 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 EF3.
2 Remove the thumb screw holding the cover in place. Thumb screw 3 Slide the fixture cover open as far as possible (there is a physical stop point that prevents access to the power supply section). 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.
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! Installing a lamp in the Mani a EF3 1 Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. 2 Remove the thumb screw holding the cover in place.
5 Pull the socket off the lamp. Do not pull the wires. 6 Push the socket fully onto the pins of the new lamp. 7 Clean the glass bulb and reflector with a cloth, particularly if your fingers touched the glass. A clean, lint-free cloth wetted with alcohol is best. 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 EF3 uses a time-delay fuse for protection against current overload.
2 Pry open the fuse holder (located next to the mains power connector) with a flat-head screwdriver and remove the fuse. Fuse holder 3 Replace the fuse with one of the same type. The fuse rating is listed on the serial number label and in “Mania EF3 specifications” on page 19. 4 Replace the fuse holder.
5 TROUBLESHOOTING problem probable cause(s) suggested remedy No light No power to the fixture Check connections Blown fuse If power is applied and the lamp is switched on, but does not light, then check and replace fuse if necessary.
