1 INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Martin T-Rex. This lighting fixture uses a 250 watt halogen lamp, a moving 4-facet mirror, a multi-effect color/gobo wheel, and a built-in microphone to project exciting effects automatically in time with the music. T-REX SAFETY INFORMATION Warning! This product is not for household use. It presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock, and falls.
• Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 0.3 meters (12 inches) away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture. • Do not illuminate surfaces within 0.1 meters (4 inches) of the fixture. • Provide a minimum clearance of 1 meter (39 inches) around fans and air vents. • Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum service life.
2 AC POWER The T-Rex’s operating voltage is printed on the serial number label near the AC input. Verify that the operating voltage closely matches the AC supply voltage before applying power. Contact your Martin dealer if the voltage on the label differs from the AC mains voltage by more than five percent. INSTALLING A PLUG ON THE MAINS LEAD The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution cable or outlet.
3 INSTALLATION The T-Rex can be permanently installed or hung with a clamp (not included), or it can be placed on the floor. For maximum lamp life, do not place the fixture directly on or beside a speaker cabinet or other source of strong vibrations. Warning! Block access below the work area before proceeding. Always use a secure means of secondary attachment. INSTALLING OR HANGING THE T-REX 1 Install the mounting bracket on the chassis as shown. Place the washers on the stud before the bracket.
5 Working from a stable platform, clamp or fasten the fixture to the structure. 6 Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture through/over the support and mounting bracket as shown. 7 Loosen the swivel locks, tilt the fixture to the desired angle, and retighten. 8 Verify that the fixture is at least 1.0 meters (39 in.) from the surface to be illuminated and at least 0.3 meters (12 in.) from any combustible materials.
4 OPERATION Warning! Verify that the power cables are undamaged and rated for the current requirements of all connected devices before use. Important! Electric dimmers may damage the electronic components. The lamp turns on as soon as power is applied. The effects start moving as soon as sound is picked up by the built-in microphone. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) adjusts sensitivity when the average sound pressure alters.
5 SERVICE With the exception of the mains fuse and the lamp, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the T-Rex. Please refer all service to a Martin distributor, dealer, or service center. REPLACING THE MAIN FUSE 1 Unplug the mains cable from the input socket. Pry open the fuse holder and remove the fuse. 2 Replace the fuse with one of the same type. The fuse rating is listed on serial number label. LAMP INSTALLATION The T-Rex uses a 24V, 250W ELC halogen lamp.
Installing a lamp in the T-Rex 1 Disconnect the fixture from AC power. If replacing a lamp, allow it to cool for 5 minutes before removing the lamp access cover. The lamp cools faster with the cover in place. 2 Remove both screws from the lamp access cover and lift the cover off. 3 If replacing a lamp, grasp the old lamp by the reflector and pull it out of the holder. Then pull the socket off the lamp. Do not pull the wires. 4 Push the socket fully onto the pins of the new lamp.
6 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Probable cause(s) No power to fixture. Check that power is switched on and cables are plugged in. Primary fuse blown. Replace fuse. Effect fails to reset correctly. The effect requires mechanical adjustment. Contact Martin technician for service. No light. Lamp missing or blown Disconnect fixture and replace lamp. The operating voltage does not match AC supply. Contact Martin technician for service. Blocked air vent. Increase clearance around fixture.
