INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting the Martin MAC 250 Krypton or the MAC 250 Entour.
• Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. • Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician. PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LAMP EXPLOSION • Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers. • When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before opening the fixture or removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses. • Do not stare directly into the light.
SETUP Unpacking The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour comes with: • • • • • MSD 250/2 lamp (factory installed) 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable user manual 1/4-turn clamp mounting bracket 5-meter, 3-pin shielded XLR control cable The MAC 250 Entour also comes with an extra 14° lens. The packing material or flightcase is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it to transport the fixture.
2. Remove the 2 Phillips screws in the access cover directly behind the power and data connectors. Lift off the cover. 3. Locate the selection switches. 4. Move the voltage switch to the setting that most closely matches the local AC voltage. If your voltage falls halfway between 2 settings, select the higher voltage. For example, if the AC voltage is 220 V, use the 230 V setting instead of 210 V. 5. Move the frequency switch to the setting that matches the local AC frequency: 50 or 60 Hz. 6.
The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour includes an omega clamp mounting bracket to which 1 or 2 rigging clamps (not included) can be bolted. The clamp mounting bracket fastens to the base as shown with 1/4-turn fasteners. Figure 2: Clamp mounting bracket Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point provided in the base. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment. Always use an approved safety cable. The 1/4-turn fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. 1.
TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK • Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use 24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link exceeds 500 meters. • Never use a “Y” connector to split the link.
CONTROL PANEL You set the address and personalities, read out data, and execute service utilities from the control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the serial link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu table starting on page 41. Menu navigation The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [menu]. Use the [up] and [down] keys to move within the menu. To select a function or submenu, press [enter].
• , the shortcuts setting which can be found under the PERS (personality) menu, determines whether the color and gobo wheels scroll past open when changing positions. When set to , the wheels can “take a shortcut” and scroll through open when this is the shortest path to the next position. The wheels do not scroll past open when is set to OFF. DISPLAY The display menu (→) determines whether the display remains lit or not.
FIRMWARE VERSION → displays the firmware version number. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup. Test and service utilities DMX READOUT The DMX log () menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems. displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.
DMX-512 CONTROL The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour is compatible with USITT DMX512 controllers. The full protocol is available in “DMX protocol” on page 33. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit Extended mode uses 17 DMX channels, three more than the 14 DMX channels than standard 16-bit mode requires. 16-bit Extended mode provides more precise control of the dimmer color, and focus settings. All other functions are identical. See “DMX protocol” on page 25.
angle or rotation speed are selected on channel 5 (channel 7 in 16-bit Extended mode). Fine tuning of this index position or rotation is available on channel 6 (channel 8 in 16-bit Extended mode). The gobo wheel can also rotate continuously in both directions at variable speed. FIXED GOBOS (MAC 250 ENTOUR ONLY) The MAC 250 Entour provides an additional wheel with 10 fixed gobo positions (plus open). The gobo and the type of movement are selected on channel 7 (channel 9 in 16-bit Extended mode).
does not offer cross-fade speed control. Vector control also provides smoother movement, particularly at slow speeds, with controllers that send slow or irregular tracking updates. When using vector control, the cross-fade time on the controller must be set to 0. BLACKOUT When “blackout while moving” is selected on the speed channels, the shutter closes when the effect moves to make the transition invisible. The shutter opens when the movement is complete.
OPTICAL CONFIGURATION GOBO ORIENTATION The orientations shown in Figure 3 are correct in most cases, but consult your Martin dealer or gobo supplier if you are in any doubt about the orientation of a specific gobo type. Coated Glass Gobos More reflective side towards lamp Less reflective side away from lamp To minimize the risk of gobo overheating and damage, the more reflective side of a coated gobo must normally face towards the lamp.
CUSTOM GOBOS Custom glass gobos for the MAC 250 Krypton/Entour should be made so that the artwork is reversed when viewed from the lamp side (i.e. looking at the more reflective side). Consult your supplier for advice, if necessary. Gobo types and dimensions are specified in on “Gobos” on page 49. Rotating gobos The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour accepts up to eight metal or glass gobos with an outside diameter of 22.5 mm and a maximum image diameter of 17 mm.
REPLACING A GOBO Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot - up to 120° C (248° F). Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool for at least 45 minutes before handling. Do not removing covers while the fixture is powered on as this exposes dangerous live electrical circuits, hot surfaces, and a lamp under high pressure. 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool. 2.
7. Insert the gobo holder back in the gobo wheel using a small flathead screwdriver to lift the retaining blades. 8. Replace the cover before applying power. Fixed gobos (MAC 250 Entour only) The MAC 250 Entour provides 10 fixed gobo positions (plus open). .

SERVICE The MAC 250 Krypton/Entour requires regular maintenance to maintain peak performance. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup will degrade performance and cause overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician. Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials.
power and allow it to cool for at least 45 minutes before proceeding. Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes. 3 mm #2 Figure 5: Lamp installation 1. Locate the lamp access cover at the back of the fixture head and remove the two Phillips screws. 2. Pull out the lamp socket. 3. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. 4. Holding the new lamp by its ceramic base (do not touch the glass), align the small pin on the lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely.
2. Wash dirty lenses and filters with isopropyl alcohol 99.9%. A generous amount of regular glass cleaner may also be used, but no residues may remain. 3. Rinse with distilled water. Mixing the water with a small amount of wetting agent such as Kodak Photoflo will help prevent streaking and spotting. 4. Dry with a clean, soft and lint-free cloth or blow dry with compressed air. FAN To maintain adequate cooling it is important that the fan be cleaned regularly.
4. Re-attach the yoke cover. Have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician if fuses blow repeatedly. Updating software The latest MAC 250 Krypton/Entour firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX interface.
