Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin™ MAC 250 Wash™, a moving head wash light with a range of color-changing and control options and a 250 watt long-life discharge lamp. The MAC 250 Wash features a newly-designed glass reflector that gives extremely high light output.
• Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both overload and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. • Check that power supply settings match the local AC power before use. • 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 • Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged covers, shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens.
Setup Unpacking The MAC 250 Wash is supplied with: • MSD 250/2 lamp (factory installed) • 3-meter, 3-wire IEC power cable • Wide-angle lens • This user manual • Two 1/4-turn T-brackets for mounting a clamp • 5-meter, 3-pin shielded XLR control cable The packing material or flightcase is carefully designed to protect the fixture during shipment - always use it to transport the fixture. When installing the MAC 250 Wash, you may find it useful to lock the head in place using the tilt lock (see illustration).
CONFIGURING FOR LOCAL AC POWER Frequency 50 60 Voltage 250 230 210 100 120 Figure 2: Power supply settings 1. Disconnect the fixture from power. 2. Remove the 2 Phillips screws in the access cover directly behind the power and data connectors (see Figure 2). 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 between 2 settings, select the higher voltage.
2. Plug the prepared power cable into the AC input socket and a grounded (earthed) AC power outlet. Installation LOCATION AND ORIENTATION The MAC 250 Wash may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface. For safe operation, install the MAC 250 Wash in a location where: • there are no flammable materials nearby • the fixture is at least 0.
5. Install a safety cable that can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture securely to the structure and anchor the cable to the dedicated attachment point on the base. The attachment point is designed to fit a carabiner clamp. Figure 4: Safety cable attachment point 6. Check that there are no combustible materials or surfaces to be illuminated within 0.1 meter (4 inches) of the fixture, and that there are no flammable materials nearby. 7.
Control panel You can set the MAC 250 Wash’s DMX address, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data, and execute service utilities from the MAC 250 Wash’s control panel. Settings can also be changed remotely via the DMX link with the Martin MP-2 uploader. See also the control menu overview starting on page 28. Menu navigation The DMX address and any error messages are displayed after the fixture resets. To enter the menu, press [Menu].
• , the pan and tilt invert menu, allows you to swap the pan and tilt channels (→), invert pan movement (→), and invert tilt movement (→). These options can be useful in situations where you want some fixtures to mirror the performance of others with the same DMX address, or when fixtures are not oriented as programmed. • , the pan/tilt speed menu, provides 2 settings: and (normal).
settings are overridden. The message scrolls in the display if you try to change speed settings via the or control options. CMY BLACKOUT • (CMY blackout) in the menu makes the shutter blackout more effective. When set to , the CMY flags are activated 3 seconds after the shutter is closed. This absorbs any light output that escapes past the shutter. The CMY flags open automatically when the shutter is opened.
displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular performance. The remaining readouts under display the DMX values received on each of the 13 channels available in both 16-bit and 16-bit Extended modes, from (shutter, channel 1) to (effect speed, channel 13). If the fixture does not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.
Lamp power and reset shortcuts The control panel buttons can be used to control lamp power and reset the fixture. • To strike the lamp, press [Enter] and [Up]. • To douse the lamp, press [Enter] and [Down]. • To reset the fixture, press [Menu] and [Up]. LED signal readouts Four LEDs next to the digital display give additional information about fixture status: • Ready: fixture is ready for operation. • DMX: fixture is receiving a valid DMX signal. • Lamp: lamp is struck and lit.
DMX control The MAC 250 Wash is compatible with USITT DMX 512 controllers and can be added to a standard DMX data link. This section briefly describes the DMX-controllable effects. See “DMX protocol” on page 26 for an overview of DMX control options. DMX operating modes The MAC 250 Wash has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit and 16-bit Extended. 16-bit mode uses 13 DMX channels and 16-bit Extended mode uses 19 DMX channels.
COLOR The color wheel can be scrolled continuously – allowing for split color effects – or in steps, and rotated randomly or continuously in both directions at different speeds. In 16-bit Extended mode, the color setting selected on channel 10 can be fine-tuned on channel 11.
Optics Color filters STANDARD CONFIGURATION The MAC 250 Wash provides 6 dichroic color filters as shown below. Position 6 1 5 2 3 Color 1 Blue 108 2 Green 206 3 Red 308 4 UV 5 Pink 312 6 CTC 5500 - 2900 K Table 2: Standard colors 4 Figure 5: Color wheel (viewed from lamp side) REPLACING A COLOR FILTER Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot – up to 160° C (320° F).
3. Put on clean lint-free gloves or use a clean lint-free cloth to avoid having to clean filters after handling. 4. Turn the color wheel to access the desired color filter. Press the filter away from the wheel slightly to release it from the retaining lugs (A) and then lift it out of the wheel (B) – see Figure 7. A B A Figure 7: Color filter replacement 5. Color filters must be installed with the coated side facing towards the lamp as in Figure 8.
Installing the wide-angle lens A 61.5° cutoff-angle wide-angle lens is supplied with the MAC 250 Wash, together with all items necessary to install it. To install the wide-angle lens: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2. Set the tilt lock and remove top and bottom head covers. 3. See Figure 9. Prepare to hold the front lens assembly as it is released, then remove the four retaining screws and remove the assembly. 4. See Figure 10.
Service Warning! Read “Safety information” on page 5 before servicing the MAC 250 Wash. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow to cool for 45 minutes before handling or removing any cover. Refer any service operation not described here to a qualified service technician. Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials. The exterior of the fixture can get very hot – up to 160° C (320° F). Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool for at least 45 minutes before handling.
Lamp replacement Lamp life will vary. The rated life of a lamp is the average operating life before lamp failure in the manufacturer’s test cycle. To reduce the risk of lamp explosion that will almost certainly damage the fixture, replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its rated life. Never exceed a long-life lamp’s rated life (3000 hours for the Philips MSD 250/2) by more than 10 percent.
7. Align the screw holes and fasten the lamp access plate with 2 screws. 8. If installing a new lamp, reset the lamp hour and lamp strike counters as described on page 13. 9. Strike the lamp and adjust for optimum performance by turning the three 3mm Allen screws shown in Figure 12 one at a time until the brightest part of the beam is centered. 10. A hot-spot can be adjusted out with the three Allen screws. Turn the screws an equal amount to maintain lamp alignment.
11. Remove the two 4mm Allen screws from the carrying handles on the sides of the base unit and remove the louvered side covers. Clean the cover louvers and base fan with a cotton swab or soft brush and vacuum. 12. Refit the base unit covers before reapplying power. Lubrication The MAC 250 Wash requires no lubrication under normal circumstances.
3. Carefully remove and check the two fuses located in the bottom of the PCB (see “Circuit board connections” on page 34). Replace as necessary with fuses of the same size and rating (see “Fuses” on page 37). 4. Re-attach the yoke cover. If fuses blow repeatedly, have the fixture serviced by a Martin service technician. Updating software The latest MAC 250 Wash firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at http://www.martin.com.
