Notes
Introduction Thank you for selecting the Martin MAC 575 Krypton™.
AC power WARNING! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The AC mains supply must be fitted with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection. Important! There are terminals on the ballast to match different voltages and AC frequencies. Check that these are correctly wired before applying power. Configuring the ballast for AC power The MAC 575 Krypton can be connected to 200-240 V nominal AC mains power at 50 or 60 Hz.
Lamp About the discharge lamp The MAC 575 Krypton is designed for use with the GE CSR 575/S/DE/70 lamp. This highly efficient double-ended short-arc discharge lamp provides a color temperature of 7000 K, a color rendering index greater than 85, and an average lifetime of 750 hours. Warning! Installing a lamp that is not approved may create a safety hazard or damage the fixture! To reduce the risk of explosion, replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average service life, i.e.
4. With the nipple on the replacement lamp facing towards the back as shown in Figure 4, insert the left pin into the socket. Push down on the right-hand spring and snap the pin into place. Nipple facing towards back Figure 4: Lamp insertion 5. Make sure that the terminals on the lamp sit below the V-section in the lampholder clips and not in the V-section itself, as shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: Lamp terminals 6. Lift the lamp assembly so that lamp is level with the center of the reflector.
DMX data link Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 575 Krypton has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5. The sockets are wired in parallel: both inputs connect to both outputs.
Rigging The MAC 575 Krypton can be placed on stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using the clamp bracket mounting points shown in Figure 7. Figure 7: Clamp bracket positions and safety wire attachment point Warning!Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. Lock each clamp with both 1/4-turn fasteners. The fasteners are locked only when turned fully clockwise. Warning!Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point labelled “SAFETY WIRE” in the base.
Control panel You can set the MAC 575 Krypton’s DMX address, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data, and execute service utilities from the fixture’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 35 for a complete list of the menus and commands available in the control panel.
Dimmer The dimmer curve setting (→) provides two options for dimmer behavior. Select to simulate tungsten dimming or for more linear dimming. Display The display intensity (→) setting controls display brightness. Select for automatic display or manually set the intensity to a level from to .
Firmware version → displays the version number of the installed firmware. The firmware version is also displayed briefly at startup. DMX 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. displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received.
performance between fixtures. Dimmer and zoom are calibrated to defined points. The other effects are calibrated relative to an arbitrary reference fixture. All offsets can be set to (the middle of their adjustment range) with the default offset command: select →→→ then press [Enter]. To calibrate effects 1. Apply power but do not strike the lamp until zoom has been calibrated. 2. To calibrate zoom, first remove the bottom head cover. Select →→ and press [Enter].
Effects This section describes the effects that can be controlled via DMX in the MAC 575 Krypton. The MAC 575 Krypton has two DMX operating modes, 16-bit basic and 16-bit extended. The extended mode requires six more DMX channels than the basic mode and provides all features of the basic mode plus fine control of the dimmer, both color wheels, iris, focus and zoom.
In basic mode, color wheel 1 is controlled on channel 3 and color wheel 2 is controlled on channel 4. In extended mode, color wheel 1 is controlled on channel 4, with fine control on channel 5. Color wheel 2 is controlled on channel 6, with fine control on channel 7. Rotating gobos The rotating gobo wheel (gobo wheel 1) has six gobos that can be selected, indexed (positioned at a programmed angle), rotated continuously, and shaken (bounced). The gobo wheel can also be scrolled continuously.
With tracking control, the speed at which effects move is determined by a cross-fade time programmed on the controller. With this method, the controller divides a movement into tiny steps that the fixture “tracks”. Tracking control is enabled via the speed channel for the effect concerned. With vector control, speed is set with a DMX value on the speed channel. This provides a way to control speed on controllers without cross-faders.
Optical configuration Color wheels The MAC 575 Krypton features two color wheels, each with 8 interchangeable dichroic color filters and an open position. As standard the MAC 575 Krypton is supplied with 15 color filters and a CTC (color temperature control) filter installed. The illustration shows the filter positions as seen from the lamp side. The DMX Protocol on page 29 gives details of color filter selection.
Gobos Gobo wheel 1 provides 6 rotating gobos; gobo wheel 2 provides 9 static gobos. The standard gobo configuration is shown in Figure 10 on page 21. All gobos are interchangeable with the following limitations: • On wheel 1, the gobo retention spring works with gobos up to 3 mm in thickness. Thicker gobos can be glued to the holder with a UV adhesive or Loctite 330 Multibond with Activator.
Gobo orientation in the MAC 575 Krypton The orientations shown in Figure 11 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 Focus is easiest to maintain if all coated gobos in a fixture are installed with their coatings as close as possible to the same plane of focus. The coated gobos in the MAC 575 Krypton are factory-installed in this position.
To repl ace rotating gobos Important! The gobo can fall out if the spring is inserted backwards. 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2. Position the head upside down and remove the bottom head cover. Turn the gobo wheel to the desired position. Grasp the holder by the teeth and pull the holder lightly towards the front lens to release the holder and remove it from the wheel. 3.
Service and maintenance Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before servicing the MAC 575 Krypton. 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. Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture.
3. Remove the front lens by twisting one quarter-turn counter-clockwise. Figure 14: Releasing top and bottom covers and removing front lens 4. Position the head top side up so that you have access through the top. Holding the zoom lens by its base, slide it out it to its limit at the front of the fixture as shown in Figure 15.
5. Flip the head upside-down. Move the focus lens to its forward limit by pulling on its belt as shown in Figure 16. Head upside down Figure 16: Moving the focus lens forward 6. Unlock the gobo module by pulling the levers on each side towards the center. Lift the module up 1 cm (0.5 in.) and release the levers. Lift the module straight up to remove from the head. Figure 17: Gobo module locking levers 7.
Cleaning the fixture 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow the components to cool completely. Remove the covers, front lens and gobo modules as described earlier. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles with compressed air. Carefully clean the optical components. 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.
If a fuse blows repeatedly, disconnect the fixture from power immediately and consult your Martin supplier. Replacing the lamp socket The lamp holder used in the MAC 575 Krypton eventually wears out due to the high voltages that pass through the contacts. Wear begins to show up as discoloration at the contact surfaces. When this happens, resistance increases and the lamp becomes harder to strike. If this process is allowed to continue, the lamp is likely to fail prematurely.
