Safety information WARNING! Read the safety precautions in this manual before installing, powering, operating or servicing this product. The following symbols are used to identify important safety information on the product and in this manual: Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Safety hazard. Risk of severe injury or death. LED light emission. Risk of eye injury. Refer to manual before installing, powering or servicing. Hazardous voltage. Risk of lethal or severe electric shock.
Protection from electric shock Do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. Shut down power to the fixture before carrying out any installation or maintenance work and when the fixture is not in use. Ensure that the fixture is electrically connected to ground (earth). 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.
obtain 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2 power input and throughput cables that are 16 A rated and temperature-rated to suit the application. In the USA and Canada the cables must be UL-listed, type SJT or equivalent. In the EU the cables must be type H05VV-F or equivalent. Suitable cables with Neutrik PowerCon connectors are available from Martin™ (see Accessories on page 29).
Protection from injury Fasten the fixture securely to either a fixed surface or fixed structure when in use. The fixture is not portable when installed. Ensure that any supporting structure and/or hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support. If suspending from a rigging structure, fasten the fixture to a rigging clamp. Do not use safety cables as the primary means of support.
Introduction The RUSH PAR 2 RGBW Zoom™ is a bright single-lens LED PAR Can with fully premixed color from 12 RGBW LEDs and a 10 to 60° motorized zoom. It offers electronic dimming and strobe and comes with a flexible bracket for floor or truss mounting. The PAR 2 RGBW Zoom can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller. The fixture is supplied with a 1.5 m (5 ft) power cable (local power plug not included) and a mounting bracket with two legs. Before using the product for the first time 1.
Fastening the fixture to a flat surface The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it. Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over.
AC power Read Safety information on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power. Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using this input cable. If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on page 11.
frequency to the fixture. Linking fixtures to power in a chain If you obtain a 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2 power input cable and 12 AWG or 2.5 mm2 throughput cables from Martin™ (see Accessories on page 29), you can relay mains power from one fixture to another by connecting fixtures to power in a linked daisy-chain, MAINS OUT throughput socket to MAINS IN input socket. Using 12 AWG or 2.

5 – Primary (mains power) fuse F1 The T 6.3A fixture fuse is located in a fuse holder next to the power input/output connectors. 6 – AC mains power IN A blue Neutrik PowerCon socket is provided to connect the fixture to AC mains power. 7 – AC mains power OUT (THRU) See Safety information on page 4. The light-grey Neutrik PowerCon socket can be used to supply power to other fixtures only if the supplied power input cable is replaced as directed in this manual and safety limits are respected.
AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. The pinout on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard. Standard pinout is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).
DMX function settings DMX function settings include the DMX address and DMX control mode. DMX addressing The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture can be controlled using signals sent by a DMX controller over a different number of channels depending on which DMX mode it is set to.
2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select the desired DMX mode and press ENTER to set (or, to return to the higher level of the menu structure without making a change, press MENU). Dimming curves Four dimming curves are available: DIMMER 1: LINEAR – The increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased. DIMMER 2: SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.
3. Press ENTER to confirm your choice (or, to return to the higher level of the menu structure without making a change press MENU). Display panel backlight sleep mode To set the display panel backlight to remain on all the time or to automatically switch off when the control panel is not in use: 1. Select BACKLIGHT and press ENTER. 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select ON (display backlight constantly on) or OFF (display backlight turns off when not in use).
2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select an effect: dimmer, red, green, blue, white, color wheel, shutter or zoom. Press ENTER to confirm your selection. 3. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to change the value (000-255). The test will be the equivalent of sending this DMX value to the selected effect. 4. Press ENTER to confirm your selection and activate the effect (or, to return to the higher level of the menu structure without making a change, press MENU). 5.
Firmware version To see which software version is installed in the fixture: 1. Select FIXTURE VERSION and press ENTER. The firmware version will be shown. 2.

Maintenance Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before servicing the fixture. Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician. Disconnect mains power before cleaning or servicing the fixture. Service the fixtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from falling parts, tools or other materials. Cleaning Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture.
3. Clean the LED lenses by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub the surface hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water. 4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.
