LED power
INFO→LPWR provides LED power readouts. CURR displays the current LED power. MSR displays the
maximum LED power level since the log was reset, and MR displays the maximum power level recorded
since manufacture. MR is non-resettable.
RDM Unique ID and manufacturer's serial number
INFO→SNUM displays the fixture's unique RDM ID number and the fixture's serial number, both of which
are set at the factory and are non-resettable.

Manual control

The manual control menu (MAN) allows you to reset the fixture (RST) and control individual effects. See
'Control Menu' on page 39 for a full list of commands.
Manual control
The manual control menu MAN lets you control the fixture without a DMX controller. As well as letting you
reset the fixture and control individual effects, the manual control menu allows any combination of the 40
effect macros and 40 pan/tilt macros to be selected (MAN→EFMA and MAN→PTMA). Selecting a macro
starts a pre-programmed sequence of effects, effectively allowing you to run a stand-alone light show
without the need for a DMX controller.

Service utilities

[Enter] must be held for several seconds to access the service menu SERV.
Important!
Test sequences
The TEST menu lets you test the fixture's effects and pan/tilt without a controller. Note that TEST→PCBT
provides routines for circuit board testing that are for service use by Martin only.
DMX
The DMX log (DMXL) menu provides useful information for troubleshooting control problems.
RATE 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 mode.
QUAL displays the quality of the received DMX data as a percentage of packets received. Values much
below 100 indicate interference, poor connections, or other problems with the serial data link that are the
most common cause of control problems.
STCO displays the DMX start code. Packets with a start code other than 0 may cause irregular
performance.
The remaining options under DMXL display the DMX values received on each channel. If the fixture does
not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.
Feedback toggles
On-the-fly position correction systems monitor pan and tilt. If a position error is detected, the fixture
self-corrects. If the system cannot correct the position within 10 seconds, feedback is automatically
disabled.
Pan/tilt position correction can be temporarily disabled by setting SERV→FEBA to off. The Off setting is
not saved, and position correction systems will be re-enabled the next time the fixture starts.
Adjustment
The adjustment menu (SERV→ADJ) provides manual control for making mechanical adjustments. See
page 40.
