Page 6: Lamp
About the discharge lamp The MAC 550 Profile is designed to use a double-ended 400 W discharge lamp. Two lamps are approved: the OSRAM HTI 400 W/D3 and the Philips MSR 400 SA/DE Gold. Both lamps have a color temperature of 7500K and an average service life of 750 hours. - Page 7 Important! Align the lamp carefully. An excessive hot-spot will damage optical components. 1. Switch on the MAC 550 Profile and allow it to reset. Using either a controller or the control module, turn on the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface.

Page 8: Ac Power
Power supply adjustment The MAC 550 Profile can operate on 100-120 or 200-240 VAC power. The voltage selection switch is set at the factory for 200-240 V. For use with 100-120 V power, the fixture must be reconfigured as follows. -
Page 9: Data
Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 550 Profile 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. -
Page 10: Rigging
IGGING The MAC 550 Profile can be placed on stage or clamped to truss in any orientation. The mounting points allow the clamp brackets to be fastened parallel or perpendicular to the front as shown Figure 6. Figure 6: Clamp bracket positions Warning! Always use 2 clamps to rig the fixture. -

Page 14: Effects
FFECTS This section describes the functions programmed in the MAC 550 Profile DMX protocols. The fixture has two DMX operating modes, basic and 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, color wheels, iris, zoom, and focus. -
Page 15: Color
Color The two overlapping color wheels each have 8 color filters that scroll continuously, allowing split colors, or in full-color steps. The protocol provides commands for random and continuous color scrolling at different speeds. Fine control of the color wheels is available in extended mode. Rotating gobos Gobo wheel 1 has six rotating gobos that can be indexed (repeatedly positioned at a programmed angle), rotated continuously, shaken (bounced), and scrolled. -

P e r s o n a l i t y o v e r r i d e s The pan/tilt speed channel provides tracking values that allow you to override the pan/tilt speed setting from the controller. The effects speed channel provides values for overriding the shortcuts setting for the color and gobo wheels. MAC 550 Profile... -
Page 17: Optical Configuration
Color wheels The MAC 550 Profile provides two overlapping color wheels with 8 interchangeable color filters and an open position. Color wheel 1 is closer to the lamp and color wheel 2 is closer to the lens. The illustrations show the filter positions as seen from the lens. -
Page 18: Gobos
C u s t o m g o b o s Martin can provide many additional gobos for the MAC 550 Profile, which accepts the same size gobos as the MAC 500. For more information, please visit the Martin web site at www.martin.com. - Page 19 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 550 Profile are factory-installed in this position. However, if there is an unusually high risk of heat damage on a custom coated gobo, the first priority is normally to ensure that more reflective sides face towards the lamp.

Verify that the gobo is centered in the opening. 5. Replace the top head cover and release the tilt lock before applying power. Animation wheel The MAC 550 Profile comes with the “Radial breakup” animation wheel installed. Three additional stock patterns are available. Radial breakup (included) - Page 21 removal. In touring or similar applications where the fixture is frequently moved, install the animation wheel with the magnet in towards the drive mechanism for a more secure hold. 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2.

Page 22: Routine Maintenance
OUTINE MAINTENANCE The MAC 550 Profile requires routine cleaning. The schedule depends heavily on the operating environment. It is essential to follow the cleaning guidelines given later in this section. Refer any service operation that is not described here to a qualified Martin technician. - Page 23 4. Position the head top side up so that you have access through the top. Holding the focus lens by its base, slide it out it to its limit at the front of the fixture as shown in Figure 15.

Page 24: Cleaning
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 550 Profile. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation. -
