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. Refer to the DMX protocol for filter names.

To replace a color filter
Note: Use only genuine MAC 550 color filters.
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to cool.
2. Remove the bottom cover.
3. Turn the color wheel to access the desired filter position. Press
the filter forwards slightly to release it and then grasp it by the
edges and remove. If your fingers are too large, protect the
glass with a piece of paper that has been folded several times
and grasp the filter with needle nose pliers.
4. To insert a filter, slide it under the retention spring until it snaps
into place.
5. Replace the cover before applying power.
