Setup

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing
the MAC 301 Wash.

Control panel and menu navigation

The onboard control panel and backlit graphic display are used to set the MAC 301 Wash's DMX address,
program stand-alone operation, configure individual fixture settings (personality), read out data and execute
service utilities. See "Onboard control menus" on page 21 for a complete list of menus and commands.
Using the control buttons
• To enter a menu, select a function or apply a selection, press ENTER.
• Press UP and DOWN to scroll within a menu or adjust values.
• To escape a function or move back one level in the menu structure, press ESC.
• See Figure 3. There are two sets of control buttons. If the fixture is rotated through 180°, press once on
any control button in the set that are now below the display. The display will rotate through 180° so that it
is correctly orientated.
Display panel functions
The DMX address is shown in the display panel when the MAC 301 Wash is powered on and has reset.
The display panel backlighting indicates fixture status as follows:
• The display dims to zero during resets.
• The display flashes slowly if the fixture is not receiving a valid DMX signal.
• The display flashes quickly if an error has been detected and stored in the ERROR LIST menu.
• The display dims to zero 30 seconds after the fixture begins receiving a valid DMX signal.

DMX address setting

The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the
controller. For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two MAC 301
Wash fixtures may share the same address, however, if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can
be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse pan
and tilt options.
The DMX address is configured using the DMX ADDRESS menu in the control panel.
