Service And Maintenance; Tilt Lock; Servicing The Head Air Filters - Martin MAC Quantum Wash Safety And Installation Manual

Service and maintenance

Warning! Read "Safety Information" on page 4 before servicing the MAC Quantum Wash.
Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes
minutes before handling. Do not stare into the light output. Be prepared for the fixture to light and
move suddenly when connected to power.
Warning! The MAC Quantum Wash™ contains components that are accessible and live at high
voltage while the fixture is connected to power and that remain under tension for 30 minutes after
power is disconnected. Only technicians who are authorized by Martin™ and who have the Martin™
service documentation for the MAC Quantum Wash are permitted to open the fixture. Users may
carry out external cleaning and service the MAC Quantum Wash's head air filter as described in this
section, following the warnings and instructions provided, but any service operation not described
in this manual or in the product's User Guide must be referred to a qualified service technician.
Important! Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes
overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is
not covered by the product warranty.
The user will need to clean and replace the air filter in the head and clean the MAC Quantum Wash
periodically. The user may also upload firmware (fixture software) to the fixture via the DMX data input port
or USB port using firmware and instructions from Martin™. All other service operations on the MAC
Quantum Wash must be carried out by Martin™, its approved service agents or trained and qualified
personnel using the official Martin™ service documentation for the MAC Quantum Wash.
Installation, on-site service and maintenance can be provided worldwide by the Martin Professional Global
Service organization and its approved agents, giving owners access to Martin's expertise and product
knowledge in a partnership that will ensure the highest level of performance throughout the product's
lifetime. Please contact your Martin™ supplier for details.
It is Martin™ policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials
available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, optical
components are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color
over many thousands of hours of use. The extent of wear and tear depends heavily on operating conditions
and environment, so it is impossible to specify precisely whether and to what extent performance will be
affected. However, you may eventually need to replace optical components if their characteristics are
affected by wear and tear after an extended period of use and if you require fixtures to perform within very
precise optical and color parameters.

Tilt lock

The tilt position of the head can be locked for service. See Figure 1 on page 6. Push the lock in towards the
yoke in one direction to lock the head and back in from the other side to unlock the head.
Important! Release the tilt lock before applying power to the fixture and before packing the fixture in its
flightcase.

Servicing the head air filters

Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool for 30 minutes before servicing the air filters in
the head.
To service the head air filters:
1. Disconnect the fixture from power, allow components to cool for 30 minutes, position the head so that
the back of the head is accessible and apply the tilt lock (see Figure 1 on page 6).
