  • Page 8: Ac Power

    Important! Verify that power supply settings match the local AC supply before use. The MX-10 is factory configured for 230 V / 50 Hz operation. If your AC power supply is different, the fixture must be configured for the local voltage and frequency. Always use the settings that are closest to your AC supply.

  • Page 9: Installation

    L O C A T I O N A N D O R I E N T A T I O N The MX-10 may be installed in any orientation. It can be fastened directly to a suitable surface, hung with a rigging clamp, or placed directly on a level surface.

  • Page 10: Connecting The Serial Data Link

    For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial link exceeds 500 meters. • Never use a “Y” connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier.

  • Page 11: Control Panel

    Address selection The MX-10 requires 13 channels for DMX control. The 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 address and non-overlapping control channels.

    G O B O R O T A T I O N A N D S E L E C T I O N The MX-10 has 8 indexed-rotation gobo positions plus an open position. Gobos can be indexed (positioned at a defined angle), rotated continuously, or rotated and shaken (bounced).

  • Page 15: Speed Control

    P A N A N D T I L T Mirror pan and tilt are controlled on channels 8 to 11. The course control channel sets first 8 bits (the most significant byte or MSB), and the fine channel sets the second 8 bits (the least significant byte or LSB) of the 16-bit control byte. In other words, the fine channel fine-tunes the position set by the course channel.

    PTICAL CONFIGURATION Gobos The MX-10 accepts eight metal or glass gobos with an outside diameter of 22.5 mm and a maximum image diameter of 17 mm. Complete gobo specifications are listed on page 33. S T A N D A R D G O B O C O N F I G U R A T I O N The MX-10 provides 8 gobos as shown below.

  • Page 20: Service

    ERVICE The MX-10 requires regular maintenance to keep performing at their peak. Excessive dust, grease, and smoke fluid buildup degrades performance and causes overheating and damage that is not covered by the warranty. The maintenance schedule will depend on the application and should be discussed with your Martin distributor. Refer any service that is not described here to a professional technician.

  • Page 21: Lubrication

    Lubrication Use only silicone lubricant, Martin P/N 37302003 (500 ml) or P/N 37302004 (200 ml, in applicator bottle). No other lubricant is approved for use. When applying lubricant, always remove excess and do not get oil on other parts.

  • Page 22: Updating Software

    Updating software The latest MX-10 firmware is available from the support area of the Martin web site at www.martin.dk. It can be installed via the serial data link using a supported Martin uploader such as the MP-2, or via a LightJockey 4064 ISA DMX interface.
