Control Panel Operations - Martin MAC III User Manual

Control panel operations

You can configure individual fixture settings such as the MAC III Wash's DMX address, read out data,
execute service and view the event log using the fixture's backlit graphic display and control panel. The
control menu overview starting on page 44 gives a complete list in table form of the menus and commands
available.
After a pause while the fixture boots and resets, the DMX address and any status messages (see page 49)
appear in the graphic display A when the MAC III Wash is powered on.
Using the control panel
Click (i.e. press once) the jog wheel B once to enter the menus. Rotate the jog wheel to scroll up and down
menus and click the jog wheel once to make a selection. Rotating the jog wheel faster gives high-speed
scrolling.
Once you have made a selection, either click the jog wheel to save it or press the Escape button C to
cancel. If you save the selection, Saving... is displayed for 1 second. If you cancel, the menu returns to the
previously saved value. Press the Escape button to step backwards through the menus.
The jog wheel and Escape button continue to function while the Saving... message is displayed.
Status LED on jog wheel
An LED in the center of the jog wheel indicates fixture status depending on the color displayed and DMX
status depending on whether the LED flashes or lights constantly:
• GREEN: All fixture parameters normal.
• AMBER: Warning active (service interval exceeded, for example). If ERROR MODE in the control menus
is set to Normal, the warning message will be shown in the display. If ERROR MODE is set to Silent, the
display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the warning message.
• RED: Error detected. If ERROR MODE is set to Normal, the error message will be shown in the display. If
ERROR MODE is set to Silent, the display must be activated with the jog wheel to display the error
message.
• FLASHING: No DMX signal detected.
• LIGHTS CONSTANTLY: Valid DMX signal detected.
If an error has been detected and the LED is red when the fixture is powered off, the LED will continue to
flash red slowly. This feature allows easy identification of fixtures that require service intervention even if
fixtures are disconnected from power.
Martin flightcases for the MAC III Wash contain a small window through which the status LED is visible.
