    Installation This section describes in general terms how to mount the fixture and connect it to data and power. These procedures shall be performed by qualified professionals. Note This product must be installed in accordance with the applicable installation code by a person familiar with the construction and operation of this product and the hazards involved.

  • Page 10: Configuration Overview

    • Martin MC-X remote control to trigger a pre-programmed stand-alone show • Martin Infrared receiver and remote control transmitter (to program and run stand-alone shows) Via a CAT5 data network, a single Imager running a pre-programmed stand- alone show can trigger scene changes in other Imager luminaires (or in Martin Alien 02 or Martin MiniMac Maestro luminaires).
  • Page 11 Required tools To install the Imager luminaire you will need the following items which are not supplied with the product: • Four units of 6 mm mounting hardware appropriate to the mounting surface and appropriate to the approximately 11.6 kg (25.6 lbs) combined weight of the Imager J-Box and the Imager luminaire.

  • Page 12: Power

    Po wer Power is supplied from an Imager Base via the Imager J-Box. They are connected using the following two cables (not supplied): • Lamp power out cable - 5 x 1 mm2 (AWG 18) • Low voltage output cable - 4 x 0.75 mm2 (AWG 18) This product must be mounted or supported independently of an outlet box.

  • Page 26: Stand-Alone Programming Overview

    Stand-Alone programming overview In stand-alone mode, individual Imagers can be programmed to run a show of up to 20 scenes without an external controller. This can be done using the control panel or the optional IR remote control system. The Imager will run its show in a continuous loop. Multiple Imagers on a data link all have their own shows individually programmed, but can have scenes synchronously triggered by a one fixture on the data link.

  • Page 27: Synchronizing Scene Changes For Multiple Imagers

    there are two rules of thumb that will make life much easier; try to ensure that: 1 Every fixture has the same number of scenes. 2 Respective scene times are a few seconds longer on the fixture that issues triggering commands. The rules used in the algorithm are detailed in “Synchronous triggering during Stand-Alone operation”...

Using this method you can simultaneously select and program up to ten Imager fixtures on a single data link using a handheld remote. This method can save time programming individual fixtures.

  • Page 29: Programming Using The Optional Infrared Remote Control

    Programming can be performed using an optional infrared transmitter and receiver system that are orderable from your Martin dealer. Infrared programming can be performed for a single fixture, or up to 10 fixtures on a data link.
