Lamp - Martin Atomic 3000 User Manual

Lamp

This section describes the lamp options, the lamp power setting, and how
to replace the lamp.
The lamp is electronically regulated to prevent overheating. Lamp
regulation can be seen, for example, by the gradually decreasing intensity
of the blinder effect.
Lamp power setting
The Atomic 3000 provides high and low lamp power settings. The high
power setting provides maximum flash intensity; the low power setting
reduces output by approximately 50 percent and extends lamp life. The
setting is selected on pin 6 of the Mode DIP switch and applies regardless
of the other switch settings.
Approved lamps
Warning: Only Martin MAX-7 or MAX-15 lamps are approved in the Atomic
3000. Installing a lamp that is not approved may create a safety
hazard or damage the fixture!
The Atomic 3000 is supplied in two models with different lamps: the
Martin MAX-7 and MAX-15 xenon strobe lamps. The MAX-7 model will in
theory accept AC power from 90 to 250 volts, but for optimum lamp life we
only approve use with power rated from 100 to 120 volts nominal. The
MAX-15 model will in theory accept AC power from 125 to 250 volts, but
