Secondary Attachment; Adjusting Aiming (Pan And Tilt) - Martin Exterior Projection 1000 User Manual – Preliminary

Secondary attachment

If a secondary attachment is required for reasons of safety (in
entertainment venues, onboard ships or in temporary
installations, for example), see drawing on right. Loop a safety
cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture through the
secondary attachment point (arrowed) in the fixture and attach
the safety cable to a secure anchoring point so that the cable will
catch the fixture if the primary method of attachment fails.

Adjusting aiming (pan and tilt)

Warning! The fixture can become hot. Wear heat-resistant gloves if you adjust the
aim of the fixture when it is (or has recently been) powered on.
Fixture aim adjustment is best carried out after the fixture has been connected to power and in weak
light conditions so that the projection from the fixture is clearly visible.
See illustration on right. If you require very precise aiming and setup,
we recommend that you order the projection setup gobo available from
Martin™ for the Exterior Projection 1000 (see 'Accessories' on page 36)
and install it in the gobo wheel while you adjust fixture aim, focus, etc.
To adjust the aim of the fixture:
1. Set the fixture to project a setup gobo or another gobo with a
sharply defined pattern. You can select the image remotely either
via DMX or by using the MANUAL TEST menu in the fixture's
control panel (see 'Manual test' on page 13).
2. Put on heat-resistant gloves.
3. See illustration on right. Loosen the tilt lock Allen (hex)
screws (arrowed) on both sides of the yoke slightly, just
until you can tilt the fixture in the yoke.
4. See 'Anchoring to a surface or structure' on page
5. Loosen the bolts in the center hole A and curved slots
C slightly, just until you can rotate the yoke.
6. Pan and tilt the fixture until it is aimed correctly.
7. Using a torque driver, tighten the four tilt adjustment
screws to a torque of 1.8 – 3.5 Nm.
8. See 'Anchoring to a surface or structure' on page 8.
Tighten the bolts in the center hole A and curved slots
C and install bolts in holes B. Check that the fixture will
be held securely in all wind and weather conditions.
