Physical installation Installation safety The fixture weighs 39 kg (86 lbs.), not including installation hardware. See “Dimensions” on page 2 for details of the fixture’s physical dimensions. Warning! The MAC Ultra Wash has a powerful pan motor. The torque reaction when the head is panned suddenly can cause the base to move if the fixture is standing unsecured on a surface.

AC power Electrical safety The MAC Ultra Wash features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that automatically adapts to AC mains power at 200-240 VAC (nominal), 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power that is not within this range. Note that the fixture must not be connected to AC mains power at 100-120 V. Maximum current draw is as follows: •...

Applying power Warning! The MAC Ultra Wash does not have a power On/Off switch. As soon as you connect an energized power input cable to the fixture or apply power to a power input cable that has already been connected, the fixture will power up: check that there is no safety risk from head movement or intense light output.
Data links Important! Shut down power to the fixture before connecting to or disconnecting from data. The MAC Ultra Wash has two pairs of connectors for control data In/Out: • one pair of XLR sockets (A in Figure 8), and •...
4. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold (-) conductors at the data output of the last fixture on the link. If the link is divided into branches using a DMX splitter, terminate each branch of the link.
Service and maintenance Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before servicing the MAC Ultra Wash. Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before handling. Do not stare into the light output. Be prepared for the fixture to light and move suddenly when connected to power.
Cleaning Regular cleaning is very important for fixture life and performance. Buildup of dust, dirt, smoke particles, fog fluid residues, etc. degrades the fixture’s light output and cooling ability. Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC Ultra Wash.
See Figure 9. The battery is located in the USB port / battery compartment (arrowed) next to the control panel on the base of the fixture. To replace the battery: 1. Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool. 2.
