Introduction Thank you for selecting the ERA 600 Performance from Martin®. This moving-head spotlight offers the following features: • Bright 550 W, 6500 K LED light source • 19 000 lumens output • Crisp optics with flat field • 1:8 fast zoom •...
Tilt lock Check that the tilt lock is released before applying power to the fixture. See Figure 1. Release the tilt lock by sliding the tilt lock button (arrowed) to the Unlocked position. You can reapply the tilt lock by first checking that the power is off and then sliding the tilt lock button back to the Locked position.
Physical installation Warning! The ERA 600 Performance 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. Do not apply power to the ERA 600 Performance unless the base is securely fastened to a stable surface or structure.

The mounting points in the base allow omega brackets and rigging clamps to be fastened as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: Clamp bracket positions Clamping the fixture to a truss 1. Check that all rigging hardware is undamaged and can bear at least six (6) times the weight of the fixture or as required by locally applicable regulations.

5. See Figure 6. Install a safety cable that is approved as a safety attachment for the weight of the fixture by looping it through one of the four safety cable attachment points (arrowed) in the bottom of the base and around a secure anchoring point so that the safety cable will catch the fixture if a primary attachment fails.
AC power Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power. Note in particular that you must not connect more than one ERA 600 Performance fixture to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when operating on 100-200 V mains power, and you must not connect more than three ERA 600 Performance fixtures to the MAINS OUT/THRU socket when operating on 200-240 V mains power.

Using 12 AWG / 2.5 mm cables from Martin, you can link: • maximum two (2) ERA 600 Performance fixtures total in one chain at 100-200 V, or • maximum four (4) ERA 600 Performance fixtures total in one chain at 200-240 V. If you connect more than one fixture to power in a daisy-chain, we recommend that you draw power from a circuit that is protected by a type D MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker).
Data links Important! Shut down power to the fixture before connecting to or disconnecting from data. DMX and RDM The ERA 600 Performance has 5-pin locking XLR sockets for DMX and RDM input and output (see A in Figure 8). The default pin-out on both sockets is: •...
Service and maintenance Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 4 before servicing the ERA 600 Performance. 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.
• Presence of cigarette smoke. • Airborne dust (from stage effects, building structures and fittings or the natural environment at outdoor events, for example). If one or more of these factors is present, inspect fixtures within their first few hours of operation to see whether cleaning is necessary.

• Avoid touching the other gobos when removing a gobo from a rack: the sharp edge of one gobo can scratch the others. • Keep gobos perfectly clean to reduce the risk of heat damage. • When cleaning gobos, use a repeated dabbing action rather than a rubbing action. When rinsing, use distilled or even better deionized water to avoid residue that will appear as drying marks.
Page 19
Replacing a rotating gobo Important: Different screw sizes and types are used on the modules and components inside the head. Make sure that you do not mix them up. Apply a small quantity of Loctite 222 to the threads of all the screws mentioned in this section when you reinstall them.
Page 20
5. See Figure 13. Rotate the head through 180° so that you are looking at the top of the head. Remove the six screws (arrowed) from the effects module retaining plates and keep the plates and screws for re-use. Figure 13: Removing the effects module retaining plates 6.
Page 21
8. See Figure 15. Note the position of the reference marks in the gobo drive wheel A and goboholder B. Note also the position of the goboholder positioning magnet C and gobo wheel positioning magnet D. Each time you remove a goboholder from the wheel, turn the drive wheel (twice if necessary) until the marks exactly line up.

Coated Glass Gobos The heavy matted aluminum coated borosilicate gobos in the ERA 600 Performance are factory-installed with the more reflective sides facing towards the LED light source. Replacement gobos must also be installed with more reflective sides facing the LEDs in order to avoid heat damage.
Page 23
Gobo alignment See Figure 18. Note the position of the alignment marks (arrowed) on goboholders and gobos. Install gobos with the alignment marks next to each other. Figure 18: Gobo alignment marks Gobo replacement procedure Avoid getting grease from your fingers or dirt onto gobos. Hold gobos by their edges only. Wear nitrile cleanroom gloves when handling gobos.
