  • Page 14 Whether one or two LED modules are installed on a fixture, all modules’ DMX addresses must be set manually using the ADDR menu for that module. You can set the address of each module on the rear of the head immediately after the channels used by the module on the front of that head, or group similar modules together, for example, or set addresses according to any other preference.

    HSV control is calibrated at the factory. From fixture software v. 1.2.0, the MAC 401 Dual’s RGB Zoom LED module can vary the color temperature of any color being displayed. White light color temperature is variable from a very cool blue sky (10 000 K) to a warm sunrise (2000 K).

  • Page 20: Service And Maintenance

    Please contact your Martin supplier for details. It is Martin policy to apply the strictest possible calibration procedures and use the best quality materials available to ensure optimum performance and the longest possible component lifetimes. However, LEDs are subject to wear and tear over the life of the product, resulting in gradual changes in color and overall brightness over many thousands of hours of use.
