Introduction Thank you for selecting the MAC 101™, an intelligent lighting fixture from Martin Professional™. This range of compact LED-based moving-head washlight includes four models: All MAC 101 fixtures feature: • DMX control • Onboard control panel and backlit LCD graphic display •...
The MAC 101 can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten MAC 101 fixtures in total (i.e. including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors.
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a MAC 101 via DMX. The MAC 101 has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the MAC 101 but are available for possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard.
Physical installation The MAC 101 can be placed on a horizontal surface such as a stage or clamped to a truss in any orientation using a rigging clamp. Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable attachment points on the base (see “Fixture overview”...
Quick-mount surface mounting brackets (P/N 91606017) for the MAC 101 are available from Martin in sets of 5 brackets. The bracket can be screwed to a surface and the MAC 101 mounted on and removed from the bracket in seconds. Installation instructions are supplied with the brackets.
(Up) forces the fixture to reset. Display panel functions The DMX address is shown in the display panel when the MAC 101 is powered on and has reset. The display panel backlighting indicates fixture status as follows: • The display dims to zero during resets.
It is recommended when the MAC 101 is used intensively in a warm environment or in fixed installations. Note that it will give increased fan noise compared to the other cooling modes.

The user will need to clean the MAC 101 periodically, and it is also possible for the user to update the firmware and install the optional diffuser accessory available from Martin. All other service operations on the MAC 101 must be carried out by Martin Professional or its approved service agents.
Pan and tilt calibration Pan and tilt on the MAC 101 are calibrated at the factory so that movement is identical in multiple fixtures. Adjustment should not be necessary initially, but over a period of use fixtures may gradually lose calibration.
Software upload The MAC 101 is loaded with both software (that can be installed and updated by the user) and firmware (that is internal and accessible to Martin Service and its authorized partners only). Software updates are available from the Martin website and can be installed with a PC and Martin USB Duo DMX Interface box that can upload software to one fixture at a time.
Installing optional diffuser filters A set of eight medium-angle diffuser filters can be ordered from Martin (P/N 91616018) as an optional accessory for the MAC 101. A diffuser filter softens the output from the LEDs and provides a wider beam angle.
