    Physical installation Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the fixture. Warning! See illustration below. Position or shade the head so that the front of the head will not be exposed to sunlight or any other strong light source from any angle – even for a few seconds.

  • Page 12: Standing The Fixture On A Flat, Horizontal Surface

    Mounting bracket angle scales See illustration on right. The fixture’s mounting bracket has angle scales printed on both sides next to the adjustment handles. The scales show the precise angle at which the head is tilted. There are two scales. The inner scale is for use when standing the fixture on the floor.

  • Page 13: Fastening The Fixture To A Flat Surface

    Fastening the fixture to a flat surface Use a stable horizontal surface that can support at least 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that it will support. Ensure that all fasteners used can support at least ten times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support.

  • Page 14: Securing With A Safety Cable

    Bolt a rigging clamp to a Martin omega bracket (available as an accessory by ordering P/N 91602001 from your Martin supplier) using a grade 8.8 steel bolt. See illustration on right. Fold the legs of the fixture’s mounting bracket together and fasten the omega bracket securely to the mounting bracket.

  • Page 15: Connecting To Ac Power

    Connecting to AC power Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before connecting the fixture to AC mains power. Before you connect other fixtures to the POWER OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on page 16. For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed).

  • Page 16: Linking Fixtures To Power In A Chain

    Linking fixtures to power in a chain If you obtain a 12 AWG / 2.5 mm power input cable and 12 AWG / 2.5 mm throughput cables from Martin (see “Accessories” on page 46), you can relay mains power from one fixture to another by connecting fixtures to power in a linked daisy-chain, POWER OUT throughput socket to POWER IN input socket.

  • Page 17: Connecting To Data

    Connecting to data A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The number of daisy-chained fixtures is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures in relation to the maximum 512 channels available in one DMX universe.

  • Page 18: Fixture Setup

  • Page 20: Tungsten Emulation Mode

    Tungsten emulation mode In tungsten emulation mode, the fixture’s white light output is made warmer, the warm shift is increased at lower dimming levels, and an ‘afterglow‘ effect is added after dimming. This mode gives the ‘look and feel’ of a fixture that uses a 2800 K incandescent light bulb as its source.

  • Page 21: Blackout Or Hold If Dmx Signal Stops
