• When suspending the fixture, ensure that the supporting structure and all hardware used can hold at least 10 times the weight of all the devices they support. • Install the fixture only as described under “Physical installation” on page 11. In all truss-mount installations where the fixture is not hanging vertically in ‘free hanging mode’, use a rigging clamp that completely encircles the truss chord, and bolt the clamp directly to the fixture’s mounting bracket with a grade 8.8 strength bolt and unworn self-locking nut.

Introduction Thank you for selecting the Atomic 3000 LED™, an intelligent lighting fixture from Martin Professional™. This powerful LED-based stroboscopic effect light builds on the industry-standard Martin Atomic 3000 DMX™ strobe effect, and features: • A ‘Beam’ LED array that gives powerful strobe and blinder effects •...
AC power Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before connecting the Atomic 3000 LED to AC mains power. Warning! For protection from electric shock, the Atomic 3000 LED must be grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Data link Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Atomic 3000 LED. A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the Atomic 3000 LED via DMX. The Atomic 3000 LED 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 (+).
Physical installation Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Atomic 3000 LED. Warning! Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 1 m (3 ft. 4 in.) from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 20 cm (8 in.) from the fixture, that there is free airflow around the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
Mounting the fixture on a truss The Atomic 3000 LED can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When mounting on a truss: • Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
2. See Figure 5. Fasten the omega bracket to the fixture’s mounting bracket at A (or to the fixture housing itself at B) with quarter-turn fasteners. Fastening to the mounting bracket is preferable, as this will let you adjust the aim of the fixture. 3.

Warning! The Atomic 3000 LED has two safety cable attachment points (see Figure 1 on page 7). Secure the Atomic Colors scroller against falling with a safety cable passed through the attachment point on the right when viewed from the back of the fixture. Use the other attachment point for the safety cable that secures the fixture.
Page 15
4. Fasten the carabiner clip on the Atomic Colors safety cable to the safety cable attachment point on the right-hand side of the Atomic 3000 LED when looking at the back of the fixture. Make sure that the clip is fully closed, repositioning the clip if necessary, so that the safety cable is secure.
Setup Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Atomic 3000 LED. Control panel and menu navigation The onboard control panel and backlit graphic display on the back of the fixture are used to set the Atomic 3000 LED’s DMX address, configure individual fixture settings, read out data and execute service utilities.
Control panel shortcuts Two shortcuts are available in the control panel before you enter the menus: • Pressing and holding the MENU button for 2 seconds opens a shortcut menu that lets you reset the fixture or rotate the display. •...
Personality The Atomic 3000 LED provides several options that let you optimize the fixture for different applications in the PERSONALITY menu: • DIMMER CURVE provides four dimming options that apply to both the Beam and the Aura light output (see Figure 9): DMX % DMX % DMX %...
- If the fixture is set to reduced cooling fan speed, increase the speed in the COOLING MODE menu. - If necessary, clean the fixture, particularly the air vents. - Check that there is sufficient airflow around the fixture. If possible, increase ventilation. - If possible, provide reduced ambient temperature by moving the fixture away from sources of heat, providing airflow from a cooler source of air, etc.
DMX signal monitoring The Atomic 3000 LED provides data on the DMX signal it is receiving in the DMX LIVE menu. This information can be useful for troubleshooting control problems. RATE displays the DMX refresh rate in packets per second. Values lower than 10 or higher than 44 may result in erratic performance, especially when using tracking control.
Operation and effects Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on page 3 before installing, powering, operating or servicing the Atomic 3000 LED. The Atomic 3000 LED can be controlled using a DMX control device. See “DMX protocol” on page 27 for a full list of the channels and values required to control the different effects via DMX.
FX offset (synchronizing FX across multiple fixtures) You can set fixtures so that they all start their FX cycle at the same time or you can shift any fixture’s FX start time so that it displays its FX in sync with another fixture but with a time offset (delayed start). Consider an FX cycle as consisting of 360°...
Service and maintenance Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before servicing the Atomic 3000 LED. Warning! Disconnect the fixture from AC mains power and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before handling. Be prepared for the fixture to light suddenly if connected to power. Warning! Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician.
Warning! Disconnect from power and allow to cool before cleaning. To clean the fixture: 1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes. 2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture and the air vents at the back and base with low-pressure compressed air.

Installing using a USB memory device Important! Do not remove a USB memory device while the fixture is updating files. The following are required in order to install firmware using a USB memory device: • The Atomic 3000 LED firmware update file, available for download from the Martin website at http://www.martin.com.
Fixture readouts See also “Fixture information readouts” on page 19. DMX input signal DMX LIVE menu lets you view the DMX values received on each channel in the mode it is currently set to. If the fixture does not behave as expected, reading the DMX values can help you troubleshoot the problem.

Service and display messages The Atomic 3000 LED gives service and maintenance information by displaying a large 3- or 4-character short code and a smaller full-text message in the fixture’s display. The short code is visible at a distance, allowing easier reading if the fixture is overhead in a rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed information.
Error messages Error messages indicate that there is a serious problem. The Atomic 3000 LED communicates errors as follows: • Error messages flash in the display. • If more than one error is detected, the fixture flashes all errors three times each. •...
