  • Page 21: Service Utilities

    Service utilities Status messages The MAC One features a self-diagnostic system that detects any issues concerning correct operation or safety (temperature that exceeds safe level, for example) and communicates the issues as status messages or warnings. These messages can be useful in connection with service and maintenance. Error messages appear in the fixture’s control panel display, but you can also call them up via RDM.

    Service and diagnostic messages The MAC One gives service and diagnostic 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 with the fixture still in the rig, for example, while the full-text message gives more detailed information.
