Finally, the user may install custom gobos and optional accessories for the fixture as directed in the fixture’s User Manual (available for download from the Martin website at www.martin.com).
When using the fixture in dusty conditions we recommend the use of head air filters with paper elements. These are available as accessories in sets of 12 from Martin suppliers by ordering P/N 50400765.
The MAC Viper XIP has a non-rechargeable 3-volt lithium battery that provides power to the control panel and display when the fixture is not connected to AC mains power. If the battery runs flat, you must replace it.
If not, contact your Martin supplier for a replacement. Install the cover (or module), fastening it in position with its two screws. Check that it is closed securely before reapplying power. 8. Dispose of the used battery responsibly: send to an authorized waste recycling and disposal center.
