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" on page 6).
Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm (7.9 ins.) from the fixture, that
combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 100 mm (3.9 in.) from the head, that
there is free airflow around the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.
Make sure that it is impossible for the moving head to collide with another fixture or other object.

Placing the fixture on a flat surface

The MAC 101 can be placed on a stage or other level, flat surface. Check that the surface can support at
least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
Warning! The supporting surface must be hard and flat or air vents in the base may be blocked,
which will cause overheating. Secure the fixture against falling. Attach a securely anchored safety
cable to the safety cable attachment point (see "Fixture overview" on page 6) if the fixture is to be
placed above ground level in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The MAC 101 can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation.
Warning! Use a rigging clamp with an M12 bolt if suspending the fixture from its base. The clamp
must be screwed into the central threaded hole in the fixture base. The M12 bolt must protrude
20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the fixture base.
To clamp a MAC 101 to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging
structure can support
at least 10 times the
weight of all fixtures
and equipment to be
installed on it.
2. Obtain a rigging clamp
such as the G-clamp
(P/N 91602003),
Half-coupler clamp
(P/N 91602005) or
Quick trigger clamp
(P/N 91602007)
available as
accessories from
Martin. An omega bracket is not required.
3. Check that the rigging clamp is undamaged and can bear at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Fasten the clamp to the fixture with a minimum grade 8.8 steel M12 bolt in the threaded hole in the
center of the base of the fixture. The bolt must protrude 20 - 30 mm (0.8 - 1.2 ins.) into the base of the
fixture.
4. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the
arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp.
