Important! Align the lamp carefully. An excessive hot-spot will damage optical components. 1. Apply power and allow the MAC 700 Wash to reset. Using either a controller or the control menu, strike the lamp and project an open white beam on a flat surface.
Important! Never connect more than 1 data input and 1 data output. The MAC 700 Wash has both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The pin-out on all sockets is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). There is no connection to pins 4 and 5.

channel 16 (in basic mode) or 23 (in extended mode) if you want to obtain instant snap dimming to/from intermediate values (e.g. if you want a snap from 100% to 50% or from 20% to 70%). Fine control of the dimmer is available on channel 3 in extended mode. Cyan, magenta, yellow and color temperature control Cyan, magenta, yellow and CTC can be added on channels 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively (4, 6, 8 and 10 in extended mode).

The MAC 700 Wash features a color wheel with 8 interchangeable dichroic color filters and an open position. As standard the MAC 700 Wash is supplied with six color filters, a 3200 - 4100 K CTC filter and a UV transmitter filter that gives ultraviolet ‘black light’ installed. The illustration shows the filter positions as seen from the lamp side.
Routine maintenance The MAC 700 Wash requires routine cleaning. The schedule depends heavily on the operating environment. It is essential to follow the cleaning guidelines given later in this section. Refer any service operation that is not described here to a qualified Martin technician.
Cleaning schedules for lighting fixtures vary greatly depending on the operating environment. It is therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the MAC 700 Wash. Cooling fans suck in airborne dust and smoke particles, and in extreme cases fixtures may require cleaning after surprisingly few hours of operation.
The following are required in order to install software. • The MAC 700 Wash update file, available for download from the User Support Area of the Martin web site (http://www.martin.com). • The Martin Software Uploader program, version 5.0 or later, available for download from the User Support Area of the Martin web site.
