Color wheel

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. The DMX Protocol on page 23 gives details of color filter selection.
To replace a color filter
Note: Wear cotton gloves while handling color filters and use
only genuine Martin filters.
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power and allow it to
cool.
2. Lock the head in the upside-down position (the indication
TOP on the back of the head must be upside down) and
remove the bottom cover.
3. See illustration on right. Turn the color wheel to access
the desired filter position. Press the filter forwards
slightly (A) to release it and then grasp it by the edges
and remove it (B). If your fingers are too large, protect
the glass with a piece of paper that has been folded
several times and grasp the filter with needle nose pliers.
4. To insert a filter, slide it under the retention spring until it
snaps into place. Check that it is securely seated.
5. Replace the cover and unlock the head before applying
power.
